Bad To The Bone, Harley's Nightster 1200
02 April 2008
The Nightster 1200 is a basic, stripped-to-the-bone Harley-Davidson motorbike that’s easy to ride and looks cooler than a Rock-Ola jukebox. If you like the idea of owning a motorcycle that’s just pure fun, ride to a café occasionally, meet some mates, or just escape for an hour or two when the sun is cracking the flags, then the Nightster will do it all baby. One other very important thing should be stressed for any divorced, middle-aged, men here; this motorbike will drive women wild, fact.
