  • This is an eXtra video from Mr Darcy & The Ol' Man.
    The Ol' Man gets a call from Darcy, who is currently in Seoul Korea, and takes his Harley-Davidson Softail Standard to a custom Harley workshop (Matchbook Custom) and used showroom near Stamford in the UK to put the bike up for sale www.mbc.style/ and while he's there, has a look around the workshop and showroom at some very cool customised Harley-Davidsons.
    After that, he goes to the lovely ancient town of Stamford, for a very expensive pizza and before that pops into an antique shop.
    A light-hearted video vlog for entertainment and humour, that doesn't quite fit with our main channel, hence eXtra!

    Stamford is a wonderful place. After following your channels, I have been influenced to buy a Harley, which I had never considered before. My first Harley is an 883 low with forward controls, and although it might not have fantastic brakes, outright power or brilliant suspension it has a soul that other bikes I've owned have not possessed 😊

    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.

      WTF? Seventy five quid for just a meal for 2 or 3 people? Surely that can't be right?

      @f19ash 3 місяці тому +1

      I remember when their pizzas were about 4 quid back in the 90s. Thing is, wages were about the same back then and they are now. People need to ask more questions about how the fiat money system actually works.

    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.

    Nice vid.👍 Size if those pizzas! On a negative note, l been watching the HD market for a while & not much is moving at all. I've recently sold my bike, the lowest owner, lowest mileage & newest year, to do that l had to make it the cheapest! The others are still for sale but at least l got £ in my pocket. I am 60 & right now is the worst sellers market l've ever seen and l'd forget about what you think your bike is "worth", because it's not.

    I find dealers to be con men and because they take a percentage of the sale, prices are then higher. It would be much better to just buy straight from the manufacturer and I doubt they'd lower prices because they'd want to screw you to.... At least we'd get way better sales. If they could just shop in a box straight to my door and I save a few grand, that is a much better option. Also the dealers aren't mechanics any more and whenever you take your bike to them for a service or whatever, they always try and overcharge you and screw you and often do a bad job anyways. I've had so many arguments in the past to the point I do it all myself now and everyone I talk to says the same.... So good riddance to them, they put themselves out of business.
