Motorcycle Leathers Required For These Motorcycle Vacations!

Posted by admin On February - 25 - 2009

Motorcycle Vacation Spots

One of the greatest things about owning a motorcycle is the chance to just pick up and go anywhere you might like to go. With the right motorcycle vacations, you will be able to do just that. There are lots of different motorcycle vacations that you can choose from, and each of them will leave you breathless and excited. Going on a motorcycle vacation with your spouse or your friends can be an exciting and wonderful way to enjoy your vacation. The trick is knowing where to go and when you would like to be there.

Black Hills, South Dakota

One of the most scenic areas in the world is located in the western most point in South Dakota. South Dakota is already known for their sparse population and friendly people, both of which make for an exciting summer time vacation. In the middle and late summer, motorcycles descend on small towns in western South Dakota – namely for the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.

The Rally in Sturgis – which really ends up being a Rally in all of the Black Hills, is an exciting time to be there with your bike and with your friends and family. You can visit shops and pick up bike gear, hang out with other bikers, or simply enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by people just like you. However, if you aren’t into the crowds, you can visit the Black Hills in the early summer – many people who visit the rally like to come early or stay late to enjoy the solitude that South Dakota can bring.

There are dozens of great rides to take in the Black Hills – including going up Needles Highway, driving out to Mount Rushmore, and simply enjoying the sights.

New England In The Fall

For an altogether different type of motorcycle experience, you can take in New England in the fall. It isn’t near as crowded as being in South Dakota might be, but the sights are nonetheless spectacular. You’ll drive through broad two and four lane highways and through beautiful foliage. It is easy to get lost in the back roads, and that might be just what you are looking for in this amazing countryside.

There are plenty of great quaint towns to visit along the ride, and there are also lots of great sights to see. You can stop in for some clam chowder or lobster stew along the way, and bundle up next to a fire in a different bed and breakfast lodge each night. No matter what your travels take you, the fall in New England is spectacular – with beautiful bright trees, warm sunny days and nights with the cool and crisp edge in the air.

California Wine Country

For a winter getaway, or at any time during the year, you might want to consider going to California Wine Country. Being in Wine Country in California is exciting because it is one of the great vacation hot spots. You can take your time driving through the winding, mountainous roads, and stop at wineries along the way. Of course, you want to leave yourself ample time at each Winery to sample the wines and rest for awhile before getting back on your bike!

Traveling through California Wine Country can be great because it is a way for you to enjoy that California sunshine all day long, while still being out on your bike and doing something that you love to do. It is a fantastic way for you to spend a week, or perhaps two, and you can take this type of trip at any time during the year.

Any one of these amazing vacations can be a great way for you to get out and see the sights that the United States has to offer. However, there are also motorcycle vacations that you can take all over the world. Chances are good that at any time of the year, in any place you’d like, you’ll be able to find exciting and fun motorcycle vacations that seem like they were created just for you! No matter what you choose, you know you’ll have a fun and exciting time with your motorcycle vacations.

So get out your road map, dust off your motorcycle leathers, pull on your leather boots, buckle up that motorbike helmet and get ready to ride. But don’t forget to pack your camera because there is going to be plenty of photo opportunities for you to share this summer.

Where can I find a certain Harley Davidson shop?

Posted by admin On February - 24 - 2010

I am looking for a certain Harley Davidson shop. Ive googled and still cant find what I am looking for. I am looking for a Harley Shop specifically Tim’s Timmy’s or Timothy’s Harley Davidson. I appreciate any help.

http://www.timmsharley.com/

If this isn’t the dealer you want, see below.

http://www.harley-davidson.com/DE/LOC/en/DealerLocator.asp?LL=en-US&AD4=USA&locale=en_US&bmLocale=en_US

Use the link to HD’s dealer locator. You will need to know what state it is in.

"The 28 Buell and Harley-Davidson motorcycles will first be shipped to the Motor Company’s Dominican Republic dealership organization MagnaMotors before being delivered to the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti.
The motorcycles will be used by for disaster relief and stabilization efforts in the Caribbean nation. Haiti suffered an earthquake Jan. 12, and several countries and organizations have offered humanitarian aid. The donated motorcycles will later remain as a permanent donation to the government of Haiti."

Unless they’re sold at auction and the proceeds donated, would this really help?

Haiti is an underdeveloped country with bad roads, many of which are blocked by earthquake debris. The Harleys will be completely out of their element there outside of the cities, and even there, it looks more like dual-sport country. Looks like a bonanza for corrupt public officials and the Motor Company.

Motorcycle Leathers………….?

Posted by admin On February - 13 - 2010

Does anyone know where my hubby can get some leathers from please? He is slightly bigger than the ‘normal biker’ and we can’t find any leathers to fit him across the chest, leg or waist. If anyone has any info on made to measure leathers or a shop which can cater for slightly bigger bikers i would really appreciate the info. (He is not fat just broad and short legged and has a slight beer belly) Please, no rude comments. We are in Essex. Thank you. xx

There are plenty of places you can go and get made-to-measure leathers. The nearest to you would probably be Cissbury Leathers. They have a shop in Findon Village in Sussex see this web site – http://www.cissburyleathers.co.uk/index.asp?currency=GBP
Others are
BKS – well repected and highest quality

can you make a good living as a Harley Davidson Salesman?

Posted by admin On February - 9 - 2010

What is the average income for a Harley Davidson salesman? I am assuming that they work on commission. Are people buying motorcycles in this economy?

How much you make and how the commission structure works would depend on the dealer. The dealerships are individually owned, they aren’t owned by Harley Davidson themselves.

Typically the winter is REALLY bad for selling motorcycles.

In my opinion, the market fell off for HD about 4 years ago. The market is saturated with low mileage used bikes, why would anyone buy a new one? The dealerships around my area used to get $3K-$5K over MSRP on the new bikes. Now they asking MSRP and I’ve known people who got bikes at under MSRP – that tells me they are starving. The dealers themselves are also offering incentives for customer loyalty, which is unheard from an HD dealer.

Again, I think this depends on the dealership, but I’ve noticed that the dealer I frequent has a lot of turnover with sales reps.

& not directly in the middle?

The first motorcycle jacket was styled after a double breasted jacket, and those also have the ’side’ seam http://www.dancepants.com/images/Am_Smooth_Jacket_double_breasted.jpg
It’s a trend that was started by Perfecto as early as the late 1920’s. It’s fairly iconic.
That said, many motorcycle jackets do zip right up the middle.
It’s just a fashion thing.

Does anyone make a Harley Davidson blackberry skin?

Posted by admin On December - 27 - 2009

I’m looking for that rubber skin to cover a blackberry. I know there are lots of colored ones, but does anyone make one that can be customized or have Harley Davidson theme on it? If anyone knows, they would be a lifesaver. Thank you.

Where can I buy a Ford Harley Davidson hat online?

Posted by admin On December - 25 - 2009

I’m looking for a Harley Davidson F150 hat and don’t want to go through Ebay. Been searching high and low online; Harley stores don’t carry them and Ford no longer sells them through their main site. Any suggestions?
Yes, Ford used to make them, but has stopped. Thanks for the links–not quite what I’m looking for, trying to find a F150 Harley hat like the ones on EBay. I appreciate the help, though!

I am completing a thesis for my Masters program & I need to reach out to the Harley Davidson community to find out "What is the Harley Davidson organization doing to deliver value?
I love the varying ends of the spectrum that I am getting. Keep the answers coming and feel free to answer multiple times. I would also like to hear from the ladies in the HD owner’s life.

I am not a Harley owner, and have enjoyed 43 years of motorcycling without ever owning one. However, I have ridden plenty of them, enough to know that I don’t want or need one, especially at their price. A few of my rides on Harleys have been miserably uncomfortable, and I have yet to try one that did not drag hard parts at moderate, everyday cornering speeds. I have owned motorcycles that were bigger pieces of crap, but their price tags registered in the hundreds, not tens of thousands of dollars.

The Harley-Davidson does not deliver value, but it does a great job at creating the illusion of value, and there are plenty of suckers to lap it up. God love ‘em, though. If they all wanted the bikes I like to ride, it would only drive up demand.
