There is one thing about Harley-Davidson motorcycles that every motorcyclist will agree on — you either love them or hate them. I ride with guys who look at Harley riders and shake their heads in disapproval. Part of my resentment for this legendary brand can be attributed to the fact that it’s more popular than any of the motorcycle brands I’ve ever associated with. Deep down inside, I want a Harley, but on the surface I prefer something that is totally against Harley-Davidson’s philosophy of motorcycling.

Apparently, if you keep asking Land Rover’s PR agency politely for the past eight years why you weren’t invited to any of their major press events, they keep saying they have no space. Then when you publicise that they aren’t inviting you to events, instead of making amends, they simply bury their heads in the sand and ban you. So we won’t be able to bring you any review of the Explorer-esque new Range Rover, but we can certainly keep bringing you updates on our very own Range Rover. It’s been four months since we picked it up, and we’ve finally taken it in for an issue that’s been bugging us since we bought it.
