If you understand the title then this is a red letter day for you! If you don’t we will explain. The Tail of the Dragon is 11 miles and 318 turns of motorcycling bliss located between the Tennessee and North Carolina borders. Well it just got a lot better.

It’s here! This week’s edition of Friday Funnies means the weekend is just a short work day away. Today’s joke is as much an English lesson as a life lesson. On his 70th birthday, a man was given a gift certificate from his wife.

Transmissions were not yet available in 1912, but the Model X-8-A was outfitted with a rear wheel hub mounted clutch which was operated by a separate lever on the left hand side of the motorcycle.

Normally it’s never a good idea to let another person touch your motorcycle, but of course there are always exceptions to the rule.

For a period between 1955 to 1978 Harley Davidson made just about everything. Golf carts, dirt bikes, snowmobiles, mini bikes, small bikes, big bikes, and trikes. Today’s throwback ad highlights one of the little bikes that were made during this period the TX125.

So not only does this Harley look and sound good, but it also has a bit more pep in its step. There is little more that one could hope for. In fact, oct1949 refers to his Heritage as “the best bike I’ve ever owned.”

Over the last couple of days we have featured two very well done Street 750 customs. We have also shown a stunt video with a Street 500 and our friends at Ill conduct. Harley is definitely pushing these models to appeal to a different demographic and new riders.
