Final few from the Super Rally

Just three more photos from the Super Rally 2003

Main square in Ceske Budejovice during the Super Rally 2003

This is the main square which was packed with bikes during the weekend of the rally.

Knight in shining armour

A very old picture from The Super Rally 2003 which was held in the southern Czech town of Ceske Budejovice on the old military airfield. This guy was amazing bombing around the airfield in a full suit of armour!! It was the first rally we went to and I came across the photos and thought that some of them would be worth putting up here. Admittedly we cheated as the Fatboy went on a van but we did have an excuse as were taking a whole load of stuff for my step son and his wife (who happens to be from Ceske Budejovice). It is a beautiful part of the world and I can recommend a visit. Anyone who want to know more about Ceske Budejovice should click here for photos or here and here for more general tourist information. I may post some more pictures from the rally later on.

Final shot from Bisley

I couldn't resist this shot of one womans tank from the Harley Davidson rally at Bisley. Apparently these were her grandchildren. What great artwork - a lot of time and effort has gone into this machine.


This won a prize at Bisley for the best bike from a member of Ladies of Harley

Two more bikes

One of these was an F1 Schumacher special

Another couple of bikes

One nice and one well lets say "different but not to my taste". Thats what makes these machines such fun. Every Harley is different and each one makes a unique statement. You never see a Harley which has been kept as it was when brand new.

Another bike at Bisley

Another bike from the SOFER Rally at Bisley

Battle of Hastings anyone?

These pictures were taken at the South of England Rally which was held at Bisley earlier this month. We went along on our two Fatboys and had a great time. This bike must I presume belong to someone from 1066 Chapter. More photos to follow.

The new Fatboy

This is my wifes new Fatboy which should be with us soon. As you can see it has been repainted in Pink and Blue and as soon as the Sportster is sold we will have room for it. Somebody is bouncing around the ceiling in anticipation.

Why a Harley Davidson Fatboy?

We are somewhat fans of the Harley Davidson Fatboy in this house. I have owned one for four years and my wife is in the process of acquiring one (pictures to follow sometime soon). If you read this review from American V you will see why.

Harley-Davidson moves into the Chinese market

They have just opened their first dealership in China on the edge of Beijing. It will be interesting to see how sales go given the price of the bikes. Still I am sure that it is a market that HD will be desperate to crack given its size and long term prospects. Also another country to try and get a Harley-Davidson T-shirt from

My wife wants a bigger one!

Bike that is! What else did you think I meant?

She has done a deal to buy a Harley Davidson Fatboy from a friend of ours. It is currently having a pink and blue paintjob applied to the tank and fenders but the upshot is that her Harley Davidson Sportster needs to go.

It is listed on ebay (see link) and is a beautiful bike. 2004 which means it is rubber mounted unlike older sportsters. Details as follows:

Blue/Black XL883C Sportster, 5,800 miles. Taxed until September. Stage 1, Windshield, Solid Saddle Bags, Custom Grips, Double seat with sissy bar and bag rack. If anyone is interested or knows of anyone who might like such a machine then please click on the link or post a comment to this message (for the right money we are prepared to sell it and remove from ebay)

Liberal Democrat readers please note this machine is NOT stored in a barn in East Lothian!

The Beastie Returns

At last my pride and joy is back home

It has been away for about six weeks having some more chrome added and a few other bits and pieces done. The paintwork is now completely different as you will see in the picture which is below. This is a set of tank and fenders which I got from ebay for £320 - a bargain. The original set are now awaiting completion of the design work for new paintwork themed on the 17th Airborne division who were based at Greenham Common during World War 2. Once that is done this paintwork will disappear and probably be reauctioned on ebay.
