Shameless self-promotion

From someone who doesn't often read reviews it was a fantastic read.
I am not mechanically minded enough to understand all the figures thrown out (up) during the standard reviews.

This one was more like getting to go out and play at a race track without having to fill in all the OSH paperwork so to speak.

Thanks.

Enjoyed that.At a point in my motorcycling lifetime where at times the head down arse up thing is getting a little annoying after a few hours in the saddle,you make the next step seem somewhat plesurable,my tunes of choice will include Steve Earle and plenty of Cure.Great read,well done.

but is Jim selling out to "The man" ? (rampant commercialism)
Good read dude

A good read indeed, Though its a pity to see the Harley becoming so refined. You buy them then you have to spend some serious coin getting some mongrel put back into them.

Perhaps they need to do a real retro model, Oil leaks, vibrations, see-saw suspension, a kick start, Huge set of bars,....but make it at least 120HP.

I'd buy that. So long as they give it 1974 prices too

You are right I wasnt there. I just had to post that Hels! That post of your was just waiting for that response.
Agree with the congrats too. Just had a read and its a well put together piece.

Jim have you really left that old place of work of yours? Now tell me I won't be hearing any more gripes about working on holiday days and after hours and all that stuff. Hope its been a good life changer for you.

Also great write up about the Harley, and yeah bring on the pics of Hels

Good right up.You could of used a better non de plume for your new career though - ''Jim Walsh'' sounds just so damn boring,not original,and not believable.
