1. 2006 Harley Davidson FLHX/FLHXI Street
Glide Motorcycle
User Comments: Beautiful! With dyno tuning
my bike has almost 100 horses. I love my ride
and the power is salty. I’m completely
satisfied. Just can’t stay off it. Rides real nice.
This is a very comfortable ride. In stock form,
this bike does
Not have the rumble power of the Super G,
but, it’s nothing
that a little extra money won’t take care of.
Excellent!!
Love everything about this bike so far. Bike is
very balanced for it’s weight, rides smooth
could use more power, hopefully stage 1 will
help. No  regrets about buying this one.

2. 2006 Harley Davidson FXDBI Dyna Street
Bob Motorcycle
User Comments: Logged on over 250 miles
and I loved every mile. This bike rules! All of
the myths and legends about these bikes are
true and this one in particular has a lot of soul
and character. This bike is a bargain – a true
American Classic in a world of imitators.

3. 2006 Harley Davidson FLSTC Heritage
Softail Classic Motorcycle
User Comments: GREAT!!! Great in all  areas
except the bike does seem to vibrate at
speeds over 75. The new 6 speed
transmission would probably take care of the
transmission. Gas mileage has been around
35 MPG. / WOW! This bike is all I could ever
hope for in a
Harley. From the awesome styling to the 88b
engine. Got to love it! Harley. From the
awesome styling to the 88b engine. Got to
love it!
/ This is a Harley! So far it’s been everything
that I hoped for and more. The bike handles
well and the 88b has just the right amount of
vibration. I give it all five star ratings and would
give it six on quality. Harley’s aren’t cheap,
but, neither is the quality.

4. 2006 Harley Davidson FXDLI Dyna LOW
RIDER
User Comments: SUPER DYNA A+++++ This
is by far the
smoothest bike I have ever ridden. Great seat
comfort and the low center gravity make this
bike almost ride by itself. I definitely
recommend it to smaller bike owners who
wonder if they can handle a 600 lb motorcycle.
The big twin engine outperforms the Sportster
engine all the way.  BEST HARLEY! It has the
agility of the Sportster with far better control
and ride comfort. The six speed transmission
is the finest I have driven – butter smooth
from the first shift. Handling in curves is
absolutely effortless. All in all, the finest Harley
I have ever driven or will ever hope to drive.
Go out and get one!

5. 2006 Harley Davidson FLHT/FLHTI Electra
Glide Standard
User Comments: AWESOME HOG! I do miss
the quickness of a Sporty but the comfort and
handling of the EG sold me as  soon as I
came back from a test ride. At idle, the typical
Harley vibration, however, the twist of the
throttle and the EG is smooth as silk and loud
as hell. I think it is the best value for the money
even over a Road King. IMPRESSED! I can
only say that I should have bought an Electra
Glide a long time ago. The power is smooth all
the way through the spectrum. The stock seat
is great and I can ride for hours with no pain.
With the lowering kit I bought, the weight is
very manageable. I would
recommend this bike to anyone who is looking
for a rock solid bike ready to give years of
enjoyment. By the way, the advanced radio is
the way to go.

The History of HARLEY DAVIDSON &
The greatest motorcycle of all time.


In the world of motorcycling there is a
manufacturer and their bikes that stand out
over all the rest. Harley-Davidson motorcycles
are the best motorcycles in the world because
of heritage and tradition, the come back after
a difficult era, and the support from the bike
owners that is a carefully maintained cult.

Arthur Davidson and William S. Harley were
schoolmate friends that shared a mechanical
passion and strong desire to join the other
motorcycle pioneers. They rekindled their
relationship while working at the same factory
in Milwaukee. Together they began to study
mechanics focusing on motorcycle engines. In
1901 they had four engines designed and
ready to be fitted to bicycle frames. In 1903
the first Harley-Davidson motorcycles were
built. The brand appeared in ads and articles
describing the motorcycle that would become
a legend. Three motorcycles were produced
between 1903 and 1904 and were sold before
they were even built. During this time Walter
C. Davidson Sr. and William A. Davidson
joined Arthur Davidson and William S. Harley
and on September 17, 1907 the Harley-
Davidson Motor Company was officially
registered with the U.S. Trade and Company
Register Office. Want  to buy a  Harley

The management rolls were assigned at the
registration with Walter C. Davidson as
President, William A. Davidson as Vice-
President and Works Manager, Arthur
Davidson as Secretary and General Sales
Manager, and William S. Harley to serve as
Chief Engineer and Treasurer. Even though
the titles were assigned, each person could
intervene in all sectors. Want  to buy a  Harley

Harley-Davidson began participated in
motorcycle racing in 1904 and benefited from
commercial implications of the numerous
victories won by their bikes. It was not until
1913 that the company decided to establish
an official racing team. Early racers such as
Ralph Hepburn and Eddie Brink put Harley on
the track and won races with these machines,
later Joe Petreli and Red Parkhurst. Joe
Petreli first raced on an Indian motorcycle, and
then made a name for himself by racing
Harley-Davidson's. Harley interrupted their
racing from 1926 to 1931 and Petreli raced
for the Excelsior Company, which shut down in
1931. Petreli again race for Harley when the
company started their race teams back in
1931. Red Parkhurst became a big winner for
Harley and had a long career of motorcycle
racing for Harley. Participating in motorcycle
racing gave Harley an edge on research and
development of their motorcycles. Want  to

In 1914, war broke out in Europe and in 1917
the United States declared on Germany.
During this difficult period of time Harley-
Davidson equipped many of their machines
with military equipment. Harley studied the
needs of the military and adopted their
motorcycles to meet the needs of the soldiers
in the field. During this time period Harley
established a service school to train
mechanics to repair the machines that had
breakdowns from a hard and demanding use.
Twenty thousand motorcycles were used in
this conflict.

In this time period, which was the beginning of
motorcycling in America, there was the big
three in motorcycling, Indian, Excelsior and
Harley-Davidson. Excelsior disappeared in
1931 and Indian in 1953 leaving only Harley-
Davidson. Almost one hundred years later the
legend continues. Want  to buy a Harley

The V-ROD is introduced. Harley has always
enforced a considerable amount of research
and development when introducing a new
model and the V-Rod was put through the
works. The V-Rod has a new engine, which is
built around the engine that the Harley-
Davidson race team has been using. V-Rod
had to have a special frame to accommodate
the new engine and so began the design.
After the machine was built it was driven
several hundred thousand miles and then ran
through testing which included water testing.
After being sprayed with high-pressure water
nosals for over twenty-four hours, the V-Rod
started immediately. The V-Rod was in
development for six years. No other
motorcycle company spends the kind of time
and money in development that Harley-
Davidson does. Want  to buy a Harley

In 1960 Harley-Davidson negotiated with an
Italian company to build and distribute
lightweight motorcycles. The American
company was only making the big V-Twins
and there was thought that to be more
competitive they needed to be producing a
mid-size line. People begin to see Harley's
that they did not recognize, bringing to
question where the company was going.
There were younger people who were
interested in more of a leisure machine and
these lightweights met their needs. Want  to

In 1967 the Harley-Davidson Company after
several lean years was threatened by
bankruptcy and accepted an offer to buy out
the company by AMF (American Metal
Foundries). This buyout ended sixty-two years
of the private family owned company. AMF
realized some of the problems the company
had and decided that the way bring it back to
the top was to produce large numbers of
motorcycles quickly and cost-effectively. For
the first time three letters appeared beside the
Harley-Davidson name on the gasoline tanks,
AMF. Harley was now trying to compete with
the Japanese, which they could not do on their
own ground, which was mass production. With
the speeding up of the assembly line, it
became apparent that the quality control which
Harley had always been so concerned  with
was not deteriorating. As production
increased there was a significant drop in
quality. Since there was not enough space for
working on this amount of machines, they
were pushed through without adequate time or
careful assembly. From this analysis, the only
solution was to keep developing motorcycles
that had built the company's success and
legend, solidity, quality and reliability. Want  to

The 60's brought a lot changes to the
American civilization such as the wider spread
of Rock and Roll, the thought that if it feels
good do it and Harley owners begin to change
the way their motorcycles looked. Harley's
became the chose of motorcycle in which to
modify, thus appeared what was known as the
chopper. The chopper was a Harley-Davidson
motorcycle, which had the frame, cut and re-
welded to extend the front forks. These
motorcycles were covered with as much
chrome as the owner could afford and was
always a works in the making. Few other
motorcycles offered as much custom
attraction and only Harley's were know as true
choppers. Want  to buy a

In 1981 the Harley -Davidson executives who
were disappointed with AMF decided they
would try to buy the company. Because the
company was considered to be beyond
recovery, they were able to purchase it at a
good price. After the buy, some critised AMF
for not taking better care of the classic
company. Harley-Davidson began its new
beginning and reclaimed its good name.

The people that ride Harley's have always
supported the motorcycle and the company,
even through the lean years when they did not
agree with management of the company.
There are Harley riders that believe that riding
this brand of motorcycle is a way of life, which
is the American way. There are several big
events that take place every year that
celebrate the glory of Harley-Davidson
motorcycles. A lot of these events began as
gatherings for all kinds of motorcycles but now
have mostly Harley owners attending. There is
the Daytona Bike Week and the Sturgis Rally
in South Dakota, which regularly attracts over
one hundred thousand participants. Want  to

In 1983 Harley-Davidson started the official
club, which is know by the acronym H.O.G. that
stands for Harley Owners Group. Ten years
after the club was established the club had
more than one hundred fifty thousand
members and almost 700 chapters. These
chapters have organized rallies and drives
with the profits going to several charities all in
the name of the famous motorcycle company.
The evidence shows Harley riders clearly love
their bikes and the company that for almost
one hundred years has been producing the
motorcycle that has been called Milwaukee
Iron. Want  to buy a Harley Davidson
