I pointed it out to you at the time, and you ignored it, as ever. I
simply can't be arsed to trawl through reams of your imbecilities in
search of a particular one.

But I'll cut you come slack and take it as corrected now, because I'm
kind like that.

Unfortunately it is just an accurate description of how you are
acting. When you get like this there is no discussing anything with
you.

And I will just chalk it up to one of the many unsupported accusations
you have made.

Except that it seems a good number of used Harleys continue advertising
at their exceptionally high price without moving, which tells me that
more often than not there is a lot of speculation by sellers, wanting to
sell for more than what the market will bear.

I'm not saying that they should not command a higher resale (at least
here is US, where they are more plentiful than elsewhere). People have
an inflated image on what "their Harley" is worth. At the right price,
anything sells reasonably quickly.

Every time you've decided to pick an argument you've been embarrassed,
so count yourself lucky this time :-))

Don: "Real news means agencies like Reuters and AP! Twitter isn't a
valid news source!"

TOG: "The agencies you cite use Twitter."

Don: (Silence)

Don: "That isn't a motorcycle shop. It's a car shop. I have deduced that
from the web page. It's a car shop with a training school."

TOG: "Click the banner on the web page. Lo! It's a motorcycle shop."

Don: (Silence)

TOG: "This is a Harley touring bike."

Don: "No, it isn't! No it isn't!"

TOG: "Harley specifically extols its touring capabilities in its own
promotional material."

Don: (Silence)

(And other too numerous to mention)

I'm doing you a favour this time. Really. You can whine and squeal and
stamp your little foot about an unsupported accusation without being
made to look silly again.
