Electra-glide Tony is a 'Harley' type Whizz-kid businessman Tony Raynor is cuttings a real dash Ð and it's 'Harley' surprising! Tony, of Abbey Telecom, uses his top-of-the-range Harley Davidson Electra-glide on a daily basis and his love for the bike has just earned him another contract. The Blackburn firm has installed a new telephone system at Philip Youles Motorcycles where Tony's bike was fitted with it's £2,500 worth of modifications. The nice thing about owning a Harley Davidson is that it breaks down all social divides, said Tony. Publicity It is not uncommon to see bricklayers, solicitors and doctors all mixing together. The Harley Davidson is. of course, an American-built superbike, which developed a cult following in the late 1960s and early 70s thanks to the enormous publicity generated by the movie Easy Rider. It was also heavily featured in the television series CHIPS, which was based on the Californian Highway Patrol. Tony Raynor is too young to have starred in either!
