    You could always opt to buy yourself a huge custom Harley Davidson Motorbike, I've been getting into Harleys myself after seeing some at a show in Kununurra, there was this one Harley I saw at the Kununurra showgrounds that was basically a restored 1930s model, it looked Uber-Cool.


    Oh, I have to tell you this story, this one time when I was back in Kununurra doing some cleaning up in a little shed next to my Dad's workshop, I heard someone drive up and park their car in our driveway, then I heard my dad say "Hey Sam, come and have a look at this", I stopped what I was doing and came out of the shed, in our driveway was a red and black coloured vintage car, the owner of the car said that it was a 1921 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost, Dad and I stopped what we were doing and had a good look at the car while we walked around it, the owner of the car offered to take me for a ride in it, I accepted and got in the passenger's seat, my Dad took a pic of me sitting in the car with a great big grin on my face.

    haha good one Doc, Ponch might have to start a motorbike thread or rename this one. Doc if you seen the series Sons of Anarchy there was a cool restored old Harley in the last season Jax rode.
    Also my grandfather was a policeman in WA and rode a pretty old HD

    Now that is really cool Wokka, what did his HD look like?, I haven't seen the Sons Of anarchy series yet but I'll check them out.


    Harley Davidsons are like the Rolls Royces of Motorbikes, you can tell when someone is riding one by the distinctive noise they make.

    Hey Doc we better not do any more thread jacking or Ponch will give us a fine haha

    I had a look on a family blog and couldn't find a pic of my grandfathers Harley but saw there was a photo in the late 1930's in his uniform so I'd say the HD he rode would have been around that era. I remember seeing a pic of him sitting on it and it was very old looking. Looked similar from memory to the pic attached the styling
    Here's a pic of Jax from Sons of Anarchy the last episode of the last season
