Dedication that's all you
need..
...and some folks out there,
they just have it. They are closely associated with history, and thus open
for new ideas. They are not swimming with the main stream, but enjoy their
individual way of life. One of those guys is living in Haltom City, near
Fort Worth, Texas. He is working on Harleys for more than 30 years. He
despises the clinical hygiene of those licensed dealers, and their prices
usually only being called up in the houses of pleasure. With his friendly
attitude and his knowledge, he will convince you to leave your bike there
for that little extra service or repair job. You won't be disappointed. He
is does a great job, and for a very affordable price.
By now you should know,
whom I am talking about. Yes you are right. It is Troy Nicholson, the
owner of Lightning Cycle Works. Find out more by clicking into the

work at Lightning Cycle Works
It
takes time, effort and patience to get an old Ironhead back on the
road, when that bike has been sitting for ten years in some dark
corner of a shed, and not being taking care of. But it is worth
it, when somebody can do it right.
Sometimes it
looks this way...
..when you
have a lot to do, and not the time to clean up. But who cares. Who holds
order is only too lazy to search.
True!

Parking
for us
All
of us have seen this or a similar sign somewhere already. But this
one is completely different. The sign is a downright lie. Click
into the photo and find out what will happen to your bike when you
park it underneath the sign. No matter what you ride, you will be
surprised.
Harleys.de
is
a proud sponsor of
the View Society which supports underprivileged children
in
Thailand.
And you should too, as the new invoices for the second school term
are almost due. Every single donor will have constant access
to the accounting online, and will exactly know how the money is
being spent.
The
society is recognized by the government of Germany. Donations are
tax deductible.
Tell us, do you have barbwire in your pockets?

Quote
of the month:
Once
you own a Harley, you do well not to sell it, as long as you live,
as it will make the perfect and mostly appreciated heirloom
for your son, guaranteed.

The thrill is gone.
More than forty years after the movie "Easy Rider" this era finally is over, though some
guys still think it will last forever. Meanwhile the older Harley dudes dwindle; some of
them keep their sled in shape and take it out for that sunny afternoon ride to their favorite
bar. At the most the once open roads are now crowded with cars, and jammed with
traffic signs. Your cornering abilities are restricted by speed limits, and the price for gas
skyrocketed. Decent riding is only possible in the very early morning hours during the
summer or in uninhabited areas, which are hard to find.
Today there is Sturgis and Daytona, as well as other suspicious events with thousands
of merchandise maniacs. Marketing specialists are ruling the scene. Under the pretence
of helping, charity runs primarily became serious businesses. Titties and beer is the
motto of the motorcycling masses. Apparel and accessories substitute the irreplaceable
spirits of the good old days.
But there are still some small rallies around, which are not published or completely
commercialized and only known to a handful of fabulous fellows with their motorcycles.
Just to name one, there is the Whitsun rally to Terschelling, one of the beautiful West
Frisian Islands just off the coast of Holland. On site you won't find a burning Japanese
motorcycle on a lamppost or the smell of a dull burnout, but a bunch of classic iron, as
well as a lot of experience and helping hands when in need.
Nevertheless, with this website we try to please those downright dudes who still ride their
Harleys and uphold the spirits of sharing and hospitality. And when you feel like taking
your sled out to ride across Europe, to enjoy its different cultures and beautiful
landscapes, like the Ardennes, the Asturias, the small winding roads through the Sicilian
mountains, check out the local weather forecasts at wunderground.com, and try to avoid
the rain..
