    I know what the meal budget is in an old folks home. You don't go there for the food.

    OT but in context - I hung around old folks homes sometimes. Co-pilot was a player in the NZ aged care bit.

    We actually talked about whether it would be a goer to set up a care facility specifically for old bikers at one stage. Use your imagination as to how it would be done.


    What I wasn't aware of at first is that a lot of 'old folks' facilities care for the disabled as well.

    I took a few of the ex-riders for a burn when I could jag a suitable vehicle.

    The company will unveil the first model to come from its new design process at its summer dealer meeting. Wandell wouldn't give details but said he thought it would show the company made the right decisions.

    The Yamaha is techncally far superior.
    But Harley hasn't been making technically superior bikes for a long time, it's not really what Harley owners want is it? They're like Holden/Ford buyers, neither make "good" vehicles, yet they're very popular.


    And 883s are fucking rubbish anyway

    Now I'm gonna have to tell you you're talking shit. The Yamaha is excuse me...100cc bigger. And according to their own film clip leaves the 883 for dead? I'd fucking well hope so. It has more susp travel? Yeah...but the 833 Iron is so shorties can ride 'em. More lean angle? If you want lean angle...buy a fucking GSXR!

    Next...how fucking UGLY is that Yamaha? I mean really? They've tried so hard to make it look like the very bike they're rubbishing...but they've failed badly!

    And Ford/Holden make rubbish? My SS ute is twice the vehicle my XJR Jag was/is. Retail when new? I think around $150k vs $45k?

    Lastly...bet I can ride an 883 round Manfeild quicker than you can ride your Kawasaki.

    By being such a Harley basher...you make yourself out to be an uneducated twat.
