Ian the miss quote just the way I wright stuff down not ment that way, as for the jap cruser it stays not directed at you in any way just the way it is thay are a rip off of a harley thay should stick to what thay are good at sports bikes . Everybody knocks harleys butr when harley riders have a go back its not liked
GT's absolutely right. The side stands on Harleys are extremely strong and I've never heard of one giving way.
The way they have a habit of rocking forward slightly on them is very, very disconcerting to those that have never witnessed it before, but it is perfectly normal ... for some odd reason lol!
So don't worry Katie, nowt wrong with your bike. Well ... apart from it being a Harley (I'M JOKING, I'M JOKING) lol
Woooohooooooooo I love a healthy debate . Thank you all very much for your comments:
Ian: saw your bike at Skegness and it is a stunner , jap cruisers are heavy, my Suzuki intruder 1500 was 324 kgs, my Road King is 348 kgs eeeek
JPharley: you are spot on mate - Harley riders constantly take jibes on the chin and we rarely bite back ( I make sure my teeth are freshly sharpened when I do though ) Good to here it ok and just mine.
Greasy Tony: thanks as always for your input, invaluable as ever. Glad you happy for Bossmom and I to share you - was happening anyway lol must be lovely to be in demand
Bossmom, I concede that you got Tony our Harley Guru first but as Tony says can we share his awesomeness (will his head still fit into his lid lol) do we have joint custody of him?
Geoff: it is really disconcerting and I nearly have a stroke each time it happens. I'm sure I will get used to it
Littlechick: was there a point to your posts
just for the record one of the best days rides ive had was on a harley road king funnily enough
id get one but a/ cant afford one b/ i cant get used to them odd thread sizes and yes the one i rode did rock on its side stand too it made me think i was dropping it and panic coz it were not mine !
a healthy debate is a good debate, JP if the comment was not aimed at me and my plastic cruiser eh hem i mean bike lol, then i apologise, it just come across that way i just wanted to get across i didnt say trade it in for a jap cruiser lol, and i defo dont want bobkats knashers at me....or do i lol , anyway all sorted now .
i never back peddle wn but i can moon walk just trying to keep the peace and not carry it on !!! and at the end of the day its each to there own but it was just about katies side stand, as i love some harleys too !! but i wouldnt change one for mine at the min !!!!
