No, I did try but got some very searching looks and was asked not to. Since that wasn't the reason I was there I dodn't push the matter- it would have been very rude to do so and also put the guys who were letting me have a look at it in a possibly awkward position
I don't disagree about the S and S versus Harley thing. I've had several Harleys myself and, as you say, they ain't the best in terms of technology or finish but what does strike me is that if the original reason why MMC went with Harley was to strike a chord with the American market( and several statements by the factory seem to support this never mind Charles' upcoming GUmball rally exploit) why then b* gger it up by having to swithch to S ans S- admittedly a much better engine but not attracting the same mass following as the H-D oes in the states
Me. I'd have gone for Guzzi engine anyway but I'm just awkward!
