My goodness that's fast.

If I were on that it'd be:

1) rev throttle
2) fall off
3) pick up the pieces from where it ran up the bank
4) walk back head hanging low in shame.

But I'd love to try it.

Now a Ducati on the other hand, pure bliss and it actually handles more than a straight line.

Have you heard the sound of the new Indian with a set of pipes. I will admit that if my neighbour was a shift worker and had one it would irritate me.

Some things in life don't have to be completely practical or logical or make economic sense. Some people like the way a Harley, looks, feels and sounds. They like what it is. Goldwings make me cringe. IMO they look like something old, fat, keychain wearing people would ride. They look about as cool as hot bath and as interesting as a frozen dinner.

Give me a Harley any day. Mind you I'd still be too scared to ride it or any other bike on the road.

Currently down the river and jetskis aren't an issue. Although they aren't being ridden by people that look middle eastern but this is South Australia. Some of them are blindingly quick:o

When I think Goldwing, all I think is 'fat idiot from Florida'.

When i think of Hardly all i think of is some one that is compensating for a small penis :p. Or that midlife midlife change till it almost`s spits them off around a bend which happened to a good mate of mine :cool:
It gets me the majority of Hardly riders dont wear full protection and at times barley legal helmets it`s all about the so called tuff image:confused:.
I for one have seen the effects of a rider come unstuck with out the correct protection it was not a pretty sight :eek:, Because of that no matter what weather or circumstances i wear the full gear ;).
When i ride my bike the image is the last thing i think of it is more about making it as save as i can except i can not be a judge for the other road users that are out to get you:censored:

Agree 100%. I ride my bike for me, not for anyone else. I don't give a rats what I look like (Probably like the Michelin Man wearing a helmet) :D

With you all the way on that. My brother took a tumble not long back at about 55km/h when a kanga sprang out of thin air. The pants and jacket took a solid grazing and if that had've been skin it would have been down to the bone easily.
