Bad news on the Fatboy, but the truth is that you can only ride one bike at a time. I'm not sure how much I believe the Harley ad - they have screwed up big-time, and just as bad as GM in my view - but there is a lesson in that '29 Flat Head. The Marketers have so influenced us into believing that we HAVE to have whistles and bells and gizmos, that everyone has borrowed zillions to buy into a lifestyle that is neither necessary nor wholly desirable. We have become a throw-away world. Well, there's a lot of machinery that is going to get repaired rather than replaced over the next few years, so maybe there will be opportunities in that for some people. It's bad in the UK too (and we have an idiot as Prime Minister) but it will get better. Meantime, biking pleasure comes from the humming along....not from how many gizmos are attached to the frame! Stay happy Brother! Hey Mr Zip! Bad news on the Fatboy, but the truth is that you can only ride one bike at a time.

One more thing that can come from an economic downturn. Hopefully, the USA will return to God.
