Ha, his 'club' makes them look like Tellitubies from the stories I've heard :p

He just rebuilt an 85 Vmax too, have to get some photos of it.

Beautiful bike, and they sound incredible!

Parents' neighbour has a blue one, you can literally feel the vibrations though your body when it goes past!

A good mate of mine's dad is big into his Harleys. Had at least one about him for as long as I remember, his latest he bought new last year I think.

Seems to be a huge social thing based around them, although to be honest I'd buy one just to cruise about on my lonesome if we had regular good weather.

My dad has always had bikes about him, mostly classics or superbikes and a project to tinker with. Old age has caught up now so this is the cruiser but it still goes like stink lol. This is his 2nd Harley after an R plater pulled out infront of him and wiped him out. It had a bit more work done to it though. His wife has a 'newage' Harley too!

And regarding the social thing, we were coming back from the 2014 launch at Belfast Harley and passed a convoy of old school bikes and dad said "theres the posers" lol. Bikes that are only taken out for events and not driven!

He would have the bike out if the clouds part for longer than 3 minutes, but he still goes to all of the biker festivals like Bulldog Bash, etc

Stunning, i've always been a fan of the Deluxe, and wih the Vance and Hines Short Shots i bet it rattles the house. I take it he has a stage one done ? it really frees up the engine.

Not sure but I know the last one had a good bit done to it and when it was totalled he said this one wouldn't be as extreme!

Just looked on my phone as FB blocked in work, do you mean the photos with the sky? I think that's birds in the distance :p The 'spots' are in different positions in each photo

Great looking bike, it would benefit greatly from a Stage 1 kit, the difference it makes to the performance is amazing.
