I have to say that metric V-twin clones are what put Harley in the situation as much as anything else.
Hey, the worst on the golf course is better than the best day in the office.
I'm just saying, none of us would turn down a Harley loaner for a month. I like the bikes.
It's the price/value that's wacky.

and the Australians ... yes. Though it certainly doesn't hold true across the board, you can get a pretty clear picture from most posters just where they've come from. (insert witty self-deprecating humor that surpasses my regionally acquired humor here )

You're up late on a school night - flag waving and all! Rob got Timmy Taylors on 
Site mainly populated by North American, Antipodean and British although some exteamly valuable input from mainland Europe. Great stuff, might not agree with what everyone is saying (and I am sure not everyone agrees with me) but excellent contributions. Thank you one and all!
I see we have moved quickly into Hardley bashing, though I prefer to call it banter - man I have had pelters this week (since my team got stuffed) that's how we roll in the UK.
