Love that

I've heard many names for our brethren north of the border but that's a new one on me!

Harley and a Fat Gut, at least they got that correct

Having a Harley on the side of a C1 would be an insult to the C1

They say never ride your heroes and for years I dreamed of riding a Harley. One day I got my wish.

I was so disappointed. It was like riding a road drill

It was absolutely awful...

At the time I was riding a Suzuki GT550. Those two-stroke triples were so silky smooth and comfy... Two things the Harley definitely wasn't...

I used to have a sticker on the tank of my Fireblade that said 'I'd rather push a Honda than ride a Harley"..

Hateful devices. Rode a couple in the past, it's like riding a park bench, but with worse handling.

That brings back some very happy memories Neil

Love it in yellow...

That's an early one with the twin leading shoe front brake.. They were far better than the later *(lethal) disc brake...

Mine was black with gold pin striping and was a 1976 model.. The J on the end of the model name is the model year but I can't recall now how it went. As soon as I'm home I can consult my book of Suzuki bike history...

One bike I still want to own one day along with a Citroen SM is the Suzuki RE5, the Wankel engine bike...

Go on Jim, wallow in a bit of nostalgia....if it looked anything like this you should have kept it!

Now that is exactly what mine looked like Neil

Almost as clean too as I spent out and bought all new chrome for it...

Their big Achilles heel was the hard-chromed alloy cylinder barrels. The least 'nip-up' (still common then on big two-strokes if really caned) would wreck the cylinder...

I'd have another in a heartbeat...

I have room in my workshop...

He will start charging me £100 an hour for my clutch job [emoji49] [emoji23]

You could always treat me to it as a present for doing your clutch Davie
