It has always been my ambition to own one of the 2 stroke ' Harleys' just so that I can turn up at a HOG rally ( they have one near here most years) and be able to say, "well it says Harley Davidson on the tank!".

I know they are basically re-badged Cagiva's but otherwise I can't really help.

Excuse my ignorance, is this the Aermacchi 350 you're referring to?

I`ll probably get shot for this but I`m going to say it anyway .........

I like ALL Harley`s and would like another after owning three in the past .... I`d even be tempted to swap the GB for the right one ........

I`ll join you Steve, my coat is on too .......

Ah, I get it now  ;)
I've never owned a Harley, but it doesn't mean I don't like them, I just don't want yet another bike interest, as I've too much going on already. Bit like I've never owned a Beamer either  :-\

I've always had a bit of a left field preference of bikes. ( oddball).  I've never been a fan of Japanese bikes generally, though I do like their singles of which I've owned quite a few , TS, SP DR GN and of course the XBR which was a bike I always wanted to get from the day it was launched but couldn't afford one till 15 years later. Jap twins and multis just don't interest me.

Also owned a Lambretta ( I'm better now but it was very cheap), 3 MZ's, 2 Cossacks - one of which may be reappearing soon - watch the projects page!, 2 BMW's a 450 &1000 and a few other odds & ends.

Always fancied a Guzzi or Morini but never a Ducati. Quite fancied a Brit bike but never a Harley.

I know where you`re coming from Steve, I like things that are "different". I`ve had a couple of Brits, a Triumph TR7 Tiger and a B40 BSA, I liked them both but always liked the Harley`s. As you probably know I`ve got a very rough MZ ES250/2 Trophy needing a major resto, but it`s so ugly I love it  :)

I`m taking delivery of my latest project / toy next week. It`s different, ugly, rusty (patina) but sounds well .... a late 80`s early 90`s 350 Jawa. Sadly though, I need room in my garage so I`ve put my Skorp up for sale locally  :( Hang on, getting rid of my Skorp to replace it with a two stroke Jawa  ??? ??? ???
