Kris is considering selling the kombi (picture of it in my avatar)

I am telling him to keep it cos one day he will spew that he let it go
But we have just bought a Harley and he doesnt want to have both

what do you all reckon ???

easy! Sell the every-body's-got-one Harley

can you sleep in your harley? then refer motorbike warning post. 2 easy

does your kombi fall over when you stop at the lights? how many harleys are in tv adverts? hmmmm but there are a few kombis, do you see the bigger picture? i bet the kombi is cheaper to run than the harley as well!

Sell Kris and keep the others:P

Ditch the hog. Simple.

Seriously ask him again when it's next raining and/or freezing cold!

well consensus is keep the kombi

but i think he is going to sell it

is there anyone in the market for a 64 panel with windows ?

I think it would be best to keep both. Neither the VW or Harley will depreciate in value and they are just as much fun in their own different way. It all comes down to storage space. If the Harley won't fit in the garage then park it in the lounge room.:thumb

BTW - What sort of harley is it?

keep the harley and sell the split to me..:P

do one of those poll/vote threads - sell, dont sell or i dont care....

i know which one id vote for

Put the kombi engine in the Harley. *ducks for cover*

Nah it would make for an easy aircooled conversion.

The father-inlaw told me of an aquantance in the 70's who put a VW 1200 engine in his BMW bike. It was a pretty awesome bike, but he was getting his legs burnt and it would not corner very well at all.

Suby engines are only for cars. I suggested at work that an Austin Healey would go really good with a WRX turbo motor in it and the guy I said it to looked at me like I had just said something about his wife. Disgusted but also angry look it was.

We just got a Nash-Healy in for restoration, and my suggestion was to fit a 265 Hemi with triples (E38 Charger). Again was met with disgust.

Healey owners are a bit up-tight about all things not British! You should suggest they fit a VW engine so they get some good ol' German reliability and engineering. I'll bet that would go down like a German U-Boat! The problem with pommie cars is they spend so many man hours getting the wood grain dash to look 'just right' and forget how to fit an electrical cable. Must be nearly time for a cuppa!

They love they Lucas stuff don't they? Goes well behind the woodgrain dash when the smoke starts.

At work they 'modify' them with Bosch starter, alternator and distributor. Koni shocks and Yokahama tyres too for the brave. That seems as far as a lot of them are willing to go.

and what were you expecting from a vee dub forum :o

I think you need to post on a harley forum and see what they say ;-)

Sell the Davidson

It hurts more when you fall of one Like i did 32 years ago.

Or keep Both and just increase the bank payments

Julie-Anne, don't sell it. You know you're gonna kick yourself if you do...SO DON'T SELL IT. Harley davidsons look (the emphasis on LOOK) great in warm, dry weather, but the instant cold or wet or you need to carry something or someone (more than one person) any distance they are uncomfortable and impractical at worst. Besides, finding another splitty in good nic will be a nightmare if you ever want one again. Only sell it if you never want a splitty ever again, and I get the impression that's not the case.

I personally think you should sell your man for having the nerve to buy such a overpriced, horrible motorbike!!! :P

Sell them BOTH and get a buggy:vader

notch nut - it's an XL883L 2007 model (a little customised, wider handlebars and a longer seat so I can fit on the back) - so we dont have it yet, it wont be here till march 2007

I want to keep both too, he says he has too many toys and we will never have the money for a full resto however the car is fine the way it is

I think I'll have to keep working on him
the place won't be the same without the split around !

mate you have it so wrong - i want a bloody harley for myself too !!!!!! and I also want a notch - i dont think it's possible to have too many toys !!!!!

I WANT TO KEEP THE SPLIT - HE wants to sell it, not me !!!!!

Another reason he wants to sell it is because we bought the kiddies a trailbike each for christmas and he wants to get a ute or something to tow the kids bikes around - I told him we could just fit them in the back of the Kombi !!

easy get a kombi dual cab,enough romm for the kids and bikes,i just happen to have one i could swap and give you enough $ for a trailbike for him,,ps wish i had a custom harley,

If parking is a problem, park the Harley in the Kombi.

Don't sell the split. Harley's you can buy anytime, splits will become rarer and more expensive. You will regret it.

splits are getting hard to find if you part with it you will find it difficult to find another having said that there are a lot of punters looking for splits go to dsk.com.au he may change his mind if not its a great place to sell

cheers murray

OK we are doing it - it's for sale in the cars for sale thread

if anyones interested U2U me or email julieannejordan@people.net.au

thanks for all your advice. fell on deaf ears.

Is he sure he wont out grow the 883 ? The 1200 might be worth the extra coin. Personally I would keep the splitty.
