Guest Blogger - Karen,

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!

Tom McTamney, Owner
Liberty Harley-Davidson
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...
