    ha if only you knew. Thanks for the kudos MBB and to add a few more ingrediants, I don't do tassles, skulls or flames (my choice, no offence scummy). My jacket is devoid of all insignia, my only patch is the area on top thats missing hair (well most of it, the rest falls nicely into a comb over), I wont wear a dorag but I have to wear something in summer, I wear black only because its sliming and look twice before splitting (beach bars need half a lane).

    I ride a harley because I love them for what they are (warts and all) and what they represent, I don't have need for speed (maybe just a little and I love the torque), I have nothing to prove and I'll wave at anyone (ok maybe not scooters), talk to anyone. I respect other riders for doing just that and marvel at your ride (warts and all). Most of all I love the journey.

    now f**k off

    PS Alfa is red with leather but the bike wins most of the time.

    I remember years ago being a wobbly young fool, and look forward to being a wobbly old fool in years to come.

    What does that tell you about my prorities?

    On the other hand, however, I've had the clubs longer than I've had the wife.
    She might claim that they get looked after better as well.

    It’s diametrically opposed to the sanitised existence of the Lemmings around me in the Dilbert Cartoon hell I live in; it’s life at full volume, perfect colour with high resolution and 10,000 watts of amplification.

    Basically this thread started becuase someone got grumpy that some sub-par rider can afford all the flash gears; how dare he!
    If only all useless riders had useless bikes to match eh.

    Ah, no. I'm not jealous of Harley owners in exactly the same way I'm not jealous of Helen Clarks lesbian girlfriend (think about it).

    I started this thread because I wanted to share my laughter at some wobbly old fool on a harley (like so many other wobbly BAB's on Harleys) after reading someone's elses thread on Scooters. There seemed to be a balance that needed tweaking.

    Further, I'm happy enough with my horrid sportsbike, (well, sportsbike, racebike, classic bike), and when I get old and senile and start looking for my marbles under the couch, I may consider buying myself a Hardly. But, and I can assure you that this is true, I will be an old fool on a Harley, but I'll be able to ride in a straight line without novice wobbles.
