__________________________________________________
Today, The Ol' Man, goes off on his own, on the BMW R 18, with a great plan!
1. Look around the Old City of Peterborough and get some new high class men's fragrance...
2. Visit Definition Gym, the most amazing, hard core bodybuilding gym you've ever seen...
3. Have a pub lunch, and sit outside, with the bike, and hopefully talk to some passers by...
4. Go to the beautiful Old town of Wansford, between Peterborough and Stamford, just off the A1 Motorway...
5. Look at the 4x4 proving ground, not far from Wansford, as seen on Top Gear with Richard Hammond, as well as other UK TV programs, including 5th Gear...
Some of it worked...but a lot didn't...
This is a video intended for our main channel, Mr Darcy & The Ol' Man, but as it says in the title and description, it didn't go to plan. On the main channel, we aim to make 2 videos per week, thats 104 per year, and sometimes, a good idea turns out otherwise, and this video is an example of that.

    I think what you're saying in terms of the younger or new audience re' opinion on Harley is spot on. I have had sport bikes since I was 18 until I sold up at 30 when life took over and starting started a family. Now I'm 34 I'm wanting back on two wheels and find myself looking at character and how a bike makes me feel more than the adrenaline and speed side and track work. I'm looking at HD slim, Lowrider S and Street bob. Who knows what I'll end up with but certainly I see HD more appealing to those further on in their riding lifecycle.

    Was really hoping Darcy would have a " guilt trip" about parting ways with his Harley and decide to keep it as a Sunday bike. Matchbook Customs looks like it has some really interesting bikes in stock so will add them to the "Must visit" list. On the pizza front I recently visited a Pizza Express ordered two pizzas ,some olives, three portions of dough balls and a bottle of sparkling water, that little lot came to £75:00 , I thought they had given me somebody else's bill , crazy times we live in.

    I'm just a clockmaker with a diploma in Horology. Bought my first Harley 883 new in 1988. Moved to a 1995 evo FXDL because I couldn't live with the tank range, on my third Harley now, a 1999 FXDL. If you want to destroy the value of your Harley just customise it to your own taste. Happy days from sunny Devon. Don't pay more than £200 for a beautiful long case clock at your local BHI auction. It'll be cash only, lucky if they can sell it. There is some money in buying one with a place name and selling it back to where it came from. You missed the star there,broken arch case bracket strike. Vienna regulators were made to tick at the resting heart rate and have a dead beat escapement,very accurate but the second hand indicated minute is around 43 seconds, just the way things are,it's a complicated story.
