I do not intend to add anything else to this thread even though it is my thread. I think that Jez has put himself across supremely and displayed himself with great skill.

Apart from aiming it at Audio Al, who you quoted, you obviously "don't get" banter... Enjoy life in the slow lane on your new Massey Ferguson :)
PS try being a central London motorcycle courier for a while and then you will know all about motorcycling at a more then weekend warrior level.
You see, he just never knows when to stop.
Never ridden a Harley.
I personally don't "get" Harley's. An 1800cc V twin producing about 75 BHP seems ludricous to me, but I am happy that you have fulfilled another dream and wish you many hours of enjoyment with your new toy.
Geoff, started my motorcycle days in 1976 riding a Kawasaki two stroke triple but quickly went on to other upgrades. Honda XL250S trailie bike and then a Kawasaki Z550 four cylinder. After that I had a GPz750 and then a GPz1000RX which was astonishingly fast. Then I kind of lost it a bit and went on to owning a few different Ducati's, 750SS, Monster 600, Monster 900 and finally a 907ie. In that time somewhere I also owned an FJ1200 and an FZR600. Last but now not least I bought a VN1500 Kawasaki Harley look alike. At that point I never wanted to ride a bike ever again but throughout all of these years I have always wanted to own a Harley, the iconic bike like no other. So, three weeks ago Sue and I bought one. This will almost certainly be my last ever motorcycle as I have severe osteoarthritis in my left knee which is never going to get any easier. I can still manage the bike OK and gear changing is still OK but I think that within the next few years I shall end my friendship with bikes. I will still have the hi-fi so this will take over with regards to hobbies. At the moment though I am enjoying the fact that I have realised yet another dream on the list.
It must have been the newer model with the 103 engine that I looked at.
Ha Ha. Here's my old one. A tuned 500! My favourite bike ever.

That was about 1981.
