More to the point. What were you doing looking for Hardley Fergusons on ebay?

We all know your dirty little secret now.

Ha ha, its true. Mr. Green

I do want a Harley as my next bike,
was just looking for general prices.
I quite like them, not all that panniers crap and all that,
the thin ones, like the sportster (yeah I know bad choice of name)
or a proper chopped Harley,
dead basic with a bloody great set of ape hangers.

I quite fancy the idea of a loud as hell bike,
that doesn't really get much pulling off coppers for the noise.
But something slim enough to filter, 90 MPH is plenty for me,
I have been fast and enjoyed it,
but the chances of getting nicked are a bit high these days.

Once it's done up it will be worth somewhere in the region of £8~9k, thats why people are bidding on it.

I wouldn't even have though of selling it if it were mine.

I'd have just skipped it.

I always wanted a big V-Twin, preferably Harley. That is until I rode one! It rattled & shook and the noise got really annoying really fast. I even got a wet foot from splashes going upwards into the velcro gaps on the back of my boot. Felt like birthing stirrups.

I still love to look at and listen to them but I'm relieved it's not me on them.

The engine is probably worth a fair bit of wedge tho.
