You've Always Wanted A Harley, But Can You Talk the Talk?

I don’t have the statistics on how many women (or men, for that matter) wake up one day and say, "I've always wanted a Harley and, dammit, today I'm gonna go out and buy one!" but it's probably more than we'd guess. The thing is, there is so much more to it than buying that bike you've had your eye on, or stumbling on a "priced to sell" at your local dealership, or picking up a steal at auction. There's the safety course and the learner's permit, of course. But there's also the lingo, the terms every rider should know.

Looking like a bike built expressly for post-Armageddon cruising is not exactly what you’d expect after a 17-year build, but that’s exactly the look and the feel Erik Dunk, owner of Iron Block Harley-Davidson in Adams Center, New York, was going for. And to answer your first question that you haven’t asked yet ― No, it wasn’t left outside the whole time to achieve that “slightly-used” patina it wears so well.

(continued from Monday)

The discos of Lloret remained open until the early hours of Saturday morning. Bikers awoke on Saturday with the choice to see the vendor areas again or check out the soft and incredibly clean beaches and ride over the winding mountain roads with seaside views. Saturday afternoon, the AMD showmaster asked builders to vote on the bike show; the winner would get to attend the AMD show in Sturgis this year. As the 30 + planned for show bikes grew in number, the tent designed for them wouldn’t hold them all. Mostly Spanish and French entries vied for the Sturgis trip. Bertrand Dubet of Odyssey Motorcycles won overall and will represent the Harley Butts 2010 Show at Sturgis later this summer.
