In the News Hardley moving

For me, it would have to be a Fat Boy. Suits my persona and it’s the one Arnie had in T2.

The only Hardly I'd have owned, would've been a Buell.

The only one I would actually own is an MT350 & all that is Harley on that is the name pressed into the side panels

The mrs has had 2 Harleys one she won but sold it off before riding it (sensible) the second she owned when I met her, soon after that I rode it once to the shop to part x the detestable fecking thing

little grey Fergie, I stuck one of those in a ditch once

Rather strangely, we were having sort of a discussion a few hours ago and the picture below was posted showing a monstrosity which I likened to the above picture. What do you think? See the similarity?

But what did you do with the Harley...?

Yep, as the 3rd coincidence in 24 hours, I certainly did.

Learned to drive on a Fordson Major.

Me too when I was about 10. Turned right over with me below it in a ditch. No damage to me and little to the Fergie.

I also had my first drive on an uncle’s farm with his DB35, I was maybe 13 at the time, less than a week later I was required to drive it and trailer up to the end of the lane loaded with milk churns - then stop, reverse it up to the milk lorry and the driver lifted the churns off the trailer onto the lorry. My best summer holidays ever were on my uncles farm, mucking out the cow sheds, helping build hedges, and when we had some spare time me and a cousin would hunt frogs and sell them to a local “doctor”.

I couldn't drive & neither could the other 2 on the Fergie with me hence ending up in the ditch we were about 8 or 10 at the time

I had 3 r 4 summers on cousins farm.
Did all the jobs. Luckily they got a milking machine the second summer. I couldn't get the hang of it.

I was back regularly but a good few years later the silage cutter was in the yard. When I was 15 I had no problem lifting it and hitching it up. I could hardly lift it.

Nearly looks like a bike

I met a Haley on a long right hand bend.
The road must a been a bit uneven, it was like a bucking bronco. I was seriously concerned that he was going to take me out.

I overheard a guy telling about going to Spain on his. "Yea it was ok if you kept it about 60" seemingly otherwise it was not stable.

I used to help out bailing from a young age every year & in all that time the regulator on the bailer was knackerd so you would get 1 foot bales & 5 foot ones it was always a race to get the little ones loaded

Years later I wanted to hire a unit on the same farm, the same farmer I have helped out for free for years on end said no, miserable old git found himself sitting down rather unexpectedly
