Advantages: Location and pose factor. Disadvantages: Inflated prices.
This store has since closed down and the items it stocked can now be purchased from Warrs HarleyDavidson as they owned and ran this venture. They have two branches, one at Mottingham Road south of the river thames and the other branch at the far end of the Kings Road at their motorcycle dealership.
This was a store in the heart of Chelseas KIngs Road and was more a boutique than a motorbike clothing shop.
It had both clothes, shoes/boots and accessories in stock.
It fitted in with the clientele of Chelsea as they liked the Harley image without having to own the bike. I am a life member of HOG (Harley Owners Group) and I shopped there occasionally but prefered the atmosphere of the dealership further down the Kings Road.
The prices in the boutique are slightly more inflated than the regular dealership prices would be. ...
Advantages: Low cost upgrade from 883 to 1200cc's Disadvantages: none
I purchased a used 1996 H-D 883cc Sporster for $6,000.00 (USD) I then had the engine upgraded to 1200cc's and added a few other relatively inexpensive modifications (hi-flow air breather) for a total cost of less than $900.00 (USD), I then added a larger gas tank (previous 2.2 gal to 3.4 gal), and put metal HarleyDavidson lettering on tank (no decals). For all relative purchases I now have a 1996 frame on a brand new engine. A used 1996 1200cc Sporster would have cost at least $9,000.00--so I saved alot of money and got a much faster and better running custom engine, and was able to add a few more custom modifications with all of the money I saved.My bike is much faster and sounds better than any new or used stock factory direct 1200cc Sporster. The bike looks great via the no decals work on the tank. If you have a new tank put ...
Advantages: looks the TDB (the Dogs B**lox Disadvantages: high speed handling
This is a review of a HarleyDavidson Dyna Wide glide - Bought second hand at a cost of £7000
Good second hand Harleys at a reasonable price are hard to comeby after many phone calls and visits to Harley dealerships i finally found this one in Chorley Lancs in of all places a Yamaha dealer - It had been well looked after by the previous owner and was in mint condition
I have now sold the bike and got what a paid for it a year earlier . HarleyDavidsons hold their value extremely well and are very sought after
HOG - Harley Owners Group the HOG is a dealership sponsored club for Harley owners and they meet up for regular rideouts and have organised events if your into that sort of thing
I found a few of the members a bit eliteist and have the attitude that Harleys are the only bike worth buying
Looks - are probably ...
