Picture
of the month:
Surprises like these
on the countryside don't come often.
Harleys.de found this beautifully
restored BSA Goldstar at GLM in
Rheden, in Northern Germany. See
more below.
You ain't seen
nothing yet!
Just 15 miles South West
of Hildesheim there is
this unbelievable storage
of more than 50.000 new
motorcycle parts, which
are mainly for English
brands like BSA, Norton,
and many more (Try this link
to get there on Google
maps). And there is more
to find: folks, who
dedicated their life to
the restoration of classic
English and
also German motorcycles.

They
own a neat workshop, and a
"showroom" cramped with
classic iron, as there are
Nortons, BSA, Horex,
Triumph, which are either
for sale, or to be
restored in original
condition, or made up to
the customers
imaginations, though those
are to be discussed with
the boss Herbert Gubba
called "Herby". He amassed
30 years of motorcycle
knowledge and experience.
Meet Herby on the
Veterama in Mannheim
from October 6th to 8th this
fall, or visit their
Website here!
The site used to feature
three languages, just
check the navigation in
the upper left corner. The
website
offfers a PDF-
flyer to download
with
|
| the latest
GLM has to offer. Some
knowledge of German is
useful, when reading the
flyer, though all the
staff and Herby himself do
speak English very well.
GLM Motorcycles is always
worth a vist, do not
hesitate and drop by their
shop during your next trip
across Germany. They are
open from Tuesday to
Thursday, because they
need an extra long week
end to roam the nearby
Weserbergland with their
thumping English Iron. And
who can blame them?

Guatemala and Belize with
Maya-Tours.
Whoever has the chance, go
for it!! You won't be
disappointed, promised!

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.
