What’s the Dumbest Thing You’ve Done With Your Bike?

This is probably a good opportunity to mention I’m no rocket scientist—but I’d rather be lucky than smart. Since I like my spinal cord and—aside from occasional the Monday—I’m quite happy to be above ground, I’m extremely careful on the road.

What Recall? Harley-Davidson Sees Profit Jump 20% in Third-Quarter

While the recent recall news—impacting clutches on 30,000 bikes—and reports of incontinent liquid-cool twins might have given Harley some headaches, the latest figures from headquarters indicate the MoCo has been crying all the way to the bank.
