Title: Purchased a Harley Davidson
Post by: JohnoJ on July 23, 2013, 10:17:05 PM: Hello all What a great time I have had with my ST1100 . Met some great people and travelled a lot of roads.
I made a good decision after reading a lot of forums and purchased a new Harley. Picked it up last Monday
It is 2013 Harley Switchback Ember Red. Beautiful colour. It has a windscreen and rear panniers. 103cubic inch motor and I have added the Vance & Hines exhaust to come out on each side. To me it evened the bike up.
Went out riding on Sunday covered 298 km and fuelled up when I got home.
I hope to go riding with Bodie (son) as he has a Harley Night Train.
I am looking at adding my ST to the for sale column. :wht11

Post by: StinkyPete on July 24, 2013, 07:16:34 AM: Hi JohnoJ. I have ridden around Oz with two mates on Harleys, so they can tour. Mind you, one needed a full engine rebuild (just 40k on the clock) when it got home! Congrats on the new bike, and keep on riding.

Never seen such a bold contradiction in so short a sentence. :eek

Sorry about your confusion. Don't sell the ST yet. You'll need it for when the Hardley is in the workshop. :grin
