I've just joined this site, and didn't expect I'd be posting about Harleys! I recently changed my 2009 Road King for a GS1200LC, as I was finding the RK perhaps not the best handling bike on our nadgery bumpy Fenland roads that we have to put up with here in the East. Even at 6'4" I found it a handful when I had to shunt it about, if I had to do a tight U turn. The GS is a whole 300 lbs lighter, but I will probably miss that lazy torquey engine. I haven't entirely deserted the HD camp, as I still have my 1942 45" WLA, that I have owned for the past 27 years - definitely a keeper, that one!

Welcome Liberator.
This is the Harley section, as you have obviously noticed.
I hope you find many hours of amusement here, maybe the odd bit of useful information.


The people here are the strangest miss-matched bunch of weirdo munktunk's you will ever find.
Though in real life, If you actually meet them face to face, they are the gentlest, kindest, most amiable and helpful characters of this forum .
Don't tell anyone but I feel at home here, "for I am not the sinner who gives, merely the giver of peace.
I shall not force my will upon thee, yet may I guide thee too thy place".

welcome welcome welcome ,how fantastic is that bike ,........me want one

Now then Mr JD, just be thankful for what you have.

allso forgort to ask you dont have any spare leather panniers for that by any chance

I'm in the Cambs Fens, near March - but a "blow-in" from London, so I've got the right number of fingers. Sorry, I don't have any spare leather panniers, and no, the gun's not loaded. Amazingly I've never been pulled by the police for riding with it in the scabbard. They probably think no one would display a weapon so openly if they were ne'er do wells.....

Cheers.

Ohhh, you are one of those all the locals complain about......"Fucking Londoners coming up here and complaining about the countryside and everything else, they think they own the fucking place, well they can fuck off and if I find `em on my land I will shoot the fuckers as look at `em"
And I can actually say I am inclined to agree with them, being a Northerner myself and experiencing a Soft Southern twat on our Parish Council

However.....Welcome.

Mr Att you cuntard.
Do not shoot the fucking pilgrim yet !
Let's see what he has in his pockets first.

I remember one night I was hanging around near astley colliery, down by the canal.
We managed to break into a huge canal barge, I managed to get the engine started ( not reet difficult ) We charged all the way to the hacienda in town.
Had a fucking awesome night.
Poor fucking barge owners.
Sick, cum and fanny batter everywhere.

Ta for the welcome! Rightly or wrongly I don't have a very high opinion of councillors in general - but maybe I've only met the wankers of the species

Amazing what you find digging up the hiways and biways of England.
Much prefer a horde of Saxon gold than an old 45incher.
