First saw something like this when I was touring the south of France. Parked up my bike and wandering around Nice harbour and a guy on a very big yacht was winching a Harley off the stern. All that money and he chose a Harley. Just shows money can’t buy taste.

Mechanically they are no better or worse than others, they have their own style. Is it because the non biking public seem to think that they are the best, therefore they are automatically downgraded by those who know better, they are almost a cliché?

Don’t handle, not fast, look stupid... There are several yearly Harley meetings where they do the strangest things (what else would you expect ?). They often hoist a Japanese bike blocked at full throttle in a crane, and wait for the thing to seize or explode, which hardly ever arrives. If they would do the same thing with a Harley, the wait wouldn't be so long. Many years ago they would be strong (not in Hp's) everlasting bikes that were the proud product of the US, but that was many years ago . Peter.

The Harley brigade are a load of mummy's boys. That's what I was told by someone who knows about bikers. I believe it may be true.

The Funky Moped is mine! It started first time, pulled away properly, the brakes work, all the electrics work. And as luck would have it, the seller owns a courier company. I said "I tell you what mate, I'll give you the full asking price (£225) if you can drop it off at my mooring one evening this week". He said "How about now?" so within an hour of clapping eyes on it, it was sat next to the potato boat. Unfortunately, it's lashing down with rain right now but I'll have a good look at whether I can get it onto the boat at the weekend, but even if I can't I don't care, for the money I paid it's worth having just for a bit of fun riding up and down the farm track.

For that sort of money, you can't go wrong, congrats with the buy.
Peter.

II agree, just over 200 quid for a running bike with decent brakes has to be a bargain. Report back here when you realise you can't manhandle it into the well deck
