A rare breed
Lately in Samut Prakan, a part of
Bangkok we stumbled over a motorcycle, which
looked a kind of strange...!

Taking a closer
look it turned out to be a Janda, a Jawa with a
125cc Honda engine inside. Click into the
picture to see more of this beautiful piece of
junk.
The
Cowbell
Harley has
changed every single part of their motorcycles,
but one thing never changed. The very
famous
horn, also called cowbell can still be found on
some of the 2018 big Twins. Besides it is an
essential accessory for Thai riders, as it is
believed, that the cowbell wards of evil spirits
when riding.

Picture of the
month:

Lots of
chrome immaculate condition, Harley Davidson FXDI35
Dyna Super Glide the 35th Anniversary Edition is a
beautiful tribute to the FXE 1200 Superglide from
1971, and to the good old days, when roads where
almost empty, jobs could be found wherever you
wanted to stay for a while, and the price for gas
was affordable. You want to see the original? On the eastern outskirts of
Columbus, Ohio you will find the AMA Motorcycle Hall
of Fame right next to the Highway 70. Don't miss it,
as there is a lot more to look at. The exact address
is 13515 Yarmouth Dr., Pickerington,
Ohio 43147
What's in the make?
Find out by yourself! Where?
In the squeaky clean
Harley-lab of Ironwings in Loxstedt, near
Bremerhaven, Northern Germany. It is one
of those rare workshops you still can walk
in and look around.

Gerhard
is always willing to explain his works and
surely will give you a hint or two, how to
improve the performance of your American
Iron.
Roadking
2003
Some images of the last and
not anymore available Roadking
made

in 2003, the 100th anniversary of Harley-
Davidson. Today
all new Harleys feature even an electronic
fuel injection system, besides the
electronic ignition. Can you imagine, how
does it feel, when just one of these
devices fail on the Great Northern Highway
in Western Australia? No? You'd better
switch to the old style carb, contacts,
and the antique auto advance mechanism, or
move within the range of a Harley dealer,
or just stay at home.

Prepare your bike and
yourself..
..when you decide to do a
longer trip. Make sure you
packed that coleman
stove, which runs on unleaded fuel right
from the petcock. You want to be
sure

that you can do your own
coffee in the morning after a soaking rain,
or heavy partying. Three meters of florist's
wire is a must on every bike. You might have
to tie up a broken exhaust pipe, and it does
not even have to be yours. There
are always some small items, you do not want
to miss, like a cork
screw, definitely a mandatory tool everywhere in the South of
Europe. Besides some braided sheet rope,
always comes in handy, and it can be used
for your laundry, to secure a tent, and
the luggage as well. When riding through
hot countries like Thailand, Harleys.de
recommends to install an outlet from the
battery and keep a 12V cooler box on the
luggage rack. Make sure you've got a
decent lock on it.

Don't leave home without her.

Quote of the month
“Some people will tell
you that slow is good – but I’m here to tell you
that fast is better. I’ve always believed this, in
spite of the trouble it’s caused me. Being shot out
of a cannon will always be better than being
squeezed out of a tube. That is why God made fast
motorcycles, Bubba…”
- Hunter S. Thompson
