Bender Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 The adaptive ride height control could be a bonus for some but it's only available on top spec as a 1k option. I still like it, video waffles on a bit but some nice shots. 1 Quote

Gerontious Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 I’m so excited by this bike that I went to the foot of our stairs where I promptly sat down and gazed, with a glazed eye into the far distance. Luckily the kettle started to whistle so I didn’t get caught up in the curtains. nice day for it. Quote

Harley is trying to move out of the past and your still living in it, I mean who has a kettle that whistles these days 2 Quote

S-Westerly Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 Hey, I was born in Lancashire! Don't live there though and haven't since I was 7. Fairly sure they have electric but set in their ways. However their arms are longer and their pockets are shorter than Yorkies! 1 Quote
Bender Posted February 28, 2021 Author Posted February 28, 2021 Didn't realise so many folk lived in beamish 2 Quote
S-Westerly Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) What depressed me about Beamish was a lot of the stuff in it I could remember from my grandmother's house. Some of it was also to be found in my wife's auntie's house up until about 20 years ago. Of course she did live in Newbiggin which was / is pretty backwards.

Street I grew up in could have been Beamish, old colliery row 20 houses each side, cobled road, outside toilets, no heating complete with corner shop that would have made arkwrights look like apple store. 1 Quote
