You hear them.....but not at a volume that leaves your ears ringing for days. I wasn't impressed with Gillan! His voice was great but it was like he couldn't be arsed.......no enthusiasm whatsoever! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Nice bit in a newsletter (for the UK). Bike thefts are falling, something we can all raise a glass to, down 2.6% on last year in January-May. And the recovery rate is soaring, with nearly 6000 of just over 9200 bikes recovered (though not necessarily in pristine condition). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Harley boxes are said to be good quality but the fasteners are a bit crap, I am thinking of getting some of the new style extended boxes for mine, if I do I will replace the fasteners with stainless steel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
