Harleys are easy to work on at home. That'd explain why Pisshead is always working on his! Nev.. '07 XB12X

Well, in Pete's defense, it does appear like those "they" bastards put a Harley drive belt on the floor and built a whole trike around it. regards, CrazyCam

When you say "you MUST use OUR spelling, because > its OURS", what is that if not a statement of implied superiority? You confuse superiority with difference. >As > for the bigotry, look no further than your supporting criticisms that it > is preferable because it is NOT the spelling used by a certain other > culture. I am all for keeping Aus spelling so that we can remain different to the other culture(s). There is no superiority involved, just a desire to not end up in a planet wide beige culture, possibly dictated by others. SteveB

The problem with petes trike isn't that it isn't easy to work on the bike, it's just that the trike is in the way of the bike :) G-S

Logical > inconsistency there mate. The difference between an electra-glide ultra classic and a typical ape hanger custom harley is much greater than the difference between the look of your average 1%er and your average HOG member. That doesn't seem inconsistent to me *shrug*. > JL > (besides I know at least one 1%er who has a full dress hogly (dunno > the exact model) in his stable ) Really? Older guy perhaps? Multiple Harleys? OK... but that probably only means he's less likely to be refused when he's supposed to be refused (which is problem no 2 with this proposed regulation) :) G-S |
