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.

Rauchs Café and Bar

.....is the place for the those guys, who can't leave their bike home and even ride in steady drizzle. Sure they know what to expect at Rauchs Café: the best coffee in the town of Bremen, Germany.

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.

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.
