That's a bloody armchair.... now we know you're getting old

Yeah there really is no need for the bullshit, well I got hold of the trade plates place I was at just before I started with thinfords and I'm off to see them tomorrow morning at 10am

Looks good though it doesn't have the clean lines it once did

No I know what you mean mate, I didn't want to as I did quite like the job but when your boss shafts you like that without a hint of thinking he's in the wrong then it's best to cut losses and seek other employment

I got the job through a friends recommendation as he works there too, he didn't think he was like that but is now proper wary of him doing the same to him or his dad. He's going to lose other drivers too if he doesn't buck up his ideas but he probably never will and will keep turning over drivers like hot cakes till the end of time

I think there was a shortage, possibly not so much of a shortage anymore. It was all his way or no way there was zero negotiation with him and I'd been more than lenient with him so his loss

Well that went down like a lead balloon at the yard with the "boss" so I pulled up and before I even get out of the car he's effing and blinding and calling me everything under the sun, saying I'm just there to piss him off and intimidate him, I couldn't get a word in edge ways he was proper red faced with anger and slamming his fists down on anything close enough going on about high blood pressure or some other shit, when I asked him if he thought he was in the right about taking my week's wage without so much as talking to me about it first he said it was his perogative.... er no you need to talk to the person involved before you do that, then he said apparently iv caused 10k damage to the wagon since I've had it..... when asked to come up with exactly what damage he just said the bar on the top sheet was bent and couldn't say anything else. Then I tried to explain to him why I'd taken 2 Mondays off recently and he didn't want to know and he was saying that if I take anymore time off then that's me out of the door.... so I decided to take it out of his hands and I told him to fuck off and cleared my truck out. I'm having the rest of the week off and will be sorting something out at the start of next week. Word of warning don't ever do business with thinford shavings Ltd they are not a a proper business

Well im off up to the yard this morning to have a word with my gaffa seen as he hasn't even attempted to contact me regarding my non payment of wages last week, he didn't contact me about it before he did it I just got to Friday last week and he hadn't paid me, I spoke to sammie who deals with us drivers and she knew nothing about it, on further investigation he told her its because I'd had 2 days holiday over that which I'd accrued. I've sent emails and asked sammie to get him to call me but he just refuses so today is the day I will surprise him at the yard so we can finally get something sorted out, so yeah I guess watch this space it could get interesting seeing as the last time I spoke to him over the phone he's Billy big bollocks but in person his bollocks shrink and he's all nicey nicey.

Well Fuck guess I'm rumbled now eh

I have no idea mate I've not even looked in to it yet

Obviously I wouldn't be comparing it with a busa nothing else is in that league bar the zzr14 or the ninja h2. I'd be comparing it to the street glide special I test rode back in 2019 because that's the only other cruiser I have ridden to compare it to

You want me to go test ride an Indian and give you my unbiased review?

Abit of lead time on them, maybe they were made to order instead of off the shelf

I wondered if it was, how come it doesn't go down the rear like it does on a road bike?

What's that tube for that comes over the top and down the l/h fork leg?

Is that a luggage rack for panniers in the second pic?

I don't see a problem, I'll get some for the wife's Xmas present

The darling??

Well not so sure about the beard thing as I'm usually sporting quite a good beard but the not washing thing is the issue and I'm not so sure I want tassles on my handlebars or to wear assless chaps

Some of you should remember the write up I did after I had the test ride, I was doing it in response to someone wanting an unbiased review so I indulged and then vowed never to ride another harley as long as I lived

It's very light drizzle here... just when I was planning on doing some work on the car.....

It was a 2019 bike, it was a test ride bike and in a straight line no problem but put a corner in its way and try and negotiate it at anything but a walking pace and the boards would ground out with just the smallest whiff of lean angle. Yes the engine had some low down torque but ran out of puff way too fast and it was constantly up and down the box. Not my idea of a fun engaging motorcycle

I have ridden a hardly street glide before and it was horrible so

Fixed for you What makes it sporty? And that's not taking the piss that is a genuine question
