The brakes were appalling and I was not having fun. Then I started to see how other people were reacting and I just fujifilm relaxed a bit. Suddenly fujifilm the riding position stopped feeling un-natural, the brakes improved once I used the back as much as the front (so that's why the pedal is so big) the secondary controls seemed a little less odd and the weight disappeared. The gearbox, however, remained horrible. But with fujifilm 1455cc beneath you, actually gears don't matter that much. And I started to get it. For the first time ever, I began to understand what people see in Harleys. Now as the journey wasn't going to be at the normal sort of pace, I started thinking of things I had always thought about Harleys and attempted to prove them right or wrong. So here are a few examples. Harleys don't handle. Actually they do. Not in a razor sharp sportsbike way, but in a very predictable, friendly way that encourages smooth and progressive riding rather than point and squirt. The limiting factor, at least in the dry, seems to be ground clearance for the simple reason that there isn't very much.
