Victory was TOO good..
Posted: Tue Nov 22, 2016 9:23 pm
Will's never ending (it seems) turn round of bikes continues. This time, the Victory has been sold on and a replacement in the form of a Harley Davidson has been sourced.
The reason? The Victory was too damn reliable and jam-packed full of electronicy thingys. Take bike out, ride, but bike away.. Repeat until bored. Which I became of if. Don't get me wrong, the bike itself is brilliant and does everything that's asked of it.. Which is where my problem lies. I like to tinker around and personalise my steeds. Even with the Aprilias, I was able to fart around to an extent where I didn't need to plug a laptop into them to clear a fault. The Victory didn't offer me any real scope of customisation. A Harley however, will. No fancy electronic gizmos, proper carb and pre-unit construction.. Right up my ally. Should've done this in the first place, but I was trying to resist.. Turns out my penchant for leaking old unreliable bikes is just too strong to break.
So, I'll be waving as you all pass me while I'm waiting for rescue.
