Harley Davidson Motorcycles Are A Great Bike To Ride

Posted by Mark Lawton on 30 Jun 2009 | Tagged as: Alcoholic drinks, Hobbies, Ideas in and around the home, Motorcycling, Motoring

I love this bike, the Harley Davidson 1200 Sportster, low.

At present I have a 1987 Low Sportster 1200, but one day I would like one of these.

I am not a speed freak now, so I am tor between the 883 for economy, or the 1200, for a bit more grunt!

The only thing I’ll knock my bike for seriously is the tiny tank.

Improvements on the new models are fuel injection, belt drive, and a somewhat bigger tank.

For now I’ll dream on, but at leat I am actually riding a Harley!

My bike is featured here; While you are there check out my cousins great site, www.motor-cycles-for-sale.com

If you don’t want to go there, and instead you want to miss out on great accessories, OEM motorcycle spares, brand new Apache quad bikes, some of which are road legal, and all manner of motorcycle stuff, then just click on my bike below twice to see it larger!

I do advise you to have a look at my cousins site, because I regularly order Profi Dry Chain Lube, and Profi Fuel Max to make my bike run smooth.

I also order my Iridium spark plugs from him as well.

The spark plugs are really great, and my Harley starts 1st time every time now; but before it was a game to start it. In fact it starts so good that you barely hear the starter before it is away!

Now that has got to benefit your battery and starter every time; and it keeps your ego intact when onlookers admire your Harley!
