Harley Davidson edition F-150?
I'm not into HDs, but that has to be the best accessory ever surely?
In essence, yes.I'm not into HDs, but that has to be the best accessory ever surely?
2003 was the 100th Anniversary of both the Ford Motor Company & Harley Davidson.
They did a tie up and Ford added the HD edition to the F-150 in 2000 going through to a couple of years ago when the agreement ended.
Basically, it was the top of the range model truck with leather seats, extra goodies and badging. The 2003 & 2003 got the supercharged Lightning engine, albeit detuned by 20hp.
Mine isn't detuned btw
L9 ACP, that's one hell of a shed! 
Does anyone have an asgard metal garage? would love to see what people have done with the limited space in them, I'll be buying one later this year, hopefully should be able to line it with some insulation board, fit an LED strip light or 2, and fit some sort of flooring. Should be space for 2 bikes top-to-tail and a tool chest at the end plus a couple of paddock stands.

Its 6.5m long by 4.2m wide
Bit deceptive with the GoPro fish eye type lens makes it look bigger than it actually is inside.
Plenty of room for more bike though
I only have room for a 3.7m by 3.7m shed, but I only have 2 bikes so maybe not tooooo badBit deceptive with the GoPro fish eye type lens makes it look bigger than it actually is inside.

I originally built mine to house the two 'weekend' cars i had at the time.
Young family meant they sat there unused for two years so outed them and got more bikes including the suzuki track bike which im getting into now
The right hand MV is my mates track bike i store as i have the room (his words) so having the space has its down sides

Some lovely set-ups from PH'ers here - can only dream of how some of the "working" garages smell 
true childhood memories there and even had me looking for Suffolk Punch Lawn Mowers on eBay, just to recreate a little of the smell in my garage.
A little embarrassed by how OCD mine looks now:

Be careful if you buy one, 120 ever made, 35 apparently by the designing company that homologated them for WSB, 11 of which are missing/stolen, rest apparently built out of parts by the company that bought Mondial, now called a similar name, but have a very close look, there are differences where they ran out of original parts. Mine is an original homologation bike with the race system.

Best room in the house haha
Nice collection, what can I see there, 2x MV f4's, Rsv Mille, RSVR, Mondial Piega and a blade? Thanks, yes, the F4's are an R312 from 2008 only registered in 2010, an RR312 from 2009 still unregistered, an RSV Factory from 2004 only registered December 2008, and an RSVR Colin Edwards Replica from 2003 only registered in 2012. The Repsol was RR7 registered in 2009, and alas now sold to a lucky U.K. owner, and now the space is occupied by a Moto Guzzi Stelvio from 2011, just registered.
Then the Mondial of course, from 2003. It is not one of the mystery bikes which suddenly started appearing in the U.K. over the last four years with some different parts used to finish, athough they're cheaper so can't blame anyone for buying one of those. This is an original early bike (with the invoice) and takes some getting used to haha. It wasn't registered until 2010.
I suppose I should move the things off the shelves above it and the RR312, and the heavy door balancing against a filing cabinet ha.
That 16k one, is it over Yorkshire way? If so the rear indicators are swapped, maybe something else I can't remember, as are the tyres on a bike that has done 1000km? Made me curious. Originals Pirelli Diablo. I know people may change due to age etc.
You'll find it extremely hard to find opinions as there aren't any bikes in use really. They can feel slow in some regards, the top of the front fairing shakes, the suspension has to be softened at the front, well I wound off some preload anyway, they're light, which means despite sounding lazy, the numbers come up quicker than you realise sometimes. I have changed down a couple of times and had the rear swaying, and also changed direction quickly and had the front come up during transition, both when not thinking I was going fast, hard to explain really.
If you google them enough you'll find some original reviews which were fantastic, I have some early magazines with articles on them, also praising the bike.
The odometers are in km yet the speed can be switched. Mine is in m. They might have converters, mine doesn't need one though.
I only saw a few for sale ever, one in Germany went early on, one in Saudi, another in South of France, mine was at 23 some years ago, then the others turned up suddenly. I think mine's on some site for sale still, but the only offers are from the same guy who's been after it for several years but they're not good enough yet haha.
See if the one you're going for has the original invoice, as with bikes are to be potentially 'claimed' the worst thing ever would be if unable to prove sold by Mondial at some time.
I have mine locked well away haha
