My Harley Davidson Ultimate Test Ride Experience

Well, you see, I have been riding for about 12 years and had tried almost all the different type of bikes that have interested me. My bike history goes something like this (photos are provided just in case you have no idea how each of them looked like):

Honda SP150

Honda CBR600RR

Yamaha Fino 135

Sach Madass 125

SYM GTS200 (current)

To help you better understand how these rides excite me, I have prepared a graph:

I am kind of experiencing the midlife crisis of a motorcycle rider

So in order to kind of inflate my own manhood, I immediately hopped on the chance to test ride a Harley in the Harley Davidson's Test Ride and Win contest. Not only that, the ultimate winner will walk away with an all expenses paid trip to the U.S. and also win the new 2016 Dark Custom of your choice.

So before I commence the test-ride of Harley's Forty-Eight (it's my favourite because of the upside down mirrors), we took some photos that I can submit for the competition.

Obviously, this is how you completely eliminate all chances to win

So the very kind and generous salesperson at the dealership, Mr James Tan offered to take more slightly decent ones.

This is obviously better and now remains on my phone as a wallpaper

'Steve Jobs' on a Harley?

Anyway, it was really fun to ride a big bike after such a long hiatus, 0 to 100km/h in less than 4 seconds and also because of this reason, I finished the entire test ride in less than 5 minutes. Sigh~

So I decided to learn more about the Harley's line of bikes and the experience of owning one from James and he was really generous to share an hour's worth of information. Too much to type here but 2 things to take away, Harley doesn't cost a lot to maintain and has a really strong community bond that fosters friendships between riders. Anyway if you ever want to buy a Harley in Singapore, be sure to go to the dealership (there's only one) and look for James for the best buying experience ever.

So let me conclude with my submission for the contest. I tried to be creative and had only 160 characters to work with so please bear with me.

Hello Forty-Eight, my new friend,

I've come to ride you like a man,

Because ladies watch while I was waiting,

Left others behind while I was revving.

PS: I'm still hoping I can win...hope
