New Year's Day and with the weather as good as it gets in the British winter I managed to find a spare hour before my sister and her family were due to visit.

Nice day you had down south, Keith. It has been dull and damp here in Anglesey but I got in my last ride of the year in yesterday so not so bad.
Happy New Year.

I'm not really up to speed with the UK market for used Harleys but it's rare here to see one being ridden by anyone under 60 years of age, so they need to broaden their appeal before their customer base literally dies off.

When I went to the UK Motorcycle Show in November I had a demo ride on an Indian Scout Bobber. That was a pleasant experience but I'd have to be very rich before buying something that impractical. The rear mudguard is so short that organisers were making everyone who rode that bike wear a fluorescent vest to keep the spray from the wet roads off the jackets they were loaning.

I heard that 85% of all Harleys ever made are still on the road.


The other 15% made it home.:laugh:

A motorbike will give you the opportunity to see all the area in a couple of days or so then you can go back later with your mountain bike to specific places. I've been a voluntary National Park Warden for 55 years so know it pretty well. Came up here in 1962 with RAF Mountain Rescue.
