Victory was TOO good..

#1 Post by Willopotomas » 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. :smt005

So, I'll be waving as you all pass me while I'm waiting for rescue. :smt006

Don't be daft Gio - whoever heard of stabilisers on a tractor? :smt016

The reason?
