I left my RE under a sheet in the corner of the car park at the Royal Langkawi yacht club car park in Malaysia 8 weeks ago. My 66 AJS is next to it.

     There is small plastic sheet over the AJS.

      Its not even out of the rain but I took the mirrors of it to stop the monkeys from stealing them , god knows why they do that, they steal the valve caps also.

    Battery still connected with a lock through the drilled disc, but its snakes when taking off the sheet that is the scary bit.

      I expect it to be there.

     I have no other choice, they wanted me to put it out on the road but I said no --or words to that effect.

     Hey it only cost 2000 dollars from India 2 years ago, I guess its not the end of the world.

    Ever left your bike in a funny place?  stressful ------init?

I've been kicked out of more than one motel for sneaking a bike in the room. Yeah it's stressful.

Br. Clampo, it's good to see you posting... and, oh yes, your RE and AJS will be there for you, man!
Long live the Bullets and those who ride them!

Hey Clamp, were your ears burning? People have been talking about you ... and some girls on the forum. I'm not sure if they were calling you a girl or saying you were hot for one. It could be nothing though, just forget it.....

Just a couple of months after I bought my Electra I was staying in Myrtle Beach, SC.  The hotel night manager told me and several other "bikers" that we should line up our bikes in front of the hotel in a no parking zone so they could free up parking spaces.  That was fine with all of us because we could just walk out the front door and there were our bikes.  That was all good.... until....
The next morning I heard shouting over the balcony outside and some guys were yelling down for them to leave their bikes alone.  It turned out that the next day's manager had called a towing company for the bikes to be removed because they were in a fire zone.  I had to go down and have words with that manager. 
Several of us, at that manager's suggestion, ended up parking our cars and motorcycles in the same parking space right next to the hotel to save parking spaces.  The funny thing is that whether we were in the car or the motorcycle, the space was still taken up by the other vehicle.  That tied up all the good parking spaces for the whole week.  One day I was getting out my bike and the door man came over to me laughing about it saying that he's never seen so many complaints coming to the desk about parking and there was nothing his boss could do about it.   Thanks Clamp for bringing back that parking memory.

That'le be Harley bikers, noisy, ugly bikes with owners to match.

     Tattoos, long hair , long beard with black dirty jeans with black shirt. Could you look more unfriendly?

     Unfortunately there is a stigma attached to the Harley in this respect and some people buy them simply for this , in such a case they are not buying a bike but a  personality which they prob did not have previously.

     Ille not mention the small penis thing but,----- it is the same thing.

     I have a wimpy mate that had a Honda 200cc then he bought a softail standard. The guy immediately changed and was reluctant to  talk to me as I had a intruder 1400.

       You know what the guy bought the waist coat before the bike was delivered,---I rest my case. Now he does'nt talk to me at all.

       He fell off it once --I parked up and rushed over to see if his girl friend was Ok --she was but he was wiping his bike down and never asked her.

      We have a word for these people and it rhymes with --banker!!!

Well, Br. Clampo, that guy is no gentleman!  How could he not check on his lady, first?  I once fought for a lady's honor, which is more than she ever did...   ;)

I don't care for the " harley costum". I wouldn't mind finding a clean HD sporster with an up-right seating postion and foot pegs simular to a RE.
 Of course I'm only willing pay bargin basement prices for one.Thats why I still ride a RE.

Your "banker' friend might be willing to sale out....cheaply. Be ready for a good deal.
