For reasons unbeknown to me i have had zero access on here for what seems like months now

I have owned a Hardley Dangerous and have been in an S&S powered Morgan. Loved my Harley to bits but out of the crate it needs to breathe better- if i wanted that option i’d be parting with £1000+ so i parted with the bike.

Interestingly the Smith engines are better described as stoked, rev more yes, more power yes, still a big V twin thumper yes.

Be wise and buy a used HD with a Stage 2 kit on it and ignore the shiny stuff from mid market resellers.


Want more power and Harley sound/feel... but a Buell.

I've ridden a Buell, quite a lot as dad owned one for quite a while, but not what I'm after

I thought I would love the laid back cruiser style after years hunching for clipons but in reality after an hour sitting on my tail bone I realised it’s not for me. The yammy viagra has gone. That Indian shop at Orrell is worth a trip.

Ps I’ve had forum issues too. Broken links on Russian tinder ?

Yeah, not a bad one. Too much for my 'in about 10 years imaginary budget', lol, but a few things I'd swap.. couldn't have spoked wheels, I prefer the look of alloys and hate cleaning spokes, lol
