how exactly would donated Harley Davidson motorcycles help in the Haiti relief effort? "The 28 Buell and Harley-Davidson motorcycles will first be shipped to the Motor Company’s Dominican Republic dealership organization MagnaMotors before being delivered to the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti. The motorcycles will be used by for disaster relief and stabilization efforts in the Caribbean nation. Haiti suffered an earthquake Jan. 12, and several countries and organizations have offered humanitarian aid. The donated motorcycles will later remain as a permanent donation to the government of Haiti." Unless they're sold at auction and the proceeds donated, would this really help?
What can I do with 100+ photo negatives of Harley-Davidson motorcycles taken in the late 20s and early 30s? The batch of negatives I have also contain images of old bi-panes and automobiles, but mostly contain images of vintage Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Some of the images are taken just outside the manufacturing plant in Milwaukee, some are taken at time trial events, some are of members of the Princeton Motorcycle Club, and many are taken of just the bikes themselves. Thanks for any answers.

The only cruiser faster than the V-ROD is the Triumph Rocket. Soooo....Bash away, Harley bashers. All I see is a bunch of whining jealous fools.

Why are Harley Davidson motorcycles so expecive? I like HD motorcycles but they are so outrageously expencive. Some people say because they are made in the USA and since the labour costs here are much higher then abroad the company has to offer their products with a higher price tag. That is not necessarily true though since a lot of the parts are not even American and are just asembled here. So... what's the deal - why the price of a Harley is equal or even higher in many cases than the price of a car?!?

Harley Davidson ? The inventor of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle, Arthur Davidson, died and went to heaven. At the gates, St. Peter told Arthur, "Since you've been such a good man and your motorcycles have changed the world, your reward is, you can hang out with anyone you want in Heaven." Arthur thought about it for a minute and then said "I want to hang out with God." St. Peter took Arthur to the Throne Room and introduced him to God. God recognized Arthur and commented, "Okay, so you were the one who invented the Harley Davidson motorcycle?" Arthur said, "Yep, that's me." God said, "Well, what's the big deal in inventing something that's pretty unstable, makes noise and pollution and can't run without a road?" Arthur was apparently embarrassed, but finally he said, "Excuse me, but aren't You the inventor of woman?" God said, "Yes." "Well," said Arthur, "professional to professional, you have some major design flaws in your invention: 1. There's too much inconsistency in the front-end protrusions; 2. It chatters constantly at high speeds; 3. Most of the rear ends are too soft and wobble too much; 4. The intake is placed way too close to the exhaust; 5. And the maintenance costs are enormous!; "Hmmmmm, you have some good points there," replied God, "hold on." God went to His Celestial super computer, typed in a few words and waited for the results. The computer printed out a slip of paper and God read it. "Well, it may be true that my invention is flawed," God said to Arthur, "but according to these numbers, more men are riding my invention than yours."

Aren't Harley Davidson motorcycles smashing? I say, what an absolutely tip top machine the Harley Davidson is. By jove, those Americans really know how to be build motorcycles don't they. I had a spiffing afternoon riding through the estate on my Porsche V-ROD, golly, what fun it was! All my pals have them.Wiffy likes to ride his out on a sunday afternoon and watch all the jealous proletariat drooling over his iron horse. Soggy sometimes comes out with me for a ride, an afternoon spent putt-putting through the Downs is absolutely top hole.Soggy and i have got all the gear your know, oh yes, my butler says we look "really mean" when we're all togged up in our H-D gear.

What is considered high mileage on a Harley Davidson motorcycle engine? As a comparison, a car is considered to have "high mileage" if it averages I believe 15,000 miles per year, based on the year of the car. In other words, a 4-year old car should have no more than 60,000 miles on it otherwise it's considered as being a high mileage vehicle. What's the average mileage on an engine for a Harley Davidson motorcycle, per year?
I have a question about Harley Davidson motorcycles- please help if you have H-D experience? Hello from England! I'll cut straight to the chase. I passed my CBT and first rode a Honda C90 Cub. Then a Yamaha DT 125, which I have now. My Direct Access is in a fortnight as I now want to move on to bigger bikes. I love cruisers, and so obviously I've always looked towards H-D. The Sportster XL883L has caught my eye and is within my price range of £5000-£6000. All the others in the range are either too expensive or look too modern. Would the Sportster be a good choice- does it look enough like a true, timeless cruiser in the flesh, in your opinion? Does it have the famous H-D sound? Are H-Ds generally suited to the UK? The reason I want a new bike is so that I can start it off stock and modify it later if I wish, to my own specifications. I know some people hate H-D. Would a Triumph cruiser, like the America, be worth looking into? I want to stay away from the Jap moderls. Are cruisers in general suitable for a younger rider on their first 'big' bike? Is the performance novice-friendly? Any experienced and sensible insight welcome. Thanks!
Are you afraid of Harley Davidson motorcycles? Given, if our cars were that loud with blue neon lights rumbling neighborhoods in large groups.. we'd get pulled over like the gumball rally attempting America in thier exotic cars. What makes them legal on thier machines.. some with no suspension? and most with straight pipes going beyond 90 decibals. What a threatening joy (sarcasm) to sit beside, or behind them at a redlight, as most don't hesitate to yell over thier machines' noise "Sh*t, ass, f*ck, p*ss, or c*nt" in ways I never thought possible. That is not America. That is jackasses on bad machinery. If they are claiming to be some kind of pride for thier country, oh so tough... why don't they care for people around them? I hope a "tough guy" harley davidson fan responds with an intelligent quotient legible enough to read and understand. I really want to know... what is your purpose to be so "scary" ? I am a disabled veteran. I have got a problem with you. I just enlisted in my local American Legion post, and I don't like bikers

Harley Davidson motorcycles - why??? Why oh why oh why do so many fat middle-aged men think that Harley's are "cool"? There's a Harley showroom near where I live, and every Saturday, regular as clockwork, several dozen aging, greying old men get dropped off at the Harley place by their wives IN FULL LEATHERS and then proceed to "hang out" looking at those travesty of motorcycles before being picked up again an hour or so later. Best of all though, they all have top-rockers proclaiming their allegience to a certain "chapter". Do these guys think they're the Hell's Angels? They just look very very sad indeed. Are you one of the aforementioned "bikers"? If so, why do you do it? Have you no shame or taste? If you want to ride motorbikes, that's cool, but for God's sake, get a DECENT bike. No one thinks you're the Hell's Angels - you are all far too sqeaky-clean, and I'm pretty sure that the half-dozen or so Angels that I know would either find it hilarious, or would be very insulted. PS - to all the Americans - this was actually posted in the UK section.... Why are you all so defensive? It's the people, not the bike. Or rather, a specific set of people. I just love the guy who started his response with "punk". Oh shit, I'm sooo scared. And as for that "drop me off at a Harley bikers bar" just made me howl with laughter. Fat, middle aged men just arent scary. Still, got a decent response, mainly from rednecks I guess. And for the record, I don't ride a bike since I got "Volvoed" off my Ducati a couple of years back when I was back in the UK on leave, having finished a tour in the middle-east. Difficult to ride with one leg and an arm that won't work properly!
