Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.
Being brave is coming home at 2am half drunk, smelling of perfume, climbing into bed, slapping the wife on the arse and saying,"right fatty, you're next!!"

May I introduce to a former family member? Rescued from the axe by my fathers very own hands..
Nice
And might well be, was something about a Stearman club or so IIRC

...or were me. None of the above - just following the family tradition!
Me old dad always said that he'd never buy "Jap Crap" and that has passed on to me. Who wants a bike that is fast, handles well, stops superbly, is well built, is relatively inexpensive and looks nice? Not me! I'll take a clattering old warhorse like a Harley (which I always view as the 2 wheeled version of my basic old Landy). Handles badly, stops eventually and doesn't go fast enough to kill anything (especially me!).
No comparison between modern bikes and Harleys (which I view as being 2 completely different beasts). I ride my Harley because I love it, I love the chrome, the black paint, the noise, the riding position and the feel of it. I don't ride fast (the Harley won't let me and I've never been a speed freak)
I just do my own thing, I don't mix with the other Harley riders (too much facial hair and way too much lording it over any other make of bike, and too many accountants in the midst of a midlife crisis )
Riding a bike is meant to be fun. End of.
I love riding mine.
Harleys are not for everyone, but my God they are for me!
not being too personal but were we seperated at birth? Harleys & Landys etc!
i cant disagree with one thing you've just said!
My old 'Iron was a b!tch bar steward, satin (not matt for once!) black with a twin filler tank, +6 deg yokes, 2" overs, mid-bob rear guard, hammerite black with red detailing wheels and the crowning glory was the twin '59 Cadillac tail lights!
If I find a photo and am brave enough I'll post it!
It was a FCUKIN DOG tho!

As this is the latest cars topic: This morning, as I walked the dog all of a sudden I saw this:
A bunch of well camouflaged pre-production test cars. Probably the new Jaguar S-type, as they were being followed by an XKR and had UK number plates. Looked rather good if I may say so. Shame I was so shocked to see this in the centre of Antwerp that I couldn't even move as to reach for my telephone/camera

hang around if you can and get some pictures, then sell them to a motor magazine, you'll get a few bob out of it!

Thought they'd given up on that! I'll try to think of that next time then! I do have some home made death valley spy pics of an early nineties Merc somewhere, if anyone's interested They were probably heading for Ford test grounds in Lommel, which isn't too far away...
