Harley Davidson: Fit For A Prince

Harley DavidsonKate Middleton’s brother-in-law was spotted cruising on a Harley yesterday. He was heading down to Las Vegas to enjoy everything Sin City has to offer. He stopped at a Harley-Davidson dealership in Scottsdale, Ariz. to rent a bike so he could enjoy the desert sun while out riding. “He wasn’t too picky on what kind of Harley he got to ride, he just wanted to ride”, is what the owner of the dealership said. He did look around a little though, but he made it known that he was just shopping, not going to actually purchase anything. Maybe he changed his mind after he realized how well a Harley rides when he was cruising the strip in Vegas.

Harley Is Seen Around The World

I bet you never thought you would see a Harley cruising in the Holy Land! Well, recently that is exactly what took place. A group of Christian Harley Davidson lovers from all over the United States made the trip with their bikes to take part in their own style of pilgrimage to Israel. The group of about 70 riders was mostly made up of motorcycle enthusiasts from Texas and they passed out grape juice and crackers to the crowd of onlookers that eventually formed when they made their first big pit stop. Many tourists stopped to pose for pictures with the Harley crew, and they gladly posed for the camera. Who knows where Harley will be seen next!

Harley Davidson Is Hitting The Brakes

It was recently announced that there has been a problem found on some Harley bikes that causes the brake lights to stop working, or may even cause the rear brakes to stop working all together. Documents were filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration last week that provided evidence showing that the switches are too close to the heat coming off of the exhaust system. The extreme heat is what has lead to the brake light issue, and has been know to cause fluid to leak out, which makes the rear brakes stop functioning. This little bump in the road for Harley Davidson is estimated to cost around $10-$12 million. If you own a Touring, Trike, or CVO model from 2009-2012, you may want to have it checked out because local Harley dealers are installing a rear brake replacement kit for free!
