As I had a free afternoon, I took a run down to the Harley Davidson open weekend at Charing X Glasgow.
I took a big un for a test drive, could not tell you which one.
I enjoyed the experience but suspect the seating position is a bit like how a woman lies to give birth.
I did confess when I got back to showroom that I did not think I was old enough to own one yet.
(I passed my bike test in 1969)

Buying an HD is obviously a lifestyle choice, You need the his&her's clothes, boots etc.

This was my first time on an HD and I reckon that I have now driven bikes from all the mainstream manufacturers.
They are open again tomorrow but I suspect the weather will be a lot wetter.
PS all the poor girls (and women) had to wear a certain style of vest shirt.
If it is colder tomorrow, there will be no problems about where to hang your jackets boys.

Ha ha!

Been here a few times as mate lives right next to it. Their local is the Bon Accord and I have to say they're a pretty friendly bunch.

Good pub btw, for real ale and food.

I really really do not fancy an HD, for the bike or the style! Maybe in 30yrs.

Just remember you also need a goatee / pony tail and join the local " Chapter "

Even if you were that way inclined, you'd just get a thunderbird or something.

Don't see the attraction of HD at all

Go to yin of their open days an have a wee shot! I never got the HD thing till I cruised down GW Road on a FatBoy. Great fun. Just the price - £15k put me off a little!

An yeah I would probably buy a Thunderbird as well!
