Hi all, i've been checking out this site for 9 odd mths now and thought i better say hello... i live in Nelson, New Zealand and brought the first 05 865 speedmaster in the south island from Thunderbike, had to wait 4 mths for the shipment to arrive from England... winter's just hitting in with our 1st polar blast, great for the snow fields, not for the farmers... about 10 odd speedies and america's around this region but must be 1000 odd harley's... on a high today as i just picked up my bike with a new set of cams and head work, made a big difference to top end power...

All Harley's are odd.

Sorry - just had to add some more mind-numbing, time wasting crap. Trying to get my post numbers up before I get bored and leave.

And John..."get bored and leave"???!!!

Just as Rick told Elsa in "Casablanca" that "we'll always have Paris"(I'm NOT talkin' Hilton here, of course)...well...we'll ALWAYS have Harley bashing AROUND HERE!!! And so, I gotta ask you....WHAT'S TO EVER GET "BORED" ABOUT, DUDE???!!!


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
