Standard practice, in the car retail trade, now, to accommodate the customer like this. WTF is so precious about Harley that they can't conform?

Cheers, mate! Owe you one.

FWIW, my older Guzzi has had the engine apart once [no significant wear; don't know why I bothered] and one new clutch in about 50, 000 miles. It goes like the clappers, and I hardly ever touch it between yearly services. It's a 1976 750S3. I hope my V11 can live with it!

That's spot-on, and you never undo the head bolts unless you intend taking the head off. Unless you've disturbed the gasket, just check the clearances as normal.

Will someone vote for me...........I'm going to sulk if I don't get ONE lousy vote! I actually voted for someone else..............I won't do that again. Reciprocate, please, Ryan!

Nogbad, you did the unforgiveable: you refused to play the Harley game. Harley Davidson as a company increasingly resembles Macdonalds, it seems to me. I'm not knocking the bikes, just the way they're retailed.

Wow! This is better than the tent thread by a LONG way. What's in YOUR gun-rack, TX?

Damn! That's what I always get told.

I think we're just normal, Ralph, but if people would prefer, I could post an additional photo of my cock............some people are poultry fanciers, I know.

This thread began badly, and it now looks like a page from the "Happy Camper" catalogue. Someone post a message about guns, quick and then any guest who happens to fetch up here will at least think we're survivalists!

That's Daisy Duke, surely?

No, I wasn't talking about you, Ben. I was hoping you could help someone else on this thread. Yes, let's have a poll. I like polls.

Ben, does your stuff do anything for total sense of humour failure?

What are you taking, Ben? Can you send me some?

Stay in a hotel: you can have a free shower you won't freeze you'll sleep you can eat properly if you get lucky, only the person in the next room can hear you your bike won't look like a refuse wagon for the duration of the trip, and you can ride accordingly you WON'T want to go home at the end of the trip ....and all for the price of a cheap sleeping bag! Have fun...............

What more d'you want?

It's on yer avatar's 'ed, mate!

Ryan, you're a bad person.......

No, they're something else. A good clue is they don't have framed certificates.

We're down to mooses and pirates, now, on the GW thread. This is fresh stuff. I like it. We could use it!

I don't do Ebay, for all sorts of reasons it would be boring to repeat here, but I would like to buy a pair of your carbon sidepanels and I live in France. What can you do for me? Bob

It's part of what endears you to France, eh Ben?

Hey, we're NOT anti-gay, here. The Banana Bar sounds, er, delightful......

I couldn't watch it, I really couldn't. I haven't eaten yet.

Er, you OK, Nog?
