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 the
big twins of
today.
Her new home.
There she is, now waiting for me in West
Virginia. When
I come back, I will take her down again to
Mexico, to the coastline of Yucatan and to
the Pacific in the West.
I know that the current caretaker takes
her out once in a while, and keeps her in
shape.

Picture of the
month
Another
eye-catcher by 45' Forever is this
flathead. See more works from this
wonderful shop in San Jose, CA. They do
engines, repairs, and complete
restorations for very reasonable prices.
Those folks, like 73 old Ray,
who works on Harleys for 40 years, are a
dwindling species. If you visit them,
bring some beer. They do not know
nothing about the fine beers we do have
available in Germany, but may be it's
the better way, when they just stick to
Miller light. Then they won't forget,
which way to turn the axle nut. See more

Hungry at 7o
North and 100o East?
They are rare,
but they are out there. Riders
who love to cruise across South
East Asia. And halfway from
Singapore to Bangkok, they will
find a terrific place, to relax
and savour excellent Thai food,
for keen prices, The Fish
Kitchen! Park your sled just a
couple of yards away from
your plate!
 Harleys.de
strongly recommends to find
out their whereabouts, and check out
their food. You can find
them here on Google maps or on Tripadvisor.
Thai hospitality is
mandatory at the Fish
kitchen and the food is just
great and affordable. Don't
miss it!

Quote
of the month:
"Riding
a motorcycle on today's highways, you
have to ride in a very defensive manner.
You have to be a good rider and you have
to have both hands and both feet on the
controls at all
times.
- Evel Knievel-

Go far faster...
once a slogan of Norton,
today the catchword of the producer of
this motorcycle. The frame is made out
of the sustainable fever
tree or eucalyptus, the engine is not even
a Harley-Davidson chain saw. But the time
will come, when we all have to ride
something like this, with a small electric
engine, like the one from a lawnmower,
between our legs. No more thumping with
your girl on the bitch pad, no more the
freedom, you once felt on a roaring
Harley. Soon this will be gone forever,
and a fairy tale for our grandsons and
granddaughters!
Dedication that's all you
need..
...and some folks out
there, they just have it. They are closely
associated with history, but always open
for new ideas. They are not swimming with
the main stream, but enjoy their
individual way of life. One of those guys
is living in Haltom City, near Fort Worth,
Texas. He is working on Harleys for more
than 30 years. He despises the clinical
hygiene of those licensed dealers, and
their prices usually only being called up
in the houses of pleasure. With his
friendly attitude and his knowledge, he
will convince you to leave your bike there
for that little extra service or repair
job. You won't be disappointed. He is does
a great job, and for a very affordable
price. His name is Troy Nicholson and you
find him on facebook, just
search for Lightning Cycle Works.
