I was not enjoying their company at any speed!

Bike went to 220kph for 5km before I turned the lights of and got off the road . After the trucks passed I got going again and was very pleased to see all of the trucks off the side of the road chatting to some very displeased police.

I saw several of the driver at a truck stop near Melbourne. Grumbling and whinging which put a smile on my dial for the next 400km

The hilux boys do give me light hearted curry about my disco off road at time except at river crossings where they float so well like ducks

Was your bike a Ducati? Bob

Italian no thanks Bob. I liked my butt on long rides not to vibrate- Heck I am hazing now! Sorry Dukes are nice bikes.

It was a BMW K100.

A Harley rider once asked to try mine and me his while riding down the Hume. The sod would not get off and after two hours on his hog I know why he wanted my bike He mentioned how cumforatable my bike was. I am still thinking of the correct way to tell him how I felt about his wheels

A current thread on the V-Strom forum has a number of HD riders saying how bad on spine/backside their bikes are. More than a few say they are only good to go to the nearest bar.

There are not bike Ron, call them 2 wheel tractors if you like.

I've never ridden a Harley but I did ride a mate's Vulcan once. While it's no potato potato serenaderer, the sound of the big V twin does urge one to keep twisting. Very comfy too, for the short time I was on it.

If you had the opportunity of driving a Ferguson T20 then it will give you an idea what it is riding a HD

I've driven plenty of tractors Chucky, none of them sounded as good or went nearly as fast as a hardly ridable. My choice of top three bikes would be

• Harley Ultraglide
• BM RT/LT
• Goldwing

Do you see a theme emerging here?

You just need to ask them how the recalls are going to shut them up.
