The escape to unknown destinations is the inspiration of the Men’s Fall 2014 Collection. 

Field Ops.  More rugged, functional styling combines with a unique mixture of textures, washes and materials to create a performance packed collection that takes risks. The Men’s Fall Collection uses transitional features and versatility to provide optimum comfort, with a focus on distressed and worn fabrics during the fall months.

 

Vintage appeal inspires origins of the Women’s Fall 2014 Collection.

Wanderlust. This season’s focus is on unique shaping, textured accents and pieced graphics to create a distinctive assortment that embraces individuality. Eclectic and fresh details and treatments speaks to the innovation in design, while functional features in riding styles stay true to the classic nature of the Harley-Davidson brand. Functional features focus on versatility during this transitional season.

Day 3 - Another Update from the Harley-Davidson Dealer Show!

Hello again!  Here it is, day three of the dealer show!

Swashbuckling Pirate Belt or Scarf?
You decide!

I almost feel as if I'm back in high school - they give me 10 hours of new information and I can remember maybe 15 minutes of it. But what I do remember most is what I understand the least.

I asked one of the exhibitors to explain Dark Customs, and the woman said, well, most people your age don't understand it, it's for the young crowd. So we will stock it; I don't have to understand it.
 

Another item I can't explain is what I'm holding here in this photo.  It looked to me like a belt for a swashbuckling pirate, but the exhibitor informed me that, although it could be used as a belt, it is more of a fashion accessory piece.

So fine, I'm 0 for 2 in the fashion world.

Not to be discouraged, I pushed on.  I moved to the helmet section - finally something I understand!  Here you can see a really cool shorty helmet with an old school bar and shield on the back.

And also, in the home decor section, some very interesting wall hangings made of metal and plaster, and the exciting part is, they're very affordable - and would look great in your man-cave.

And lastly, they're introducing an expanded Pink Label collection - new jackets, new shirts, new helmets.  And of course, with Harley-Davidson's Pink Label Collection, a portion of the proceeds continue to fund research for a Breast Cancer cure.

I'll probably do one more update this evening, and then it's time to head on back to work.

See ya soon!

More cool stuff from the Harley-Davidson Dealer Show!

Hello again from the Dealer Show!

We just finished the New Motorcycle and P&A seminars. I am really revved up for the new parts and accessories that are coming out, not only for the 2015s, but also for many earlier models.

This year's most impressive accessory is the narrow profile outer primary cover. They have managed to chop almost an inch from the outer primary making it much easier to walk the bike in and out of parking spaces.   Equally interesting is the new custom wheels - 6 new wheels in all - including a new custom wheel for the Street.  Included with the wheels are matching rotors and final drive pulleys.

The Burst Collection literally bursts with new items. It includes a really cool gas door and speaker trim.
 

In closing, also offered this year is a complete set of Brilliant Red brake calipers, which give your bike the latest high performance looks. So many new accessories, you will have to just come into the store and get a New Products catalog.

Next time, a little about performance apparel...

Greetings from the Summer Harley-Davidson Dealer Show!

Good morning from the Dealer Show!  Lots going on here, but I thought I'd take a few quick minutes, because I've got lots of good news to share.  The new Trike is almost $7000 dollars cheaper than the current model.  This Trike just BEGS for customization.  It would look good with a nice set of 60s style Cragar wheels, maybe a set of apes - the wheels are turning!

Tom, sitting on the new Ultra Low.

Let's move on to the New Electra Glide Lows, featuring a new seat;  the new suspension front and rear, and new handlebars make it a great choice for the vertically challenged.

Also, in the next few weeks, we will be getting two Street Glide CVOs and an Ultra CVO at Liberty.

More to come later!

2015 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Roars Back

Two All-New Models Flaunt Massive Bad Attitude and Mile-Devouring Function
MILWAUKEE – Harley-Davidson® (NYSE:HOG) has more rush in the tank. Spy photos, gossip and wild speculation are flooding the Internet as Harley-Davidson fans around the globe anticipate the return of the Road Glide® motorcycle. The wait is over and the Road Glide is back.

Weeks before the announcement of its complete 2015 model line-up, Harley-Davidson is previewing the Road Glide and Road Glide Special, two of its new 2015 motorcycles. Infused with DNA of the customer-led product development effort Project RUSHMORE, the two sleek, shark-nose Touring models are being revealed today during special events at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in Sturgis, S.D., and at the National Bikers Roundup (NBR) in Tulsa, Okla.

“Road Glide has always had an incredibly passionate following, which is why its return to the model line-up is exciting for our customers and our company,” said Matt Levatich, President and Chief Operating Officer of Harley-Davidson Motor Company. “With Project Rushmore technology, intuitive features and great new styling, we’re delivering an improved ride for the Road Glide faithful and the many others looking for more cool Project Rushmore motorcycle options.”

One look at the new contour of the famous Road Glide fairing is all it takes to see past form and convention were put aside and a new rebellious design emerged. The Road Glide motorcycle earned its status satisfying the hard core and now it is back. From the wicked new Dual Reflector Daymaker™ LED headlights to the combination stop/turn/taillights, the Road Glide motorcycles set out to make the ultimate statement in custom, high-mile aggression and back it up with all the function riders demand.

“The Road Glide has always been a bike for a rider who’s cut from a different cloth, a person who wants to make a statement as they chase the freedom of the road,” said Michael Goche, Product Planning Manager. “This new model respects that spirit while offering a significant improvement in aerodynamic and ergonomic comfort, LED lighting and the full suite of Project RUSHMORE features that have been such a huge hit with touring riders around the world.”

Road Glide
Shaped by countless hours of wind tunnel testing, the new frame-mounted Road Glide motorcycle fairing features a triple splitstream vent that significantly reduces head buffeting while still providing comfortable airflow around the rider. The brilliant white beams of the Dual Daymaker Reflector LED headlamp blasts through the murkiest of nights. Centered in the inner fairing is the color screen of a Boom! ™ Box 4.3 infotainment system controlled by twin joysticks located on a new swept-back handlebar that puts the rider in a commanding, comfortable position. A High Output Twin Cam 103™ V-Twin engine burbles through two chrome mufflers, its abundant torque always on tap with just a twist of the throttle. Touring features include One-Touch hard saddlebags, cruise control, easy-to-read gauges, adjustable air-ride rear suspension and new ergonomic hand controls with intuitive design and improved tactile feel.

Road Glide Special
Select premium features elevate the performance and style of the Road Glide Special from the base model. These enhancements include the premium Boom! Box 6.5GT infotainment system with touch screen and GPS navigation, Reflex™ Linked Brakes with ABS and hand-adjustable low-profile rear suspension. An exclusive painted inner fairing and hand-applied pinstriping move the styling up a notch.

The public will have an opportunity to see and test-ride the new 2015 Road Glide and Road Glide Special models at Harley-Davidson locations in Sturgis Aug. 2-9 and in Tulsa on Aug. 2. They then start arriving at authorized Harley-Davidson dealerships on August 26, 2014. Visit www.h-d.com/roadglide for more information.
