Harley Davidson is a name synonymous with the good old US of A. It's a Hog, it has a heart and big presence. Has lots of chrome, has the classic 'potato potato' sound, weighs almost as much as the rider (me), does not go around corners but for the sheer pleasure if it, to ride one in and around San Francisco, well one has to doesn't one? Leather Jacket is now calling and soon time to let the goatee grow big and hairy and get some stick on tattoo's!
So the bike is booked, a Dyna Low Rider see: http://www.eaglerider.com/rentals/harley-davidson-dyna-low-rider.aspx?referral=sanfrancisco. Only took this one because it is not quite as big a lump of iron as a Fat Boy (rode one of those some years back and, ooh after 100 miles or so I could not wait to get off cos riding with feet up / forward and with ape hangers = lots of weight on ones rear end..) and maybe not as old man'ish as some of the other street and tour models. Just waiting for the confirmation email (and had to look carefully more than once whilst booking as there is no option to cancel / amend after pushing the button!). I am now a happy and rather pleased piglet. God knows what i would have, could have done without tinternet.
Just the final accommodation on the California coast to book and all is in the bag.
Almost time to put my feet up.
Speak soon
