HARDLY DANGEROUS Hitting the Links in a Harley-Davidson Golf Cart



If you watch a TV show or a movie, groups of motorcycle riders are typically shown to be gruff, crude, and ready to commit violence. However, in real life, most motorcycle riders are law-abiding citizens who pay their taxes. Some of them may even enjoy an occasional round of golf. If you happen to be that type of biker, a cart like the one you see here should be right up your alley.

In what seems another life time ago when I was a golf pro in the 70's I had a fleet of Harley rental golf carts. The club I worked at had a course lay out that wasn't good for electric carts so we had gas Harley's. If my memory is right I would adjust the govenor and they would really fly. I actually only did it to my personal cart because I didn't want the members getting hurt.

 

Yep, I remember when Harleys were the top of the line golf carts at golf courses. Then came EZ-Go & Yamaha.

 

a guy i work with has 3 of them. two 3 wheelers and 1 four wheeler. he finds them, pays $100 for them then fixes them up. it usually doesn't take much to get them running but they all need lots of cosmetic work. his son is a body shop guy so that helps. parts are readily available and easy to get.

 

My brother used to mess with em back in the day. For some reason he got rid of them and went the ezgo route.

 

We restored one. My wife didn't hit the links with it, but she did hit the neighbor's mailbox.

 

nope i was incorrect

 

AMF.


I had a '79 AMF Harley Davidson golf cart up until last year. It had "little moons" chrome wheels and a laid-back type design of golf bag holders - which is surprising that modern golf carts don't have, since they are really convenient and you don't need to strap 'em in to keep bags in place.


It was a great conversation piece of a golf cart - nobody around us had seen one in years. It wasn't much good on hills - up or down. Archaic brakes and not enough umph for going up hills around our place. Decided to sell it vs. spending a bunch of $$ on new batteries when the old ones stopped holding a charge.

 

........ man, that's really orange.
