    It goes like this, one of the owners of the Portuguese HD dealership, my friend, used to be superbike champion of Portugal, (so most of his friends are or where on that business), now he rides an Harley Electra Glide, much better than me I must add, but mine where lighter to partly compensate, and every year, up to selling my bike, we would go to Jerez with his friends on race type bikes, you see, a moto GP is not a normal HOG hangout...

    We had great fun showing his friends how wrong they where abouty Harleys going... :MILD:

    See, if you are friendly to me I am also friendly, if you are aggressive, get your helmet ready... ;)

    Actually one day my friend and I got "tangled" with a couple of those, we passed them on our usual sunday morning climb to Cabo da Roca, one of them almost crashed...

    This doesnt mean you couldnt do much better, as I said more experienced riders did beat or keep up with us, even on worst bikes... ;)

    All right Antonio, tell you what.

    I WILL PAY for you to fly over here and hire a Harley of your choice. You can pick the twisty hill, and I am sure Mr P would be happy to take you on.

    If you should win, then you have had a free weekend in a great country and had the chance to listen to some proper hifi. If you lose, you pay me back.

    Simple and open on the forum. What do you say, yes or no?

    How was he in a neck brace, could the chap not turn round?. And also how could you see his eyes if you were passing, he hhad a helmet etc, do you have extra super stable magnifying mirrors.

    I don't know anything about bikes, but a friend of mine who rides and knows a lot about this sort of thing tells me that Harleys are toys and the people who ride them are clueless poseurs.

    I hope somebody finds this information helpful.

    this is getting far too serious for this thread.
    in the spirit of things - which one would kick which ones arse on a lap of silverstone? a sinclair c5 or a segway?
    my money's on the racy c5, the segway is just american wannabe junk - like some other things mentioned recently.
    cheers

    so the only vague performance mods was the S&S carb, Dyna ignition and some aftermarket coils? No internal engine mods???
    Please dont tell me you think Koni shocks are good:rolleyes: as for supertrap, oh dear!

    I have owned both Koni shocks and supertrap exhausts on previous bikes, both offer no performance over standard parts, they are just direct replacement not inteneded to improve.
    I ask you, WTF do you know?
