    Mums want Harleys for Mothers Day

    Nearly a quarter (24%) of mums want a ride on a Harley Davidson this Mother's Day, according to insurance website Tiger.co.uk.

    Just over one-in-ten mums said that they would prefer excitement on a motorbike to a bunch of flowers this Mother's Day (12%).

    Grannies are the biker queens with one third admitting to secretly wanting to hop on the back of a Harley Davidson (33%).

    Almost twice as many Mums said they would like to travel on the back of a Harley Davidson compared to their sons (24% v 13%); and overall, 17% of Britons said that they would love to own one.

    One in five granddads thought riding on a motorbike was the best way to enjoy the countryside (19%) and 22% want to own one. But Granddads clearly have taste when it comes to motorbikes, as only 3% said they would be happy with a Harley Davidson.

    I was going to say that they lack imagination wanting to ride on a Harley, but then thought its probably their imagination going into overtime
    2001 Transalp XLV650. Faithful old friend still chugging away nearly 100,00miles
    2007 Varadero XLV1000. Now you're torquing but sadly gone to another forum member. One of the best bikes - period.

    Because you polish a lot but hardly ever use it properly?

    It could be due to the amount of vibration a Harley produces.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE
