Just had my 1st ride on a Harley - SV650.org

What a bag of spanners. I have always wondered what the fascination for Harley Davidsons was all about. My mate has just bought a 1200 Night.... something or other & he let me have a go today.
It shook like it was going to fall apart when it was sat at tickover, that was then transmitted through your body, my lips went numb

On the road you could feel every single pothole & undulation in the road & again that was transmitted through to the rider. At one stage I couldn't see where I was going because of the vibration.
I couldn't see what the big things for Harley was before I had a go on one, now I've ridden one, I still haven't got a clue, what a bag o ****e.

I've heard about the vibey thing before - sounds like a nightmare!

I've often wondered what the attraction is and whilst sailing past one on the twisties yesterday because he couldn't get round the bends faster than 20 mph, I'm still wondering!

The org is well going downhill.

Talking about jailbait in one thread, and this agricultural piece of yank $hite in here. Dear me I'm going back to oldskoolsuzuki....

I think mister c wants one really and he's posted that to see if we laugh at him or not!!?!??

I've ridden a few Hardlys and I can't get on with them. Especially with the stupid "forward controls".

Saying that though, my Dad has ridden his all over europe and the UK, it's been as good as gold for him.

The only reason he has one, well two and this is his excuse, is that he needs a hip replacement and they're the only thing he can ride in relative comfort!!!

WILD LOGS!!

My first ever ride on a bike of any sort was a Harley Dyno thingy lowrider 1340cc.
The owner has since confessed his attraction to Jap bikes, its only taken him 8 years

I hate harleys
