Thanks to you all for your warm welcome

I have just had the bike stage 1 tuned with Screaming Eagle Baloney cut shorties fitted (That will wake the Neighbours up !)

And for WildBill2566 I am in the Midlands in a little village near Coventry where the Old PC Plod (Police for our American Cousins) Like to ambush us with vigour ! I have just ridden through a village called Shilton and old PC Plod was hidding behind a tree with his laser just popping over the top of his bike. Good job I was going in the other direction but I had to back the noise off a bit hoping he didn't notice the rather small licence plate.

I will post some more pictures later, However I went on Riders Edge for an advanced riding course and these pictures are from the Elan Valley in Wales with ny riding buddy in the second pic (Luck Devil is in Florida right now buying cheap parts ! Only because I did the same in California in May)

To all our American friends I had a great time in California in May 05 and visited nearly every Harley dealer from San Fransisco to San Diego and Las Vegas back to San Fransisco and bought over $1500 of parts. In the UK we have to pay in sterling the same as you do in dollars which makes parts over hear nearly twice the price.

Next time I am over there I will do Highway 1 on a Harley instead of a Dodge Durango.

Its a great country you have and its the third time over there for me but I just love it and will keep comming back

Hi PWHOG

The roads around there are beautiful- very empty and scenic.

Just out of interest how did you find the riders edge course?

Was it worth the cash?
