Picture
of the month:
George, a passionate sailor
and motorcycle rider, owns this
beautiful 1973
1000cc Ironhead.The
bike is slightly tuned and delivers 80hp at the
rear wheel. Unfortunately George did not have
the chance to ride her lately. We hope,
that he will find some time to get this bike
back on the road, roaming
freely
across the Black forest,
or around the Bodensee
in Germany. Click into

The
Outperformers
Back
in 1972 Harley Davidson
was still owned by
AMF. Nevertheless
inside their
1972brochure they
introduced the FXE 1200
with a wonderful
pinstriping in red white
and blue on black
fenders. The bike became
presentable, ready to
ride it to the late show
at your downtown
theatre. It was called
"The Midnight Express"
and is extremely hard to
find. This is the only
picture, which I could
google and it is taken
from a reduction of the
brochure. I hope I can acquire
the original flyer to
come up with a closer
view.

Quote
of the month:
"The
Buddha, the Godhead,
resides quite as
comfortably in the
circuits of a digital
computer or the gears of
a cycle transmission as
he does at the top of
the mountain, or in the
petals of a flower."

Nice
device
Old
Harleys are precious collectors items. They
are sought after like never before. The old
style padlock at the lower end of the
headset, and the easy to manipulate ignition
switch is not a big deal for an interested
thief. Both they are not tamper-proof.
If you are just over to warm your preferred
peaches, and have to park your sled outside
on the street, there is a solution. It is
unobtrusive (without the red key) but
effective. Press the red key towards the
bike, turn it to the right, and remove it. The
main power cable
will be
interrupted, the bike will not start. Some
folks call it immobilizer. This is not
true though, as long there is a truck and
some accomplices around. But it may help!
Harleys.de
is proud to
sponsor the View Society, which is
supporting underprivileged children in
Thailand. The
society is recognized by the government
of Germany. Donations are taxdeductible.
