Nice shot @Sam.
@harley dave I've never gotten on with the Sportsters. I think that my legs are a bit too long to fit comfortably.
That said, the new Roadster looks nice. It's also got upside down forks, and twin discs up front.
Harley seem to be dipping their toe into more performance oriented machines this year. The Lowrider S and CVO Breakout are a starting point, though I doubt they'll be bothering R1s and S1000RRs anytime soon.

Video review of a number of retro bikes: The Moto Guzzi V7, Yamaha XSR 700, Ducati Scrambler, and Triumph Street Twin. It's from a group test by Visordown.

The new collection of Bullitts have arrived in Melbourne.
The candy blue is really nice. It's a deep, clear coat over carbon, which wasn't quite so apparent in the press photos I've seen. If I wasn't going for a matt black bike I'd be tempted.
The Ace Café special edition, ideal for black bikes, and the Scratch. The former is carbon, and quite a lot lighter than the latter. I think that the Scratch looked better in press photos than it does in reality.
With the dark visor in, I look a lot better. And like a '50s spaceman!

I'm not sure what this model is, but it looks very cool!
The new Monster 1200R. It's meant to compete with the likes of the Superduke and S1000R, but I suspect is still a few steps behind. Looks better than them, though.
There was an XDiavel out of its crate this time. It's got a lot of nice detailing on it.
But the way that the hoses that are routed down the back of the forks is somewhat messy.
And, for a change of pace, a Norton Commando. It's a better finished bike than the Thruxton R, but costs 50% more, and is probably less capable.

ok here you go sam , i am now the owner(shortly) of this its a 77 shovelhead kickstart and electric ,he has just got to change the twin tanks as there are from a different model , fit the boxes and period correct rear bars and trim .

Well after last years Fish and Chip meet at Gosport, I was so impressed with the Charity you guys supported (SERV Wessex), I went off and did my advanced motorcycle tests. I did both the iAM and ROSPA. Yesterday I did my first Blood bike run, so now officially a SERV Wessex rider
I have also bought another bike, as we use our own bikes as well as marked bikes. The Harley would not be good for turning up at hospitals in the early hours.
So this is my new ride
its not on its side, by the way.
