At 10pm on Saturday evening, I got a call off Nobby who is at a four day bike drinking weekend .. sorry ... Rock and Blues event.
He handed his phone to the guy I bought many of my t-shirts from.
This guy is being sued by Harley for a couple of his shirts (funnily enough, not ALL his p*ss taking Harley shirts though).
He's in the High Court *gulp* in a couple of months and was asking me if I could put any info his way.
Does anyone know of the recent link which listed all the faults / recalls that have effected the Harley range?
Also any known faults / problems effecting the running of a Harley?
So far he's spent £17,000 on lawyers and just wants to dig his heels in for the little man.
I'd put a link to his site but some shirts are offensive and might offend a few with the language.
I don't want anyone to purger themself, just known stuff that's already there in the public domain.
John, feel free to nuke this if you want, I just thought I'd ask the question.

Hi Adey - I had a mate in the UK with a brand new deuce - first time he washed it the chrome came off the handle bars.
When he took it back to the dealer they said it was because he had not used Harley Davison brand bike wash! My mate who is not known for his mild temper had a little word with the salesman and explained a few facts of life. The salesman turned a very pale shade of white, annd had his bars re-chromed unnder warranty.
You will find him in the Griffin in Heald Green Sunday lunch time - just ask for Garry (Prince Albert Gary - NOT Garry Two dogs, Gary two dogs knows nothing about Harleys)
Suggested new T shirt design for your mate ...

Let me get this right... He's being sued for his tshirts that make fun of Harley?
You can feel free to PM me the link to his site - I promise not to be offended.

Here's the link to the t-shirt guy. I'm warning you know: SOME OF HIS STUFF MAY BE OFFENSIVE TO SOME PEOPLE It's mostly harmless but he doesn't mind using strong language on some shirts. Don't bleat if you open it and find something you don't like - I warned ya! The guys who have asked,the link is there but I'll PM the main design which Harley took offence to - I think it's pretty funny actually  Garry is a sound guy and works like a trojan to get stuff out to orders and getting gear ready for rallies etc. He even makes one-offs if'n you want one! Nothing is taboo for him!

Wow, he's really worked up. Some of them are pretty funny though.
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

I agree. Some of those got me laughing. Wish him luck with this. HD has lots of high-class lawyers on staff and tons of money to back them up.

OK guys, if'n you MUST see it, go to the link, click on the Union Jack t-shirt to enter and in 'keywords' on the LHS, enter 811.
Obviously it's the Harley one that's the subject.
WARNING: it says the 'F' word so don't go if'n you're some kinda girly wuss who gets offended by swearing. OK?

Or you could view the whole of the American Motorsickle section - click on catagories,select american motorsickles, and then click on the search "torch", put 1 & 25 in the price to - from boxes, sit back and laugh!
He is in trouble over 3 of the designs, 811 is one, can only guess at the others!

Since the shape is that used for US highway signs, that could just as well be a comment on traffic conditions. I think that would make a plausable defense.

Unbelieveable. If Triumphs had the myriad of problems listed here, they would have been out of business in the first year.

Those are some funny shirts.
Cant see how H-D can sue him over this. Hope he beats them. Or at least makes himself a real pain in the harris to them.

Just another reason to further myself from lame a$$ Harley Davidson. I cant believe they are actually spending money to sue someone over that.
