Harley livewire- page says 146 city miles, so probably 100mile range would be more accurate. Weight “in running order” is 251kg, which is ironically probably light for a Harley 😂
Harley are sinking a lot of money into electric bikes at the moment, they're hoping that it'll get them back in the game as their sales have been sliding for years.

Must admit I am rather taken by the MSport coloured one, but what would I do with 200hp sports bike in this country :cry:

Lovely. The Hoghton Tower sprint usually has something along those lines, but its been cancelled the past two years of course. Probably not too far from you that either @Broccers .

I've spent the day wandering down to Brecon/Llandovery today, got a place booked for two nights stay so I can have an explore somewhere other than NWales! Lovely down here, altho the heat was starting to get to me later in the day (Goretex copes up to a point, then its just thick textiles soaking up the heat!) :lol:

Holy crap, they've managed to rescue this years event by the looks of it, usually May time, but its on later this month!

A lot more modern machinery there these days too, to keep numbers up perhaps.

Bought some 1 piece leathers. Initial impressions so much better than my d1 2 piece. Can actually move about on the bike easier.

I'm sad for the employees, but as a business I'm glad they're gone. Terrible company by all accounts.

Apparently my GSXR is now a Retro Sportsbike :lol:

Chopsies does look nice tho.

MIne has had a new battery because after reading the internet it said NEW BATTERY when it wouldnt start.
Got new one fitted, it still didnt start.
I asked on facebook stupidly and realised I had to replace everything to fix the problem.
Anyway it was booked in for a new tyre yesterday and after 5 mins it eventually fired up - some electric gremlin somewhere.
The shop had no issue with it tho.

What was nice - a lad in the place when I picked it up came over and said I'd always wanted one of those. So maybe its true, I've a gsxr from kids childhoods. :lol: :lol:

Back protector bought as its a requirement for MSV trackdays - going in april if anyone fancies it - or a fight or something :lol:
