    Meet some owners, outside the confines of the shop environment. Must be loads in the Dublin area.

    Only reason I did IBT and got full licence was because of my obsession with HD . Worse scenario, sell it and think again but I know won't once I get my hands on oneðŸðŸ

    If this is true then I would buy one. It is the only way to satisfy your own obsession.

    Life is too short to deny yourself..

    Definitely !!! The lads in Franklin are awesome to deal with . We test drove a couple of them a while back and couldn't get over how buttery smooth the engines were, even on the Chieftain.

    Fúcking hell, that's the worst looking bike I've ever seen. Leaving it primer grey makes it look worse! Each to their own!

    I own a Softail and a Bandit, love both of them but the Harley is my pride and joy. Great bike. Defo test ride and don't buy with your heart, try it our first. Some don't handle better than other, specially if there is a lot of custom parts on it.

    ^^^ this.

    Fwiw, imho, keeping it stock keeps it reliable. Mine had Screamin Eagle pipes when I got mine. Took em off and went back to complete stock.

    Some of the open Harley pipes can be fairly obnoxious. I don't mind loud pipes, but Christ, some of the Harley lads have them ridiculously loud. See southpark S13E12

    I purchased a new BMW GSA 1200 Adventure and it was going to be my “last bike”

    Few years later the Harley dealer was having a test ride event, every bike was available.

    Figured what the hell ill make a day of it, drove the BMW down and test rode a new Street Glide, loved it and bought it. The GSA is a great bike, and if there were no Harley id still be happy with the GSA

    The BMW sat in the garage for over two years untouched, finally sold it this year

    Never in my life did I think id own a Harley but here I am three years on and loving it.

    Spend some time with one and see for yourself
