A word about Harleys ………

With less than 24 hours to go before we arrive across the pond, this seems to be a good time to get a certain niggling issue out of the way. Those of you who followed our perambulations last year may have been left with the impression that at least one of our party had, how shall I put it, a bit of a “down” on that iconic American motorcycle – the Harley-Davidson. Let me say now, nothing could be further from the truth. In fact we love them so much that we have planned to hire two in Boston (albeit the lightest ones we could find). The fact that no other motorcycles were available had nothing whatsoever to do with our decision….

Obviously the choice of transport does have certain implications, such as regular weight training, the purchase of bandanas and the cultivation of luxuriant beards but we are rising to the challenge.
