Is that not just a factory option?

I think I'd quite like a Harley one day, not that one tho'.

The only time I rode one was when I was too young to appreciate it for what it was, I was all about sports bikes back then and the Night Train or whatever it was I had a go one was rubbish at going fast.

I don't think I'll ever be old enough for a Hardly. Luck will get you home?

Nice T-shirt.

I've ridden two so far. I'd have another go on one, but only really for amusement purposes.

It's very 1976, I haven't seen a gold metal flake bike in a very long time, and would be quite happy not to have seen this, but weirdly there's also something about it I like, it's tasteless enough to annoy the Harley crowd.

You were doing so well until the second comma.

It's growing on me, if it had some rear shocks and a flat track seat I'd say it was nice.

probably looks better in the flesh (and the bike), but nah, I'm out.

I suppose when you're riding it you don't notice the gopping looks, but it would be challenging knowing that everywhere you go on it every male over the age of 12yrs old that glances in your direction will just think you're a wanker.

The rear brake pedal is tolerable.
