It certainly shows why the Triumph Bonneville was so popular in the US back in the Seventies The Harley's shown are like the ball in a pinball machine - only changing direction when they hit something!

Nothing wrong with old Harley Davidsons! My old ironhead only tried to kill me once (my fault for trying to ride it round a bend) but the open carb did spray my knee with petrol every time I blipped the throttle. I only cuaght fire once though

My old Softail ('00) is closing on 160K km on the odo and has been ridden all over North America. Always got me home, even in '05 after being rear-ended by a Ducati Monster while making a signalled left turn on a country road. (I bounced, but the Ducati guy, a welder, was off work for 6 weeks). Harleys are tough bikes.

I had about 19 years on my hard tail, I'm still searching for the fountain of youth. Once found, I will get another bike
