That is without doubt the gayest Harley I have ever seen.

I like the black frame and forks to, if it was a car they would say it had been Murdered Out, meaning everything blacked out.

Had my Hornet serviced up at Damerells today. Could have done it myself or had it done at an independent but I like having the Honda FSH. Also having come off a night shift I needed a breakfast. I like that they do what is coming on for a healthy option. I waited while they did my bike so had a mooch around the showroom. They always seem to have an interesting selection of bikes. I do like the HRC colour scheme, looks the mutts nuts IMHO. 17k All the Hornets Lovely VFR Pretty stuff Love this colour scheme. Playa Black. Not sure I fancy bike but I do like the way it looks. New Classic 350 Goan, very striking in the flesh My mate at work is thinking of trading his NC750 X for one of these NX 500s. Cool Daytona 660. Monster. Allsorts of other stuff including a really nice V-Rod but I only focused on the stuff I like.

Well 500 miles in I am well pleased with the Scottoiler. I normally clean and lube the chain every 400/500 miles as that seems to be the sweet spot for the CBF. So went out to check and maybe do just that this morning and don’t need to. The chain is still in adjustment and pretty clean and well lubricated. I have washed the bike in the interim but the fling doesn’t seem too bad, definitely no worse than using normal chain lube. I did have to modify the way I wired the oiler in as it was switched with the ignition and well that obviously worked, I then had to turn the Oiler on every time I rode. It’s supposed to work automatically every time the bike moves so I had to change it to being wired directly to the battery. No big deal and with that done it works seamlessly now and supposedly causes minimal draw on the battery. I am genuinely well pleased with the results, I was very skeptical about auto lubers after the disaster I narrowly avoided with the Lubeman POS oiler. In the meantime a very generous chap has sent me this for my Hornet. It’s the top of the range Scottoiler with screen and remote controls. I am having the Hornet serviced at the main dealers next week, after that I am going to fit this eSystem to it. Very cool bit of functional kit. Looking forward to it.

You won’t last that long way to tightly wrapped.

Try reading the article about how Ducati V twins dominated World Superbikes for years.

Snitches get stitches rainbow drawers.

Its better than what we had before and pretty clear. First half of the year is the year itself and the second half is plus 50. So this year is 25 and 75.

indicates year of registration. 73 plate is the second haif of 2023

Oh dear is that really the best you have

Yes that's what they wanted to charge me for auto renewal and why the thread is titled Robbing Barstewards

Vance and Hines isn't that code for Harley/Triumph tax. Spendy shit for shiny bikes.

I don't pay Euros FFS. My policy was £165. Oh and I don't finance anything with the exception of my house but almost everybody has to do that

I don't really know, not much of a problem where I live but is a problem in more densely populated areas of the UK. Also Britain is way more densely populated in general than Canada I would guess.

Market value pre agreed as far as I know. £5200 for the bike this year. Less excess of course.

That was weak, you feeling okay

Spider?

Does it have a skull and crossbones or a Screaming Eagle on it?

I know it's never a surprise as they do it every year but it doesn't hurt to call the robbing barstewards out. Bennetts fully comp renewal for my 73 plate Hornet CB750 £454.00 Hastings Direct for the same cover £165.00. I called Bennetts to cancel the renewal and they gave me a new quote of £365. Just seems a strange way to go about their business.

Do ya like it or no Bob?

Don't go wanking yourself into a foam over her she is a Lezzer and won't be interested. Hell of a rugby player though.
