• Everytime I start looking at Harleys I think to myself "Have you put a bit of weight on recently?"

  • Yes I have!!
    Actually the sportster (the older less plastic ones) are quite a good ride- I was shocked how ok it was. It’s fairly similar to my old Hinckley bonnie, good balance, steers ok and svelteish. It’s also quite comfy even at six foot plus and with all the added BMI recently , 260 miles in a day last week was fine.

    However with the bigger bikes I’d probably only countenance a road king (basically an unfaired electraglide style) , I can’t be doing with a lot of their stuff and that probably wouldn’t handle as well.
