    Looking through the Harley Davidson catalog of motorcycles I can’t figure out what the specific differences are between the Dyna and the Sportster, such that the Dyna costs about $6000 more. What do you get for this extra $6000? Also, is the Sportster really just “a woman’s bike”? Are men who ride them mocked by other Harley owners?

    According to a news report, a certain biker bar in South Dakota was recently faced with a unique problem. A number of biker chicks were putting lipstick on in the bathroom after the ride to the bar. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints. Every night the maintenance man would remove them and the next day the biker chicks would put them back.

    Finally the bar owner decided that something had to be done. On a busy Friday night she called all the biker chicks to the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night. To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, she asked the maintenance man to show the biker chicks how much effort was required. He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it.

    Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.

    When you think of Harley Davidson, you probably associate them with their century old tradition of making a different kind of bike. Even in today’s models, you see old-school HD at it’s finest. The technology used a hundred years ago is much different that today, and Harley has kept from making new technology a staple of their success.

    That’s about to change. At least on the inside. Harley Davidson is slowly starting to use technology that they have previously shunned. I’m talking about things like stock cruise control, ABS, and electronic throttle. Keep looking for more wide-spread technological updates for your Sporty. They’re coming. Slowly.

    I’m sure there will be some hold-outs that will continue to refuse to accept advances in technology, claiming something to the effect of “Who needs technology? My ride has been doing just fine for decades!” Fact is, you don’t need it if you don’t want it. But it sure is nice to have more confidence when your riding, and that’s what technology does.

    According to Frost Illustrated, H-D recently paid tribute to one of the nation’s earliest established African American Motorcycle Clubs, the LA DOs. Established in 1957, The LA Defiant Ones had the pleasure of Harley-Davidson Motor Company joining in with 5,000 motorcyclists and clubs in a weekend long celebration honoring The LA DOs 50th anniversary.

    Highlights of the reception included a special tribute to the club showcasing a visual portrayal that spans their 50 years of Harley- Davidson motorcycling; special awards and tributes to the club founders and living retirees; presentation of a Certificate of Appreciation for long-time commitment to the Harley-Davidson Brand.

    H-D also paid tribute to 15 retirees from the LA DOs with jackets and a signed letter from Willie G and Bill Davidson.
