This horrifies most bikers and especially many of todayâs Harley owners but I donât even have a garage. It gets cleaned every once in a while but I donât mind if it gets a bit dirty. The guy who delivered my bike said in the slightest drizzle he gets new owners ask him to reverse the van into the garage and unload there. Heaven forbid their new bike sees a spot of âgaspâ water.
Harleys for me look best when well ridden. Despite what this bike currently looks like Iâm not a fan of the spotless chrome, âride it three times a yearâ look.
I had an old 1200 Sportster when I lived in London, literally sat outside uncovered in the snow on many occasions. I hosed it down and went for a ride and to me it still looked great!
Iâm the same with guitars and watches. I love seeing how stuff ages and wears with use. I saw a 20 year old Rolex GMT in the window of a shop the other day, jubilee bracelet, and polished to within an inch of its life. Such a shame!
