#29641 erizo (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1469 a possible future convert? 4 Years, 11 Months ago   had a mate come down from england last week on a harley night train. yes, he had problems, but by his own admission they were his own due to 3 days of torrential rain on the way down and a badly relocated electrics box. apart from the starter relay packing up, it ran fine. so we come here to the shop to sort it out. the harley is fitted with an andrews cam, webber carb, v&h shortshots, and is in quite nice fettle. so as i´m wheeling it in, i chuck him the keys for the lardmobile and tell him to take it for a spin. a while later he comes back, dismounts, looks thoughtfully at the roadie, points and says `THAT is what i thought i was getting when i bought the harley´. he loved it! can´t help but thinking that there may be a roadie in his future   Logged     be realistic - demand the impossible!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #29644 RoadieFF (Moderator) Moderator Posts: 2594 Re:a possible future convert? 4 Years, 11 Months ago   Working on my first cup of coffee here so I'm a little slow (more so than usual), got the whole post translated except for one thing.

Good on your mate for seeing the light. ah, sorry guys, i was using english english and a word there that isn´t used that commonly in the last 30 years. dont like to see words go obsolete a bike `in fine fettle´ means running nicely in a good state of tune. ya gotta admit, this place is educational on all counts   Logged     be realistic - demand the impossible!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #29670 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride!
