Advice: I am seriously considering buy a Harley Davidson
-
<p>This is basically it. I want a bike to cruise on the weekends and perhaps use for work. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't have a compensation issue. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't have a beer gut yet. I like wanky IPAs but Im not in a club for craft beer drinkers.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The mrs will likely sit on the back at some stage but I'd imagine we'd be going "2 miles an hour so everybody see's me" and not very often.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Parts for the HQ were a cnt to get in good cond. I spent far too much and the end result was good but I want something ready to go but if it does fall apart I can afford to get it up an going again.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am embracing the weather and the lifestyle, Im not interested in getting sleeved up and getting a spray on tan so I go down surfers and stand by my bike in my bikie nike's, telling every chick that walks past shes a slut dying for my cck while I proceed to adjust my comb over(with my barbers initials cared into the side) in the side mirrors.</p> -
<p>Go for it Raz</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm not a biker but lots of my family are and they love it. Glassed over eyes when trying to explain that all life's troubles melt away when on the bike - pure bliss they say</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Is it feasible to hire for a bit to see if it sticks?</p> -

<p>This is what an actual Italian-Samoan looks like:</p>

<p>I have no idea how I know about this guy who is the WWE champion - did I read it on the Fern WWE thread?</p>

<p>Looks a bit like Mitch Johnson on roids.</p> -
<p>do it.. couple of my mates have harleys.. one wrote off his first one pretty quickly and avoided a new one for a couple of years (then hid new purchase at workshop from wife for 6 months)..</p>
<p> </p>
<p>other mate sounds exactly like you. He's had this about 4 months now and loves it, rides it to work etc. Nice bike, and not a w@nky 'look at me' harley. he test rode about a million different bike styles, changed his mind a hundred times and always came back to what he wanted. test drove the one below and it was the one for him.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>has a trail / crossover bike as his daily ride, sold his jetski to fund this...</p>

<p>I've got two mates with these, they love them but they're aren't the boulevard cruiser sort of harley you want I guess.</p>

<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote">I got smoked by a guy on a Buell in the tight mountain curves of Colorado about 5 years ago.<br><br>
Seriously.<br><br>
I was impressed.<br><br>
The low centre of gravity on the Buell, especially the rare Carbon Fiber Edition can make it a formidable opponent in the curves.<br><br>
I was so pissed, I took my mountain bike home and went looking for the dude on my motorcycle, but he was gone by the time I got back there.</blockquote> -

<p>I'm not a biker (yet) but if I was, this is the exact bike I would get. Absolutely love the stance of it. Sensational.</p> -
<p>With all the stuff around my solar/battery system, I googled "electric motorbike" thinking there'd be a few dud machines out there for hipsters.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Instead I found this:</p>

<p><a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/au/'>http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/au/</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>And this review:</p>

<p>Never, EVER going to tour on one of those things, given the charging times, but jeez the potential is big as the tech advances.</p> -

Pussy, a real anteater would have just gone out and bought one by now!

<p>I think to many people are retards... ans even more so behind the wheel. I dont like putting my life in thier hands any more than I have to. Not much use your final thoughts as you get killed being 'it wasnt my fault!!'</p>

<p>Are you my WT cousin? She puts about 15 posts per day on FB (no exaggeration) of this sort of shit about motorbike riders. For the most part I ignore it, but every now and again I bite on the posts which say they are better parents as their kids ride motorbikes.</p>
