Someone leave it in the backyard in the weather for the last year? This is a wind up, right?

[thaicbr]

looks like a typical thai persons bike. never maintained and left outside in all weather. And most people know already that Platinum are NOT a QUALITY bike.....

Needs one of those goldfish assessories swimming around in the headlight.

HD has been known for his sarcasm before

Clean up the fork tubes with some AutoSol. Drill a small hole in the headlight to drain the water. Replace the header pipes and you're ready to go

I used to buy and sell bikes up in Chiang Mai. One time I had a Kawasaki Boss in premium shape as I keep all my bikes and beside mine was one of these fine Platinum bikes with the majority of parts still on it. Usually parts fall off these splendid after about ten kilometers once you but them new. They used to give you a free scooter also if you bought one. Kinda like something to ride while backtracking and looking for your lost parts. Along came a French falang and bought the platinum because it was about 5,000 Baht less than my Boss. I figured it was a good marriage...

I do, but I'm more a fan of custom HD's 'less is more scenario'. Saw some stunning choppers parked in the side soi outside the Imperial Mae Ping and they weren'rt entered in the show either.

I love my Harley, so you're not on your own here

[dutchrdam]

Now i understand.... after not getting any attention anymore from the people on the sidewalk when you drive by on your HD you now start putting pictures from total neglect Chinese build motorbikes.

I can place here links and photo's from HD from 6 months old where the chrome jumps off or the paint bubbles up. Total repair costs US$ 10.000, not under waranty. But what do you expect from a cheap, US$ 36.000 road ready, American product.

Regards and have all a great and safe 2011

Oh yes I like Harley’s, I owned a low rider when I started living in Phuket but wrecked it in a accident which almost cost my life.

Nowadays i think that the Harleys are muuuuuuuuuuuch to expensive in Thailand and I prefer my shiny big white car. ( I’m getting old and like air-con and so on )
