We just a our annual open day at the dealers here in devon in the uk and a local firm brought along a dyno machine, there were a couple of Harleys tested but mainly the local sports bike lads keep them busy.
I was tempted with the slim but as she has only covered around a thousand miles and at that point not had the first service I declined a go, maybe next year.
If you have never experienced a Harley ten feet away that's flat out on a rolling road give it a go the noise is fantastic!
Anyway do you think that I should have had a go or did I do the right thing and decline until shes done a few more miles, has anyone had a bad experience with engine damage during or after a dyno test?
