Jackal1 You can keep your Harley Tractors. Superior product my backside. We Brits nearly killed off your bike industry by selling you superior products from the Midlands. Then we fell into the same trap. You know the one. You peddle the same engines and chassis for years only putting new paint on or a bit of tinsel to try and tempt the buying public investing stuff all and letting arrogance substitute for innovation. Something Harley are good at! Why did Harley survive? Because of import taxes and protectionist policy. ( free trade as long as we can sell you our rubbish, good old US double standards ) Not because they were a superior product!
Now my Triumph isn't that innovative I admit. Thats because it was designed and built a mere five years after the complete change of ownership factory etc. It is a product designed to re establish the marque which it did very well. The latest stuff from Triumph is even better. And anything with a Triumph logo on the tank is way ahead of Harley in terms of handling, and power. The two most important things on a motorcycle.
You are right though about one thing. Chicks dig Harleys, and sad old pretenders who couldn't ride a real motorcycle for poop but feel safe trundling round on some overpriced tarts handbag at 55mph, after they've trailered it to wherever it is they choose to pose!
Your old school poop is dead mate accept it. Now if you'll excuse me I'll quit before this becomes a complete thread hijack. Its the weekend and I'll be out riding, in other words walking the walk not just expelling hot air from my chuff. Night Mr badass scooter boy
