Its a forum, where people chat... jeez if we all stopped talking about things that have happened before we wouldn't get far would we?

Are they really that bad? I have never ridden a Harley but i gather they don't turn like the sporties.

Oh I think we all like to make fun of them. I know a guy has one and he thinks it's great....he's an ex moto x rider with the dubious claim to fame of "having crashed every bike I ever owned...". But he hasn't crashed the Harley...yet.

I did notice that the guy this morning slowed way down when he did reach a corner...even more than I do and that is saying a LOT!

I must test ride one, although my hump-back racing gears would look a little daft on a harley

Reminds me of a near thing awhile back,having some fun on a backroad when i came across a tractor in the distance,there was a gorse hedge partly obscuring my view but as i got closer as he rounded a bend i could see there was nothing coming the other way and took the bend wide as to pass the tractor,what i didnt see was the bloody wide set of discs he was towing

"fine" being used in a relatively loose manner

LOL

an agricultural incident anyway you looked at it

A speeding Harley?

Is this another one of those Fatt Max windups?

You are going too slow mate
Your not a Nanna are you.?
Bikers should not have cars pass them and as for a Harley, you could have blown him to the weeds. You must be the only SV in the country that has had a Harley pass them.

Sure but atleast spice the story up to make it not so repetitive. Like the harley rider had a 10 year old pillian wearing nothing but shorts or how he was sitting on the front wheel of a scooter doing a 100kmph stoppie past a bus load of burning nuns.. Or sumthin
