Winter Hack Harley

[dolly3900]

Wotcha.

Seen this on eBay and was considering as a winter hack.

Has anyone got any thoughts on the bike or the source of supply?

Designed to be used and abused by largely untrained squaddies, in a variety of hostile environments, so pretty much bomb proof.

Not the most sophisticated of bikes, but they do what they say on the tin.

Mate of mine had one for the purposes of hacking around London in the Winter - dropped numerous times and never failed to get him home.

The 500 has a bit more grunt, but I believe is kick start only and there's a bit of a knack to it.

Watch out for the 'stealth riding' mode, which consists of a switch that turns off all the lights, including all of the dash lamps; took my mate ages to figure out why none of his lights worked, until I pointed out the mystery switch..........

Kind of want

£2K is big money for a winter hack. It's all relative I guess.

also kinda want though.

A friend had an Armstrong (same basic thing as far as I know); wasn't overly reliable.

And pretty over-priced for what you get - even at the £2k end (note they go up to £4k or so for a good one!).

Good news is that they shouldn't devalue.

If you're the sort that would get a Landrover Defender to drive around London - then this is the bike for you .

Had a 500cc a few years back, seat is very high and LH kickstart is an art to get used to. Frame seems to be made of stock bar rather than tube as it is so heavy. Good fun ride.

Cheers for the insight guys.

Thinking I might just see if I can find a beaten up old 125sm and Chuck some chunkier tyres on it for the dodgy days
