Is Harley Dying?

How Harley-Davidson Killed Itself

If Harley Davidson is the Titanic, the pandemic might just be that one big iceberg. Worse still, it had a hole in the hull and sputtering engines before all this even began. Damn. Is HD done for?

The famous quote about Harleys ” Over 90% of Harleys built since 2000 are still on the road,, the other 10% made it home”

‘Giant Mobility Scooter’. The best line I’ve heard in a long time! (more…)

Operation Combat Bikesaver

Operation Combat Bikesaver

Operation Combat Bikesaver gives veterans and first responders a chance to build and customize a motorcycle. People of all skill levels are encourage to jump in, lend a hand and pick up a few new skills in the process. But OCB is about more than turning wrenches and hangin’ with your bros. This group finds satisfaction in helping out their brothers and finding the gold that lies beneath the rust.

OCB has grown and developed since the beginning to a scale that initially nobody thought would be achievable in such a short amount of time.  The program has had some amazing folks behind the scenes, all doing their part and adding their personal touch to what it has transformed into today.  I have personally met most of the volunteers and board members and can attest every single one is just as compassionate as Jason himself articulates about his passion. Hands on based therapy at OCB has personally helped many that have walked thru the door either as a Candidate or as a Volunteer. (more…)

Some comments:
To bad for the workers, but the board has time now to figure out why they build such crappy overpriced bikes today, instead giving their customers the bike they want.

1946 Harley Davidson

1946 Harley Davidson

Old bikes like this have a certain soul that can’t really be described with words. It’s about sound, feel, smell, and the fact that they are windows into the past.

Good ol’ American engineering. Really cool to hear that machine came back to life so effortlessly. That’s a piece of history!!! Almost a 73 year bike running strong. (more…)

Idiot Motorcycle Riders

Idiot Motorcycle Riders

I was a little hesitant about whether or not to publish this video because I didn’t want to promote motorcycle idiocy. But this is such a prime example of idiot motorcycle riders, I decided to go ahead.

Many people have commented about the lack of safety gear being worn by this lady, but, I think they’re missing the point. For me, the point is total lack of thought about the safety of the other motorcycle riders around this lady and for that matter all other vehicles sharing the highway with her!

There are plenty of videos showing what happens in a crowd of riders when something goes wrong with one of them doing stunts and you have a 700 pound bike and pieces of the bike flying down the road in front of all the other riders behind a showoff idiot. (more…)
