Perous Secret Diary - Keep Out: September 16, 2026

going going g....

Stunning, powerful, unique bike seeks responsible rider, who appreciates the finer things in life… and life.
Some bikes are better than others.
Some bike’s builders are better than other bike’s builders.

Here is my epic, custom Harley Springer Softail
with recently upgraded (brand new) S&S v111, 1819cc (124bhp) engine.

‘We’ve’ been perfecting this bike over the last ten years to this point, where It’s now some kind of perfection: my dream bike, my pride and joy, my preferred means of travel through life.
The pressure valve: when things get too complicated: just get on this bike and ride.

Out riding, I often find myself looking sideways, stopped at traffic lights and catch myself grinning stupidly in my own reflection.
This 1 of 1, unique bike starts first time, rides so smooth with so much power, it literally feels like you’re flying.
Flying on a barely tamed, bastard-beast: the twin-engine thumps like something organic and alive: this is NOT a sedate custom cruiser: this is brutalism as an artform on two wheels.

It’s always reliable (rare for an older Harley)
Serviced very regularly.
It looks CRISP and rides as good as it looks.
There has been attention to (every) detail.

Sometimes I think this bike looks better without me on it.
I guess other people think the same, as there’s often someone drooling over my bike when I come back to where I’ve parked it.
Often those people ask, ‘what is it?’ and I say ‘it’s kind of a custom Harley’

Sounds deep and awesome, like angry thunder (loud pipes save lives)

I bought the bike in 2014
The new S&S engine, fitted 2023 (now only just broken in with 4000ish miles on it) was £9000 alone
Also upgraded and included:
New S&S super G carb
High output starter motor
BDL 2″ belt primary with a lock-up clutch
Front springs
Straight handlebars
Front fender delete
Solid wheels
White wall tyres
Upgraded loud DENALI horn
Loud pipes (which as we all know save lives)

This is NOT a new, stock Harley that is in any way the same as another stock Harley that anyone can buy. This is a very special bike.
So you might wonder why I’m selling this bike: my favourite object d’art
And I might find it as hard to put into words as I am coming to terms with selling it.
But I am giving up biking completely.
I know you can ride till you die,
but I have come to some kind of agreement with my wife, that this is not how I’ll be going.

No tyre kickers
No deals to be done
