Random thoughts of a Harley Davidson riding biker geek.
197 HORSEPOWER!!! If I weren’t such a Harley Davidson fan, I’d have to get one of these Yamaha’s. I always loved the original V-MAX but this is just brutally AWESOME!!!

Beautiful Sonoma, California was the staging area for our test of several 2009 Harley-Davidson models. Our focus was on the significantly redesigned touring bikes and the stunning new V-Rod Muscle.

It’s always hard to see great people you admired as a kid growing up pass away. Evel was one of those legends that I looked up to. I remember having the Evel Knievel lunch box and thermos that I took to school to show off to my friends. He was really part of the whole [...]

Harley-Davidson, that most quintessentially American Motor Company, has gone and released a bike in Europe before releasing it in America. What is the world coming to? The XR 1200, based on the Sportster model range, is a streetbike that’s inspired by the [...]

Harley Davidson V2 Case Mod is a Real Running Engine. The pistons fire and pump the water through the system to cool everything off. This thing is truly amazing for it’s detail and craftsmanship that the guy put into it. Not to mention I think it’s cool as hell!!!
I’d love to add one of these little units to my tool arsenal!!!

Here’s a sample of what the trip looked like:
I believe I blogged about this a while back. Now, however, it is a reality that they will be producing the bike for the US market.
Harley-Davidson has just announced that the XR1200 sports bike is to be made a full production bike.

Harley Davidson Motor Company is in the midst of a LARGE recall of ALL 2006 & 2007′ (07’s produced up until November of 2006) FXDWG (Dyna Wide Glide?) OEM 1 1/4″ handlebars (a.k.a. the “mini apes” - approximately 10″ high & 50 state legal).
This recall was announced at the end of last year (However, not [...]
Thanks to my friend Chuck for this info.
Night riding significantly increases the risk of fatality. A 2006 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) study found the following information.
60% of all motorcycle fatalities occur at night!!
This might not seem overwhelming, but consider these facts:
1) During warm weather months, it’s daylight for more than half of the [...]

This is an email I got from Harley Davidson that I thought I’d pass on. Kinda cool IMHO.

I have received this before in an email as text. But, I didn’t know that someone made a video out of it. It holds an excellent message and it’s also a little chilling if you ride a motorcycle.

I found this article orginally on John C. Devorak’s blog http://www.dvorak.org/blog/?p=9903. However, he is apparently not a Harley Davidson fan. As a result, I chose not to quote his remarks directly but rather those of the original article at http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/metro/20070219-9999-1n19harley.html

Finally some progress for the Indian Motorcycle Company. http://www.indianmotorcycle.com/ Apparently they are taking deposits for their 2008 models right now. $1,000 is all you need to guarantee your very own Indian Chief. I’ll post pictures as soon as they have something worth posing on their site.
Harley-Davidson chose the venue of their winter dealer meeting in Orlando, Florida to reveal the latest addition to their classic Sportster range. The XL 1200N Nightster is a super-low riding Sportster 1200 with an aggressive look highlighted by a flat gray/black engine with chrome highlights, and a paint scheme making use of satin finishes for [...]

I have seen this bike and a friend has one. It truly is a winner IMHO. If I were buying this year it would probably be this bike.
US Rider News announces that its Editors have selected the Harley-Davidson ‘Softail Custom’ as the “Best New Nostalgic Bike of 2007.”
Editor Scott Cochran said that this bike hearkens [...]
I found this on a forum and felt compelled to post it here. It gave me chills up my spine at the end as I’m sure it will to anyone who rides a Harley or any bike for that matter.

I’ve been reading many biker mags for quite a while now and I have to say, Hot Rod’s Bike Works is a kick ass magazine. I’m not affiliated with them in any way so this is a working man’s point of view nothing more nothing less. I do however, whole heartedly recommend them as one [...]
