Harley needs to get its head out of its past
Harley-Davidson builds wonderfully iconic motorcycles that echo the past throughout their design. However, I am becoming increasingly aware that Harley is—for lack of a better term—avoiding the future.
Arguments Invited
Like a baseball team playing on the wrong side of a .500 record, for 2010 Harley-Davidson has shuffled its lineup, axed a few, and brought in some new big guns...
Doing Everything “Wrong” Can Make it Right
I have a friend, Brian. I know him only slightly and have seen him just a handful of times in the past 10 years. Brian is no one’s poster boy.
The Motorcycle Industry is Alive and Well, Thank You Very Much
f you’re an investor reading Harley’s last quarterly statement, or a service tech who’s been laid off, you might think I’ve been wallowing in a bag of long-lost wacky weed. Sorry, not in this case.
Take Your Effete, Dilettante Sportster and Stuff It
Looking as though it’s barely one step ahead of the police, EPA, DOT, and the Impeccable Taste & Easily Offended contingent, the pictured motorcycle started life as a pristine Sportster Nightster, arguably one of the best-looking Sportsters, ever...
Wow! What a Ride!
Fifteen years ago I became involved in the creation of a brand-new magazine called American Rider, and I was officially installed as the editor for the second issue ever produced...
Here’s Hoping
About ten years ago a company in Gilroy, California, tried to revive the Indian Motocycle. They changed the name from “Motocycle” to “Motorcycle” by adding a letter and attempted to build traditionally styled Indian motorcycles with more modern technology. The parts they used, however, were mostly farmed out of aftermarket catalogs. They had about 500 employees. It failed.
Ride On
Doom! Disaster! Death! War! Earthquakes! Tornados and cyclones! Foreclosures! Economic peril! And $5 gas! Just look at those headlines! Omigosh, when will it all end?
Ride On!
We all have the means of temporarily escaping our troubled world by just getting out on the road, traveling to events and rallies, enjoying our Harleys one day at a time. So let’s do just that. I say, “ride on!”
Asking for Directions
There’s this stereotype of guys never asking for directions. Of course it’s not true, because I personally asked for directions once, in 1962. I was looking for the only Interstate in San Diego County at the time (unknown to me, the entrance ramp was located only a block away).
The Perfect Passenger
I had this dream that I woke up at 5 a.m. and she had everything packed on the bike, she was already in her leathers, the coffee was made, and she had even had the cell phone all charged up. I noticed a remarkable lack of luggage bungeed to the bike. “Is all your stuff loaded?” I asked.
Good Vibes
There was something about the 2007 Dyna Super Glide (see 2 Bikes in 1, page 26) that I didn’t mention in the story because I wanted to expand on it: vibration.
Is Victory Ours?
With the magazine’s newly focused mission I find myself asking,
No Excuses
Of course we are all familiar with that epic biker film.
A Different Road
We've altered course and gone down a different road.
Your Right to Write
After reviewing all of the reader responses to last issue's column
The Right Questions
I know this fellow, Dan, who was involved
The TRUTH ABOUT HELMETS - Why Wear 'Em?
My head does not belong to The State, it belongs to me.
The Wizard of Cogs
The time will come when we look back at bikes
Smoking Pipes
John was more than upset, he was angry.
