We bet you never thought that a Harley Davidson motorcycle could surf, did you? Well, think again because there was a Harley Davidson motorcycle found in British Colombia that came all the way from Japan, and investigators believe that it was the huge Tsunami that brought it over there. The license plate had been registered in the Miyagi Prefecture in Japan, and it just so happened to be one of the hardest hit areas when the Tsunami made landfall. Over 11,000 people perished, and tons of containers and white trucks were washed out into the sea. This is how it is believed that the Harley made it all the way across the pond into Canada. There was over 1.5 million tons of debris that washed away into the Pacific, and this beautiful bike was tragically one of many valuable things lost in the horrible tragedy. Hopefully it will end up in a museum somewhere because that’s exactly where it belongs.

Harley Davidson shows up in places you would never think possible, and this time we are putting Cuba on the Harley map. Harley Davidson motorcycles are known for what they represent, and that is freedom and the American way. That is why they are so popular in Cuba and have a huge following because the people of Cuba value independence. Recently, they had a Harley gathering where over 270 Harley Davidson motorcycles cruised the streets of Cuba together. What may surprise you is that most of the Harley’s that are on the roads in Cuba should actually be in a museum, but the people of Cuba actually use them just for transportation and recreation. Then, sometimes they all get together and like to show off their bikes, just like this last get-together they had. Just be sure to keep your eyes peeled for Harley Davidsons because you never know where they might pop up.

Well, what do you know. Harley Davidson motorcycles has one another award. Surprising huh? Andrew Ciancio took home the people’s choice award for his custom-built, beautiful Harley Davidson 90 Model Softail. It was during the Custom Bike, Car and Tattoo Show that is held every year at the Ky West Hotel. The event took play over the weekend of March 3rd through the 4th and is attended by hundreds of people each and every year. This isn’t the first award the custom Harley Davidson has won, though. On January 21st, Andrew took home the people’s choice award at the Shepparton Custom Bike, Car, and Tattoo show. This is because the bike is one of the most unique Harley’s you have ever seen, as you can see in the picture. Don’t think the awards are going to stop coming though, because Andrew will be entering it in more shows throughout the year.

If you’ve been out of the Harley loop so far this year and haven’t heard, they have two brand new bikes being put into production. They are the Harley XL1200V Seventy Two and The Fat Boy Slim. The Seventy Two has tires that are white-walled and big handle bars. It comes from Harley’s Sportser line of bikes and this means that they aren’t as costly as a lot of the other bikes Harley Davidson offers. The great thing about the handle bars is that they are actually pretty comfortable and and great for those long bike rides that everyone loves. The paint job also has pinstriping on it that is gorgeous. Not only that, but the engine is a classic Harley and you can tell this by the sound and look, but don’t think that means it isn’t modern. It averages about 50mpg and runs as clean as ever. These two bikes are definitely ones you should check out if you’re in the market for a new Harley Davidson motorcycle.

Rolling Thunder Inc. is doing a special motorcycle ride coming up in May that is going to take place all across the United States.

If you are interested in taking part, just visit Rolling Thunder Inc.’s website to find out more information and you to can ride for our veterans. We all know they deserve the attention that this event will bring!

Across the pond in Oxford, UK, a group of normally rough and tough bikers showed their soft side once again this year. They took chocolate and all kinds of goodies to the local hospital’s children’s cancer ward to pass it out to all of the kids. The Harley Owner’s Group rode in together on their yearly ride, which they’ve been doing for the past 8 years, to try and bring a smile to all of the children’s faces. They also passed out a huge amount of toys like coloring books, teddy bears, crayons, and everything else that kids are known to love. It is always a tough time of year for the kids, and that is why the Harley Owner’s Group dedicates so much time to gathering as many toys as possible to pass out each year. So keep this in mind the next time you see a big group of mean-looking bikers going down the road. Don’t always assume they are all big and bad!

There is a long list of celebrities riding Harley Davidson all throughout history. Let’s go through the list just for curiosity’s sake. First, there is Jay Leno. He is the proud owner of many Harley Davidson motorcycles and is constantly adding to his collection. He gets a kick out of working on the bikes themselves instead of hiring a mechanic to do the dirty work. One image that probably sticks out in your mind when you think about celebrities and their Harley motorcycles is Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda riding a custom Harley bike in the famous 1969 movie Easy Rider. That photo is still one of the most recognizable and sought-after photos of all time. Another huge Harley fan was Elvis Presley. Pictures of Elvis riding his Harley bikes are almost as popular as the Easy Rider photograph. There are many other famous Harley owners that include Mickey Rourke, Don Johnson, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Elizabeth Taylor, and Tina Turner, but they are not the only well-known people riding. During Governor Bill Clinton’s Presidential campaign, he posed next to a Harley. Who said President’s can’t be cool? Although, there is one celebrity who has not been seen riding a Harley. Her name is Megan Fox and I think many people would agree that we would all like to see her on a Fatboy. Which Harley Davidson boots would you like to see her wear?

The classic harness boot is forever. From bikers to cowboys, the style has been around for decades and will probably never go away. Which is a good thing, they offer protection and style across a plethora of markets and demographics. Harley Davidson has several harness boots in the lineup. Here is a list of the top 5 Harley Davidson Harness boots:

1. Mens Harley Davidson Boot Hustin in Black. (also available in waterproof or brown)

2. Mens Harley Davidson Boot El Paso in Black. (also available in brown)

3. Mens Harley Davidson Boot Delinquent.

4. Womens Harley Davidson Boot Ashby. (also available in brown)

5. Womens Harley Davidson Boot Auburn. (also available in brown)

The ladies love this new twist on the classic harness boot for women. The womens Harley Davidson Boot Ashby comes in black or brown and can be worn while riding or after riding. The full grain leather upper is supply but tough enough to support your foot while riding or walking. The 6 inch height allows for ankle coverage but does not bunch up with your jeans and or chaps. The Ashby has a zipper for easy on and off which is great for high insteps or bad knees. The light weight TPR lug sole and heel are great for traction but comfortable to walk in.

While most bikers only dream of having their own sexy movie star babe as a passenger, there is only one who can brag about being squeezed by Halle Berry, and that is Olivier Martinez. Of course, many ladies out there wish they could share some time on the same saddle with the French actor.
Berry and Martinez were photographed earlier this month while riding off on the saddle of a Harley-Davidson Sportster from a Los Angeles cafe at lunch. Berry was wearing a three-quarter helmet and visor, a pink leather jacket, jeans and motorcycle boots with a series of straps. Martinez was also fully equipped, which means they both put a great emphasis on safety.
