Harley-Davidson

Harley-Davidson: "'We are constantly improving and modernizing the machine,' Schmidt comments, 'yet every model retains the classic components. That's what our customers want, and that's also, I believe, what sparks the strong emotional attachments that Harleys generate.'
These elements have been part of Harley design almost since the company's beginning in 1903. In the ensuing 93 years, the company has been building the things of which dreams are made - rumbling muscular machines that owners claim liberate and transform them as if by magic."

Harley-Davidson

Harley-Davidson: "As it should. After all, a Harley-Davidson motorcycle is more than just a mode of transportation or ordinary product. It's an American icon that is much loved and recognized around the world. So, while the Harley-Davidson Motor Company is dedicated to continuous innovation, it has opted for evolution more than revolution to carefully preserve the elements that make a Harley distinct - the trademark V-twin engine, the teardrop gas tanks and oversized speedometer, among other styling details."

Harley-Davidson

Harley-Davidson: "Just mention the word design and the guys at Harley move closer. Their eyes sharpen, and right away they want to know where you're coming from. Make no mistake, design carries a unique, time-honored definition at Harley-Davidson, America's oldest and most renowned motorcycle company. 'Everything about us starts with the motorcycle,' says Ken Schmidt, Harley's director of communications. 'When we speak of design our minds turn immediately to the bikes we build and the reasons our customers love them.' "

Harley-Davidson

Harley-Davidson: "Perhaps more than any other 20th century product, the Harley-Davidson motorcycle is revered as an American icon - a symbol of free-spiritedness, love, and a verve for living life with all your senses. While this gives Harley marketing advantages, it carries the responsibility of upholding the qualities that customers identify as the essence of Harley."

Harley-Davidson | HOG | Member Events | What are Events | Touring Rallies: "If riding is what you want most from a rally, a H.O.G.� touring rally should be high on your �to do� list once you become a member. Some rallies will take you from one spectacular place to another over the course of several unforgettable days, or even a week or more. Or, you might start and finish at the same point, stopping to sleep and/or take part in various activities at different locations along the way.

A touring rally generally allows for a smaller, more intimate group than does a stationary rally. And there�s no better way to get to know people than to share a journey with them. So whether it�s a national, state, or international tour, you�ll get in plenty of riding, see a lot of great sights, and make many new memories with people who share your passion for riding."

2004 Harley-Davidson Road King Custom Review

2004 Harley-Davidson Road King Custom
www.biketestusa.com
6/3/2004
By Brian Korfhage

"The Road King Custom oozes style with a set of leather hard bags, a wind-swept chrome headlight shroud, and a low-slung bad-ass look.
Few motorcycles can grab the attention of the general public like a Harley-Davidson. Park an exotic high-performance superbike next to an American-made cruiser bearing the black and orange badge and nine out of 10 people will gravitate towards the chrome and steel of an H-D."

Harley trade-ins brisk, but not always lucrative

Harley trade-ins brisk, but not always lucrative

By JEANNE MORRIS
Sunday News Staff
The Union Leader and New Hampshire Sunday News - 22-Jun-04

"At the end of Bike Week, David Karp, manager of Lee Custom Cycles in Lee, expects as many as 40 Harley riders will come to him wanting to trade in their Sportsters because they got the itch for a bigger bike.
A lot will be disappointed.
...those looking for highly desirable models such as a Road King will mostly likely still have to wait — and pay more than the suggested retail price. "

CUSTOM RIDE: WEST FRANKFORT MOTORCYCLE COMPANY IS THE ONLY LICENSED MANUFACTURER IN ILLINOIS
The Southern Illinoisan - Business -
BY MICHAEL A. THOMAS
FOR THE SOUTHERN
[Sat Jun 19 2004]
"WEST FRANKFORT -- Two West Frankfort men think the television show 'American Chopper' has been a boon to the custom motorcycle industry and, if they have their way, Steelhorse Choppers of Franklin County may soon be as well known as its Orange County counterpart on the Discovery Channel's popular show.

David Batts and Terry Brooks of West Frankfort met when Batts was doing some custom lettering for Brooks' musical entertainment business. The men discovered they had a mutual love of motorcycles and bought some used bikes together at a local dealer."
