A ride on my mate's Harley

[MadDuck]

And that said if and when you do, just remember where the footpegs are situated

And there in lies some peoples ignorance. Just like Japanese bikes not all Harleys are the same....I know shock horror.

Cummon you guys know I would eventually bite

However, as usual, mention Harleys amongst any group of bikers and some cock will dazzle you with his originality by regurgitating a tired old line about ‘agricultural’ bikes with ‘shit brakes’ that are ‘unreliable’ and over-priced.

I would never say unreliable.

Neither would I say overpriced. Exchange rates are the issue. When our dollar is doing well the prices aren't too bad at all - especially when one considers what kind of resale one will get a couple of years down the track.

And yeah, maybe the brakes could sometimes be a touch better, but they're good enough. I've pulled up in time before when Jap bikes travelling at the same pace as me have not.

Definately "agricultural" though. That's one of the main things I like about them. Stick your sewing machines up your arse!

i would guess a great rider on a bad bike, will always beat a bad rider on a great bike,as the great rider will get home safely

No idea mate,what i do know is that many supposed sport bike riders believe that purchase of said sportbike justifies endless posturing around rally sites and on week nights total belief that whatever crap they type out on a keyboard is fact,even more sad is the fact that in many cases they will go to there grave without knowing different.

Dont need brakes...dont go fast enough

So sorry to read of your loss but am sure that one day you will get the opportunity to ride a Harley. And that said if and when you do, just remember where the footpegs are situated By the way nothing wrong with an RG cos I almost bought one myself.

One day, once I have had much more experience under my belt. I don't mind dropping the RG lol, I'd cry if it was anything else!

not trying to take the piss, was merely saying that being used to sportsbikes over the years and had my very first ride on a harley, surely you would understand that it takes awhile to get your bearings on a new experience. And I dont bite

Usually takes me about 100 metres.

I like all bikes. Except ones that break down for no reason.
