In uk.rec.motorcycles, Wicked Uncle Nigel amazed us all with this pearl
of wisdom:

I'm surprised he can read at all with all those finger prints he's
dragged across the screen.

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, WavyDavy amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom:

Yeah, a Harley will never go that fast.

 

Taxes increased precipitously after the revolution, you know. But at
least we had representation. Her.

 

I thought Abe-Lincoln refused wages for the President job? Minimalist
state and all that. Did you know that it was an englishman who co-wrote
the Philidelphia constitution that formed the basis of the American
constitution? He used to be a tax collector in Lincolnshire as coincidence
would have it. I believe he fell out of favour and left for France and
it's more egalitarian revolution...

Now what was his name?

Ah yes.

Thom Payne.

 

Thomas, actually. Not bad for a chap that failed out of school.

"These are the times that try men's souls." Still true today.

 

.... where he was imprisoned by Robespierre for voting against the
execution of Louis XVI.

Your anecdotes is the lamest things I've seen in years! LOL

There was a silver car out in the parking lot today leaking coolant.

So for you, that means all silver cars *must* suck huh?

LOL!

 

Next you'll be trying to tell us that most of the white fuckers hanging
about Philly at that time *were* Englishmen. <GASP>

 

You could use an English Composition course at the local college.

 

English-Americans surely?

 

I didn't say they were good sport bikes.
I don't particularly like them.
The horsepower rating isn't really a factor in sport or not.

My personal choice would be a ZZR1200 for a sport/touring bike.
Just something I like about that bike.
I live too far away from anything remotely twisty to worry about pure
sport bikes.

The ZX10 is nice allright.

Maybe.

He did specify big.
That is exactly the market they are going after.
Adventure touring.
Also add in the Suzuki DL1000, Multistrada, KTM etc.
It fits in that group nicely.
As long as it stays in one piece.

 

Is that the best you got? BWAHAHAAA!

Actually, a group of us have been known to do 600 - 800 miles in a day on
some trips. I personally get approximately 270 miles per tank of fuel
(including my reserve, which accounts for approx 30 + miles). Your
knowledge of HD motorcycles seems to be as lacking as your knowledge of your
own country's history....sad, that.

 

Every Harley I've ridden does about 45mpg; less if hammered.

That means either your Harley has a huge aftermarket fuel tank
or you ride at about 45-50mph.

Allowing for stops, etc, to do 800 miles, you'd need to spend 20 hours
in the saddle.

If you manage that, big respect. If you say you go at a decent speed
(say 70-80mph cruise), have a stock tank, and still get 270 miles to a
tank then, frankly, I won't believe it.

BMW riders are prone to this sort of tall story telling, as well.

 

Oi!

 

Do you think that imprisonment without trial is wrong?

 

<check>

 

Right. Go have a ride on an FJR/ST1300 and let us know how you found the
weather protection.
