I caned Harley’s new X350, I caned it remorselessly! I tried to break it by thrashing it around town and when that didn’t work, I took it for a 600-plus kilometre ride into Western NSW and I thrashed it some more, well outside what Harley envisage the X350 would be subjected to by the average punter – it didn’t break!
