Not as good as a Bee M
...........only kidding but now that I've got your attention...
After almost 40 years of riding bikes I've finally taken the plunge an bought a Harley. You Yorkshire folk seem pretty active so I'll keep an eye out for when you meet and if you see a guy on a blue and white Road King looking a bit bemused by everything that'll me so please come over say hello.
Look forward to meeting up,
Ian

Welcome. I think you'll find the Yorkshire lads a friendly bunch.

Hi Ian
you're probably right it's not as good as a BMW but it's got a soul. It looks great, too. Nice colours and nice tank badge. Hope you're enjoying it. You can enjoy cleaning it now, after Sunday.

I called in at Planet Wash on the way home. £2 and it's spick and span again. Ride home to dry it and put it away no worries.

yes mate the old boxer was a good bike
but no sole no grin factor???
you can pick up a old BM very cheap and a good buy
try and get a big twin cheap not easy if not impossible
ive had BMs great bike but i think the harley has the edge
no its far from perfect ,BUT its alive and it makes you feel good
i love the thing

Had 5 Beemers over the years. The best one was the 90/S. That was a BM with soul. A bike I would like to own again.

Re: Not as good as a Bee M
Well you have hit the nail on the head. The GS was really "nice" but I couldn't stop grinning when I arrived home on Sunday. Now that hasn't happened since I had my Bonneville and that was a few miles ago.
