Bought the thing in Oct last year, put it in the shed.....Woeful peice of shite that it was.(I took it out briefly a couple of months back and began to bond with it)
No time to do my own spanners, so took it to an independent quite local to me, had him do a 10,000 mile service on it.
Fucking Hell:eek The thing is transformed, I can`t begin to know where to start, I only know that it was a pleasure to ride back the 25 miles to my gaff and I am now actually looking forward to France and Spain on it in July:eek

You wouldn`t believe the crap the last owner had put on it.....Plug caps that didn`t even fit on the plugs, just because they had transparent casings so you could see the spark:rolleyes:

I bought it off e bay whilst having consumed a large quantity of red wine, the wife spotted it and said it looked nice and comfortable.....No more alcohol and e bay for me:D Good thing it was cheap and I must admit that I thought I had bought a bit of a dog, but the chap who worked on it says it is a good sound bike with no issues:eek:

So a good servicing really can work wonders when the guy doing it knows what he is doing....And he is a nice chap too....Rare to find these days.:thumb2
 
Good choice, I fancy one of these too! They are great to ride as long as you don't want to get your knee down or go green laning! They (cruisers) are really a nice way to see the countryside that you are travelling through.

Now, we really do need some photos of this machine att :thumb
 
The Electra Glide is a superb tourer. It will really come into its own going around Spain and France :thumb2

....I ran one for nine years.....no problems, no breakdowns....twat to clean, but a very good 'bike....It became one of those 'bikes, that you absolutely trust, to the point, where it never enters your head, that It might break down.

PROPERLY SERVICED.....:rob (as 'att' has sussed) they run and run......

Newer ones suffer from corrosion issues you know.......:augie
 
That's a monster that is!:eek:

It's one of those bikes I feel I ought to hate, but I must confess, I do rather like them :blush

Att.....you don't seriously call it 'squidge' do you? :blast :rolleyes:

:D No, I call it the fairground ride....It is in the same file as my cat and she is called squidge, just in case:thumb:D

I must admit I feel embarrassed riding it solo, as it really is so over the top:ymca

Serious bit of advice then; take the leg shields off. The heat the engine pumps out when moving slowly or stopped has to be felt to be believed.

It was bloody uncomfortable in a traffic jam in Sheiffeild to day - before I got rear-ended anyway:mmmm

Nice bike:thumb2

A clickable thumb apparently:confused:
I call it the 'fairground ride', as it reminds me of the sort of bikes you could go on when you were a toddler on the merry - go - round:D

Nice bike :thumb2

I don't like the coloured wheels and whitewalls, but the rest is VERY nice!!!
