Is motorcycling allowed?

Geez, How do you do that?

 

I thought of stopping but by the time the thought had crystallized in my head, I thought it was too much bother. I did wave oncoming traffic down though. It was my teeny contribution.

I generally just ease them across the road with a stick or a bike glove....off my hand! I have always found that they move off with out much drama, the bigger ones that is. Smaller ones can be a bit feisty! I have stopped traffic on the R328 for a large tortoise to cross. Just after Robinsons Pass northbound a rather big fellow was lumbering across the road. Was nice to see him cross safely.

How many of you have bought your bikes on Gumtree?

 

Having a heated debate RE buying on Gumtree by taking my neighbour with me who has been working on bikes since his teens and has built up a couple of HD's over the years to help look at a Gumtree bike vs buying from a dealership which she thinks is the logical thing to do.

Hairy, got a bike yet? Seen this one on Facebook just now.

Many will argue that it is not a true Harley. I test rode one for my son in law before he got his sporty. Pleasantly surprised but hell it was small. But then I am 6 foot 3.

Remember also that there are differences between the 750 Street vs 750 Street Rod. I’d choose the latter every day.

not long ago HD CT were selling brand new street rods for 75K ex. reg fees and admin

[IceCreamMan]

Can’t get the 750 here anymore. Discontinued.

 

Don’t know if still available anywhere

[Hairy]

Called HD now...the special is not at 75K and they are back to 90K with 4K on the road fees

 

Edit ..sorry ... Street Rod.

Excellent price that. Wow.

 

10500 here. I bought a year old model for8250 iirc. Now worth more than I bought it for due to being discontinued here.

I remember this was offered to me as well.

It will be worth your while to check out We Buy Cars... They have sometimes priced the HD 750 Street Rod as if it were a 750 Street, I promise you I’ve seen it... So keep in mind if you are interested

Been looking thanks

 

I saw a guy on a flipping awesome vivid black 2010 Fat Bob the other day ... so I followed him and chatted to him at the petrol station ... a Texan who recently had just bought his bike from a We Buy Cars agent in JHB ... thing was pristine, 10K on the clock and he paid 81K for the bike.

It's just a snake .A stick or branch and as Spokey says just ease them off the road .They don't need much encouragement .
