Have you ever said to yourself, “man, I would give so much to be able to ride a real electric mountain bike powered by wonderful Harley-Davidson electronics and technology”? Nope? Neither do I…

Well, it doesn’t matter anymore whether or not you had that thought, because now you can donate around $4,500 for just that!

That’s right, Harley-Davidson recently abandoned the Series 1/MTN Switchtheir first full front suspension e-MTB, featuring an SR Suntour suspension fork, TranzX dropper post, SRAM SX Eagle 1×12 drivetrain and Michelin all-terrain tires.

With just engine power, this bad boy can reach up to 20 mph, hitting higher speeds with the help of the pedals. And, with its large battery, it can travel 30 to 95 miles before it dies.

So why should you buy this dope bike? I have no idea, I’m not a fan of electric mountain bikes.

If you want a bike that can get you up hills with little effort so you can enjoy cruising downhill, I’m not sure if this would be the best option since it only has front suspension ( I’ve tried going downhill with a hardtail, it’s really not that much fun) (plus, I’m not good at mountain biking, so my opinion probably shouldn’t matter to you that much) .

If you want a cross country mountain bike you probably shouldn’t buy one with a motor because that kind defeats the purpose of cross country mountain biking, and if you just want an e-bike to help you get around, I get a feeling that might be a bit too beefy.

But I guess if you’re a big Harley-Davidson fan and you’re a big ATV fan, this might be the option for you! I don’t know how many people out there who love these two things so much that they would buy a combination of them…

That being said, I’m waiting for a video of a squid going to a Harley-Davidson meet on one of those electric mountain bikes, only to walk off out of sheer embarrassment or get the boot by a looking Harley gruff boys.

Also, the bike ad below might be one of the funniest mountain bike ads I’ve ever seen, and I have to imagine the humor is in no way intentional…

No matter how talented a wrestler is, if his fellow wrestlers don’t respect him, chances are he won’t succeed in that promotion. The backstage heat has negatively affected many wrestlers in their careers, especially in WWE. Some lost their momentum because of it, while others even lost their jobs and careers.

RELATED: 10 Pairs Of Wrestlers You Never Knew Had Backstage Heat

If a wrestler has heat backstage, it usually means they did something they shouldn’t have done. But in some cases, these stars got in trouble for very minor mistakes. Most of them overcame it over time, while others didn’t do it very well.

ten Tyler Bate

At the start of 2018, Tyler Bate lost a series of matches in the space of a week. Dave Meltzer reported that this was due to him having heat backstage at WWE. Apparently he had fallen out of favor with WWE management NXT Takeover: Chicago in 2017.

WWE wanted to book Bate on the main tour, but the wrestler couldn’t accept their offer due to previous commitments. WWE also reportedly asked him very late to be a part of the show.

9 Enzo Love

While Enzo Amore was a popular character on WWE television, he was also very controversial. Amore was hated by most of his peers, including Roman Reigns.

On Keep it 100 with Konnan podcast, Enzo once said that he got a lot of heat backstage because of jealousy. While fans shouldn’t believe everything that comes out of Enzo’s mouth, if it were true, it was a very silly reason to get some backstage heat.

8 Matt the attacker

Matt Striker joined WWE in 2005 and had his first match against Kurt Angle on Smack down. Striker allegedly once told a traffic cop that Raw’s roster was way better than SmackDown (and he was on the blue brand).

At that time, the two brands were in competition with each other. When a veteran wrestler heard about it, he kicked Striker out of the locker room for disrespecting legends like The Undertaker, Eddie Guerrero and Mark Henry who were part of the blue brand.

seven The Miz

The Miz has become a veteran WWE wrestler now. He was one of the most reliable wrestlers in the business who would do anything he was asked to do. When The Miz first joined WWE, he had a ton of heat for being an underdog. Even after proving himself on the mic, The Miz still hasn’t earned everyone’s respect.

RELATED: 10 Things We Learned From The Miz & Mrs. reality show

He once got blasted for eating chicken off a referee’s bag and was even banned from the locker room by a certain wrestler for it. It wasn’t until The Undertaker asked him to use the men’s locker room that Miz started using it again.

6 Marc Mero

Marc Mero jumped ships from WCW to WWE in 1996. He was one of the first wrestlers to have a guaranteed contract in WWE. Mero said getting a guaranteed contract also opens the door for everyone else.

But initially, a lot of wrestlers were upset about it as well. Many talented stars joined WWE before him and they still didn’t have any kind of guaranteed income in their contract.

5 RTF

Sometime after FTR first joined AEW, they appeared on Jim Cornette’s podcast. There was an awkward silence among fellow AEW and FTR wrestlers when they arrived at the hotel the day after the podcast.

Most AEW wrestlers were mad at them for doing the podcast because of Cornette’s criticism of AEW. But Dax Hardwood and Cash Wheeler said they didn’t care.

4 Samuray Del Sol

Following Brodie Lee’s passing in 2020, many wrestlers paid tribute to him inside and outside the ring. Samuray Del Sol was among those stars who tweeted about Lee. He credited Lee for showing him AEW and giving him the strength he needed ahead of his first and only match in the company.

But he misspelled Brodie’s (Jon Huber) real name and got some backstage heat for it. Chris Jericho and Amanda even called him out on Twitter about it.

3 Chris Jericho

In July 1999, The Undertaker tried to end The Big Show with his promo, but it turned out to be truly awful. Undertaker explained how he took The Big Show to Death Valley and left him there with a Harley Davidson that didn’t have enough gas. He praised Big Show’s survival skills (he ate scorpions to stay alive) and his enormous strength (he slung the Harley Davidson on his shoulders).

Chris Jericho then interrupted The Deadman and called his promo boring. The goal was to draw heat, but the timing was unfortunate. While Jericho was supposed to call Undertaker boring in his promo, he still received heat backstage for calling him boring.

2 Mark Henry

In 2013, Mark Henry suffered a minor shoulder injury. Henry asked for some time off to recover from said injury, but it earned him some heat from WWE officials.

RELATED: 10 Things Fans Should Know About Mark Henry

They had planned for Henry to feud with Big E during the summer of that year and believed that Henry could have overcome the injury as it was not serious and did not require surgery. While Henry taking time off from wrestling changed some plans, his health should have been WWE’s top priority.

1 cesaro

Apparently, Cesaro had some heat backstage at WWE for a while over his comments about Cena vs. Orton in 2014. Cesaro said he was “sick of seeing John Cena vs. Randy Orton for the 500th time” and that he is excited about new talent and matchups.

Some WWE officials didn’t like this comment, and it caused Cesaro to lose a few matches in the company.

Knoxville, Tenn. (WVLT) – Dozens of bikers and Jeep owners turned out at Bootlegger Harley Davidson on Saturday afternoon to honor a couple murdered in 2007. Channon Christian and Chris Newsom were the two victims.

“Good kids trying to do the right thing the right way, and they were taken away way too soon,” Channon’s father Gary said.

“They never caused any problems. They were just in the wrong place at the wrong time,” said Lori, Gary’s wife.

Christian and Newsom were kidnapped after telling friends they were going to someone’s house to watch a movie. Authorities discovered that both had been sexually assaulted. Newsom’s body was found near the train tracks between the 9th and Cherry St. Channon’s body was found in a trash can two days after authorities found Newsom.

“We can never forget Chris. We can never forget Channon,” Lori said.

But that’s why Shepherds RC rides for torque.

“It’s one of Shepherds goals that has always been and always will be to help children,” Gary said.

They want to remember the couple and continue to provide for the needs of the children in the community.

Donations and raffles were held on Saturday. Proceeds from this will go toward a seminary scholarship.

The 2022 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Limited is a perfect competitor for the Indian Motorcycles Pursuit Limited Premium, two prestigious motorcycles that feature a similar profile with many additional features and luxury options.

These two heavyweights belong to the same category of motorcycles – luxury touring, but stand apart to share with you when it comes to choosing between the two. The Road Glide Limited has plenty of features to make its engine more efficient and effective while making the experience safe and fun with sound safety and infotainment features, respectively.

Most aspects are comparable, although the Indian motorcycles delivering more horses wrapped in luxury accommodations with its Pursuit Limited Premium. Read on to find out the similarities and differences between these two luxury passenger cars and which one stands out as the better one.

The 2022 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Limited takes the battle to the Indian Pursuit Limited Premium in this ironclad American touring showdown.

Harley-Davidson Road Glide Limited is a solid ride

When Harley-Davidson created Road Glide Limited, it was well received and had many notable features. At 3000 rpm, it produces 122 lb-ft of torque and 93 hp, and it gets 43 MPG in fuel economy. Additionally, the Road Glide Limited features a 4.5-inch stroke and a 10.5:1 compression ratio.

Its engine is a Twin-Cooled Milwaukee-Eight 114, and it features Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) for increased efficiency. Lights are ubiquitous on this model, making it easy to be seen at night and providing riders with some safety and helping them relax while enjoying a nighttime ride. Its multiple LED bulbs are 40 or 60 watt bulbs, more specifically, low beam is 40 watt and high beam is 60 watt.

The bike is equipped with rear LED indicators, as well as rear lights, brake lights and front signal lights. The bike is equipped with a main drivetrain and a 49mm double bend valve front fork. In terms of braking, the front brakes are dual floating rotors, while the rear brake is a fixed rotor.

Indian Motorcycles Pursuit Limited Premium steps up a gear

The Pursuit Limited Premium is, as the name suggests, a premium package that offers more than the base model. It has a stroke of 3.79 inches, which is slightly shorter than that of the Harley-Davidson Road Glide Limited. It has a higher compression ratio of 11.0:1. Its liquid-cooled Power Plus engine features an electronic fuel injection system with closed-loop fuel injection, and the engine produces 128 lb-ft of torque at 3800 rpm.

Moreover, the engine boasts 122 HP, which is much more than its Harley-Davidson counterpart. The Pursuit Limited Premium’s braking system is a dual radial four-piston caliper up front with a single two-piston caliper in the rear. A front fork suspension is used, with an inverted telescopic fork and a diameter of 43 mm.

Like the Harley-Davidson Road Glide Limited, it has many gauges to feed rider information. Additionally, alerts are provided via LEDs, such as cruise control, high beam on or off, turn signals, ABS, check engine, low oil pressure, battery and low fuel level.

2022 HD Road Glide Limited Packs Healthy Luxury Features

The Harley-Davidson Road Glide Limited has a decent number of nice infotainment features and secure safety features. With four 5.25-inch speakers tuned to play AM or FM radio, riders can enjoy whatever music or audio they want. These speakers feature 25 watts per channel and there is a USB connection so riders can plug in SD cards, MP3 players and thumb drives.

If that’s not enough for a pilot’s enjoyment, a Sirius XM upgrade is available in Canada and the United States. Bluetooth is standard, allowing riders to make and take calls hands-free, allowing them to focus on riding the bike and watching the road ahead.

Additionally, to give drivers a sense of security, anti-lock brakes (ABS) and electronic braking (ELB) are both included. Cruise control is also a standard option. Unfortunately, these options don’t come cheap; depending on the color palette, prices range from $28,729 to $31,874.

Indian Pursuit Limited Premium shines on the tech front

One of the advantages of the Indian Pursuit Premium is an elaborate infotainment package. It’s not as music- or audio-focused for entertainment as the Road Glide Special, but it offers an elevated experience in terms of luxury and functional connectivity. Apple CarPlay integration is part of the package, along with traffic and weather updates, plus navigation and maps. In addition to this, the 2022 models of the Indian Pursuit Limited Premium also offer a one-year free trial of RIDE COMMAND+, although pricing will apply once the trial period ends.

There is, however, a 200-watt audio system with Bluetooth and USB options. That said, a heated seat is also part of the package to help riders stay warm during rides in the colder months. In terms of safety, there are several driving modes, as well as cruise control and ABS.

The Indian also has a 35.8 gallon storage capacity, keyless ignition, heated grips and a power windshield, all of which are features that aren’t nearly as important or non-existent as the Road Glide Special. Unfortunately, price is also an element here: depending on the color, the Pursuit Limited Premium can cost between $14,999 and $16,399.

Road Glide Limited Vs Pursuit Limited Premium: The Ultimate Head-to-Head of Luxury Touring

The Indian takes the podium in terms of performance and driving dynamics. When it comes to luxury features, the Harley and the Indian are neck and neck here. The choice comes down to its price which, again, is aggressive in the case of the Pursuit Limited Premium. The Road Glide Limited is on the premium side. So if pricing is the deciding factor, then the Pursuit Limited Premium makes all the more sense.

Jeff Beck reveals details of album with Depp

Johnny Deppwho won a near-total victory in a defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife Amber Heard last week, and English guitarist Jeff Beck will release an album of mostly covers next month after going on stage together.

Called “18”, the 13-track album will be released on July 15.

“It’s almost like you’ve gone through a record store and you’ve gone from genre to genre,Beck told Reuters on Friday, saying they started working on the album at Depp in France.

“There’s a couple Motown, there’s a couple Beach Boy covers on … Sounds pretty good for a home recording. Depp and Beck have been recording music since 2019 for the album, which also features two original songs by Depp, who has his own band, the Hollywood Vampires. A song is about actress and inventor Hédy Lamarr.

“We slowly built songs that we love. We didn’t really design,” Beck said.

“He has…a very distinctive (voice) and he gets music and I hope I’ve allowed him to open up to songs that he wouldn’t otherwise be interested in.”

Beck said: “I hope I helped him a bit to have some kind of understanding and closeness and a joke, and to keep having fun.”

Beck was speaking on the sidelines of a blue plaque event honoring the late guitarist Jimi Hendrix at the London Hard Rock Hotel. The building was formerly the Cumberland Hotel, where Hendrix often resided before his death in 1970.

“It was one of the biggest voids left in rock ‘n’ roll,” says Beck.

Six men have been charged with possessing, supplying or importing various party drugs including ecstasy, ketamine, methamphetamine and mephedrone – known as ‘meow meow’ – after a long secret police operation.

Mephedrone, also known as White Magic or M-Cat, is a stimulant chemically similar to amphetamines and produces effects like ecstasy, cocaine, and amphetamines.

The six defendants were arrested by Waikato police yesterday after an operation which began late last year.

Eight search warrants have been executed in Hamilton and Auckland, including business premises, Waikato Police Detective Inspector Daryl Smith said.

“As a result, six men between the ages of 28 and 33 were arrested and all appeared in Hamilton District Court on Friday on a range of charges including participating in organized crime and selling and supplying class drugs. HAS.

“Police seized four vehicles, including a Harley-Davidson MC and approximately $80,000 in cash.”

Alex Noel Hustler, 28, of Taupiri, faces five charges: participation in an organized criminal group between December 21 and 22, 2021; importation of ecstasy, a class B drug, into New Zealand on November 15 and December 13, 2021 in Hamilton; the importation of ketamine, a Class C drug, into New Zealand at Hamilton on December 13, 2021; and failing to assist in a search by police in Hamilton on June 9.

Hustler was taken into custody by Judge Simon Menzies at Hamilton District Court today to reappear later this month.

Boxsey Pouaka Ngataki, 39, of Hamilton, also faces five counts, including participating in an organized criminal group and failing to assist in a search.

He is jointly charged with a 28-year-old former Hamilton man and Samuel Andrews, of Māngere, Auckland, of supplying ecstasy, ketamine and mephedrone on May 31 in Hamilton.

The 28-year-old, who has also been remanded in custody, faces a total of 17 charges, including supplying P, ecstasy, ketamine and mephedrone to Hamilton between the 23rd and the May 31st.

He is jointly accused with Andrews of supplying P, ecstasy and ketamine. The couple are also jointly charged with possession of ketamine for supply in Hamilton on June 9 and possession of P for supply on June 8.

Andrews, 33, who faces 11 charges, was also remanded in custody.

Jacob Gilchrist, 30, of Hamilton, faces four charges; participation in an organized criminal group, supply of ketamine and MDMA in Hamilton between April 1, 2022 and June 9, 2022 and possession of MDMA on June 9.

Gilchrist was released on bail without a plea to reappear with his co-defendant on June 30.

Smith said Waikato Police continue to investigate, target and dismantle groups involved in importing, selling and supplying illegal drugs within the community.

Police welcome information from anyone concerned about organized crime or the supply of illicit drugs in their community.

* The operation was separate from Operation Bali, in which Customs worked with police to arrest 10 people in connection with the alleged importation, sale and supply of cocaine and methamphetamine.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Star-Spangled Avenger Had One motorbike choice: a Harley-Davidson. Throughout the character’s tenure onscreen, he’s ridden everything from water-cooled Street 750 bikes to air-cooled Softail Breakouts. Here are some of the coolest Milwaukee motorcycles Captain America has ridden in the movies.

What kind of motorcycle does Captain America ride? The First Avenger?

Steve Rogers, or as he is better known, Captain America, rides a 1942 Harley-Davidson WLA “Liberator” in The First Avenger. In addition to fitting the aesthetic of the movie, the bike is a derivative of the WWII workhorse. WLA stands for Harley-Davidson High Compression Motorcycle and the “A” suffix stands for Military Use Motorcycle. So it was fitting that Rogers and his commandos got their hands on a WLA for their military operations.

However, this was no ordinary courier motorcycle. Captain America’s bike featured gadgets and accessories like a shotgun scabbard and mounting surface for his shield.

The Avengers: Harley-Davidson Softail Slim

The box office hit of 2012 The Avengers saw Captain America drive off on a low-key Harley-Davidson Softail Slim. Frankly, the Softail Slim was perhaps the perfect bike for the character at the time. The film involved Roger’s first mission after thawing out and trying to adapt to modern times. It makes sense that his bike is a retro-inspired callback to the bikes he would have ridden in the 1940s.

Which Harley-Davidson rode Captain America in? The Winter Soldier?

Steve Rogers rode a custom Harley-Davidson Softail Breakout in the 2014 film The Winter Soldier. The film continued Rogers’ character arc in modern times and called for a Harley-Davidson with updated styling. Specifically, it was a low-slung, modern, mean-spirited Softail Breakout with plenty of attitude and a 103-cubic-inch twin-cam engine. Although only on screen for a brief time, it feels like home with Rogers and the inexplicably empty streets of Washington DC.

Age of Ultron: Harley-Davidson Street 750

Captain America rode a Harley-Davidson Street 750 in both Age of Ultron (2015) and The Winter Soldier. Contrary to The Winter SoldierRogers started Age of Ultron charging into battle alongside his friends on the liquid-cooled bike. At one point, Captain America actually throws the motorcycle into a Humvee to defeat his opponents.

However, the Street family is a disappointing bike in the Harley-Davidson lineup. Small and underpowered, this seems like a poor choice for a battle-charging Avenger. Motorcycle News reports that the little Harley-Davidson only managed 44 lb-ft of torque.

What motorcycle does Black Widow ride in Avengers 2?

Although Captain America didn’t ride it, his teammate, the Black Widow, featured the all-new Harley-Davidson LiveWire in the second Avengers movie. Age of Ultron. The bike is a much sportier companion for a superhero than the aforementioned Street 750, with a claimed 0-60mph time of just 3.0 seconds. Plus, given the all-electric nature of the bike, it’s much quieter than the beloved sounds of Harley-Davidson’s twin-cam V-twin engines.

Why does Captain America ride a motorcycle?

Given Rogers’ comic book tenure and his cruiser bikes, it seems only fitting that he rides in the movies. Plus, Harley-Davidson seems like a fitting mount for the veteran, given the company’s World War II connection to the U.S. military. Web Bike World says Harley-Davidson contributed nearly 90,000 WLA motorcycles to the war effort during the time the fictional fighter was reportedly in Germany.

As a brand, Harley-Davidson has one of the largest and most fervent fanbases in the world, and every one of those fans will have an opinion on what the best Harley really is.

Even objectively, those of us who aren’t necessarily interested in the brand or the bikes they make will have some sort of opinion. They are simply iconic and have become as much a motorcycle brand as a cultural icon.

With all that in mind, there’s no way we’re committing to a number one, you’ll have to decide, but these are 10 of their most iconic machines that every motorcycle enthusiast should ride at least once. in his life.

ten 1936 EL “Knucklehead”

Until the 1930s, most motorcycles, including those made by Harley, looked like bicycles with small engines (i.e. mopeds).

Motorcycle design made quite a dramatic change at the time of the EL’s launch, and it was arguably one of the first “modern” motorcycles in that regard. Its “Knucklehead” engine was its most distinctive feature, however, and the moniker stuck.

9 1942 W.L.A.

You could make a pretty strong argument that this was the first-ever dual-sport bike, only it rode through battlefields, not trails on a Sunday.

It was truly a war machine, a tool used by the troops to good effect. It also became the most widely modified motorcycle after the war, as it was an affordable army surplus motorcycle.

8 1957 XL Sportster Ironhead

By the end of the 1950s, Harley had become one of the biggest motorcycle manufacturers in the world, but these big Ironhead motorcycles were the motorcycle equivalent of “no replacement for displacement”.

It turned out to be a rather popular model and philosophy, as these bikes remained in production well into the 80s with only minor revisions and updates.

seven 1958 XLCH Sportster

As the pressure mounted on Harley to get more performance out of their bikes as British manufacturers got a head start, Harley delivered on their promise with the Sportster.

The Sportster has been an integral part of their model line ever since, going through several different design phases, but that’s where it all started.

6 1958 Duo Slips

Up until this point in history, the rear suspension on Harleys was entirely in the seat. It was their first bike that incorporated rear shocks.

Not only that, but they were also adjustable. They had three settings, solo, heavy rider (for tall people) and two…although the passenger would have to live without the spring seat and settle for regular foam.

5 1965 Electra Glide

Although you had to tick a few option boxes, this was arguably the first-ever dedicated touring bike.

Checking the right options would give you a larger tank, luggage and a passenger seat if desired. The fact that Elvis bought one didn’t hurt their sales.

4 1970 XR-750

Arguably the best Harley ever made. It was a competition machine and if you wanted to be competitive on the flat track circuit in the early 70s, you needed it.

As famous as he was for his racing exploits, he became even more famous as the bike that Evel Knievel chose for its high-octane stunts and jumps. The lack of front brakes was a committed approach.

3 1983 XR-1000

Harley had its biggest meltdown in the 70s, bikes from that era became infamous money pits and are now worth pennies on the dollar.

By the early 80s they were starting to shake off their unease, as was the whole automotive industry, and were starting to make decent bikes again. The XR-1000 was one of those, although it was a bit overpriced, it was a good high performance Harley.

2 1990 fat boy

The fat boy has to be the most aptly named motorcycle ever madebecause it definitely has a bit more girth than the average Harley of the late 80s/early 90s.

He also shot to fame with his appearance in The Terminator, with Arnold Schwarzenegger’s huge frame looking decidedly fitting for this Fat Boy. A product placement lesson if there ever was one…

1 Buell XB12S/R 2006

Ok that’s a bit of a zinger, but back in 2003 Buell was 100% owned by Harley-Davidson, and the Lightning is still the only sportbike they dared to make (unless you include the very limited production VR1000), although under another brand.

The XB12 is powered by a heavily modified Sportster engine, producing 103 horsepower and 84 feet of torque. We all know those bikes had their flaws, but we’d still love to ride the only Harley that isn’t actually a Harley.

WILLISTON — A Williston man has died from injuries received when his motorcycle hit a pickup truck north of Williston on Monday. He was the fourth person from North Dakota to die in crashes in the state over Memorial Day weekend.

North Dakota Highway Patrol identified the driver of the motorcycle as 24-year-old Brandon Burkemo.

According to the patrol, Burkemo, driving a 2003 Harley-Davidson motorcycle, was heading east on Williams County Road 6 towards the Love’s Travel Center intersection, north of Williston. A 2018 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck driven by Earl Ray, 63, Stanley, was facing north and turning left onto County Road 6 from the Travel Center. The motorcycle crashed into the back of the van. The accident happened at 10:35 a.m.

Burkemo was transported to CHI-St. Alexius Hospital, Williston, where he was pronounced dead. Ray was unhurt. The accident is still under investigation by the ND Highway Patrol.

Three other bikers died in the state on Saturday.

Brandon Cermak, 35, Fargo, died when he hit a sprayer on Highway 31 near Raleigh in Grant County as the sprayer was turning left.

Corey Volesky, 45, and Amber Krause Volesky, 40, both of Wyndmere, died when a pickup truck hit their motorcycle in the rear as they slowed to exit the freeway on a county road in Richland County.

“Can I tell you something? I am so impressed with how fast and nimble this bike is. It has a different personality than any Harley I have ever ridden, but it still flies perfectly,” says Axle Whitehead – motorcycle enthusiast, actor and singer – who recently put Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 Special through its footsteps, taking it through Victoria and South Australia for a driving experience like no other.

That Pan America’s offering would be outside of what you would traditionally expect from Harley-Davidson was clearly the brand’s intention from the start of development. Built on a foundation of endurance, exploration and adventurethe bike is loaded with premium features designed to maintain comfort and control in the harshest environments.

As Victoria and South Australia have this kind of difficult terrain in spades, Whitehead decided to leave his home an hour north of Melbourne and drive west towards South Australia’s Flinders Ranges: “Once I got my hands on the bike, I thought I had to see what the limits of this thing are. I had already experienced how amazing it was on asphalt, but I had to see how it behaved on dirt.

Towards the hinterland

His ultimate destination was the Prairie Hotel – a beautiful venue in the town of Parachilna owned by his friend’s family and resembling the archetypal outback pub thanks to its striped tin roof and red dirt parking lot. . Once there, Whitehead could plan day trips through the Flinders Ranges and really test Pan America’s mettle. So he mapped out a route that would take him through Victoria and into South Australia, making sure he allowed a quick visit to the Clare Valley to taste – as he puts it – “the best Riesling in the world”.

After stopping to help out at his brother’s Hamilton farm for a few days, Whitehead began rolling northwest, eventually reaching Clare around noon the next day, where the combination of the atmosphere of the city and the easy ride of the Pan America saw him lose track of time.

“I found myself distracted in Clare in the best possible way. I became really engrossed in this town and the joy of just being on my bike and rolling around in the vineyards, having fun,” he explains. “Then I realized that time was getting short and I had better get on my way, as I still had four or five hours to go. So after leaving Clare, I found myself navigating a daydream within myself. saying, is it wonderful?”

Wrong way

Sadly the pleasures of the road are best enjoyed when driving in the right direction and after a few hours Whitehead looked at a sign saying he was 150km from Adelaide, triggering the realization that he was heading in the wrong meaning. one from Claire.

“I pulled out the map and realized I had been heading south for about two and a half hours in a PanAm induced reverie. I absolutely kicked myself. I turned around and absolutely took off. Fortunately, I arrived at Parachilna just at dusk. All of this goes to show how a good bike can make you lose yourself in the ride.

Over the next week, Whitehead used the Prairie Hotel as a base from which to explore both the Flinders Ranges and Pan America’s capabilities. It is by traversing the many gorges of the region, by tackling rocky and sandy tracks alternately, that cycling has taken on its full meaning.

“It was a great test for me to get to know the bike, see what it could do and push it to its limits,” he says. “It was an extremely nice bike. He did absolutely everything I wanted and as I gained confidence he was with me every step of the way. I was really impressed with what he could do.

“I had ridden the same tracks before on a different bike and this time I destroyed two sets of tires in a week. With the PanAm I had no problems. It was inside and outside the tires were great and it did everything that was asked.

A new kind of Harley

Although designed to tackle tough conditions, Whitehead found the bike had a refinement that set it apart from previous Harley-Davidsons he had encountered. The responsiveness of the Max powertrain delivered power so smooth he says it was “like having a piece of fresh toast and evenly spreading a big dollop of butter and jam. It was so well placed and gave you a great feeling.

But does Pan America still have that unmistakable Harley-Davidson DNA? According to Whitehead, it does, and more: “It takes you to a new level. Obviously being an adventure bike you can tackle a wider variety of roads, and the fly- Harley’s by-wire really shines in this context. It’s definitely worth its weight in gold on this bike. So the PanAm definitely has essential elements of Harley’s DNA, but it goes deeper. It takes it to a place I was shocked by. It’s like nothing else.

Whitehead hopes the new bike will encourage more people to get into the adventure and he thinks that – thanks to the bike’s new Adaptive Ride Height (ARH) feature, which automatically lowers the seat height when stationary – the Pan America 1250 Special will make this experience more accessible. .

“I think it’s a really smart move on Harley’s part,” he says. “I know from the conversations I’ve had that there’s a big hurdle to adventure for guys who have a bit shorter leg. Unless you have a lot of experience and are comfortable riding a bigger bike that only leaves you with one foot on the ground, it can really sap your confidence.

Fortunately, Harley-Davidson’s unique adventure bike is now much easier to get to grips with, thanks to their MY21 Pan American Funding Offer.

“I just hope people embrace the PanAm and at least try it, because as soon as you jump on it, it really sells out,” Whitehead concludes. “You just can’t help but have a great time.”

Harley-Davidson announced last week (May 19, 2022) that its assembly and shipping of all vehicles would have to stop.

The suspension of assembly and shipping was scheduled for two weeks, which means that there are still six days before the resumption.

Harley-Davidson’s decision to halt assembly and shipments was due to “great caution, [and] is based on information provided by a third-party supplier to Harley-Davidson late Tuesday (5/17) regarding a regulatory compliance matter relating to the supplier’s component part,” according to a statement released by the American brand.

Harley-Davidson did not say which company provided it with the component compliance information, so it is impossible to say which area of ​​the production and assembly process was affected and caused the shutdown.

Harley however also stated that the issue does not affect LiveWire, Harley-Davidson’s electrical brand, so it might be possible to assume that the issue is with components within the combustion structures (engine, exhaust, fuel tank, for example) non-electric bicycles from Harley-Davidson.

The information was released by Harley-Davidson on its Investor Relations page, and the production break deadline is expected to see it resume next week, Thursday, June 2. The news came amid rumors of a 975 version of the Pan America adventure bike, and amid Nightster’s new UK tour, which is set to end tomorrow (May 28, 2022) after starting on May 12.
