    no prob my doors open to anyone that is into bikes
    if you were riding in the 70s 80s harleys british ect an around clubs or in one we did have to punch on sometimes an sometimes with the cops too it was an example of wat or i should say how alot of clubs got the bad boy image flogging heap big footy players ect ect then gettin outta the pub an then gettin fucked over by the cops .yup im in a club but cant ride anymore but still got a few bikes stashed away just incase they find a miricle someday .i spose the bad boy image is when an not these days the blokes that had harleys were mainly M/C members an they wore old shitty clothes lol i still do bein a pensioner lol there was always good looking women around as well so the lock up ya daughters an rough an ready image was made by the blokes that rode harleys not the harley it didnt make the blokes bad ect if ya get my droft sorry if i dont get wat i mean on this comp thingy i have probs typin wat i mean in the right context .fuck footballers i used to play yrs ago in penrith an give it away bikes broads n booze was way more fun than bustin ya ass training lol besides its all money now too same as harley times have changed so much an every day i wish i could go back to the 70s but oh well atleast i can still work on 70s bikes .these days the gumbyment is wrappin most in cottonwool an the control factor is beyond a joke my sons both sit an listen to me an some the mates tell stories of yrs past those days wont happen again for my boys if it did it would make em better men than they are now much more respect an loyalty not like now punks playin ganster an old ppl gettin bashed n robbed for 30cents the worlds turned to shit an because the mighty dollar rules so is the quality of the bikes we buy

    Alfred Rich Child, urged the Milwaukee company to built a factory in Shinagawa, Tokyo. The new venture was called 'HD Company of Japan,' and the first model produced at the new facility was the 'Model VFE,' with the 'V' indicating its Far East origin.

    there ya go

    It was
    USA as in "oosa"

    it was named so they could still brand products "Made in USA" without it being claimed as false advertising
    You can tell the difference by
    the American made will be "made in U.S.A."
    the Japanese will be "made in USA" no fullstops.

    the more people that ride Harleys the better imo ....maybe most of them might actually get it ffs and get on board the freedom train


    its a hard thing not to judge another ,who are we to deprive or rebuke the rights and freedom of anyone

    dinosaurs once ruled the earth and in the end it will be ruled by bugs

    such is life

    As far as I see it, each set has there stereotype, from new boy racers, to midlife bikers, in the end if you ride, you ride, and it shouldn't matter what. I pull out the CT110 and go for a burl any chance I get, I ride with Duc's, Guzzi's, Hondas, Yami's anyone and anything. Who cares what you ride or who you want to be, so long as your a stand up bloke/Sheila who talks the truth about yourself. If not, well then enjoy your ride, but not with me.
