Call me a "born again", a "fair weather biker" even a "BOG" (boring old git to my daughter) but I cannot conjure the enthusiasm to raise a snail, in favour of the new Harley. It had to go back. Yes it was a head turner, particularly at the seaside, but no, it was not comfy, it was not good on long journeys and no it was not a good replacement for the now aging Triumph. It handled like an elephant (yes I have ridden one) and proffered no defence against the British elements. The controls were not easy to find and it used a lot of juice.

From a tried and tested Triumph and BSA enthusiast - take care!
