Daytona Bound - NJ to Daytona on a Harley

Spring is in the air, right?  Well, maybe soon.

For right now in NJ, it's a brisk 34 degrees, and there's giant snowpiles everywhere.  What's a biker to do?

Head to Daytona Bike Week, what else??

Join Liberty Harley-Davidson owner Tom as he heads down 95 to find the sun, and tests out the new Harley-Davidson Heated Gear line!  Today he suited up - heated pants, jacket and gloves, and rode south, bound for the sun - leaving in only 31 degrees.

We'll be posting updates of his trip down, and then sunny updates from Daytona Beach Florida all week to help get you in the mood for spring.  And hey - if you were lucky enough to make it down, feel free to share your Daytona pics with us on Facebook and Twitter - we love to see pictures of sunny beaches and fun!

And keep thinking warm thoughts!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Harley-Davidson supports breast cancer organizations year-round by offering the Pink Label Collection! We are proud of this line -
it’s a product offering with a purpose. Harley-Davidson was inspired to create this line by the countless riders and passengers that they have encountered on the open roads and at events, who have been impacted by breast cancer.

With every purchase of Harley-Davidson Pink Label merchandise, 3% of the retail price is donated to organizations that support and empower women who are affected by breast cancer every day. Over $1 million has been donated by Harley-Davidson from the proceeds of Pink Label thanks to you! Organizations include National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc., Young Survivor Coalition, and ABCD: After Breast Cancer Diagnosis.

Pink Label is more than something to wear. It’s the power to make a difference.

Highlight from the Summer Dealer Show - the new Bagger Low!

Guest Blogger Tom McTamney
Owner, Liberty Harley-Davidson

Last day – Dealer Show is winding down and I now have some time to think about my highlights of the show.  Some new bikes, some new parts, but what really stands out as, in my mind, a show stopper is new Bagger Lows.

The new Ultra Limited Low is really something.  A factory touring bike that if you are at least 5’7” you are flat footed.  The bike has been lowered in the rear, lowered in the front, has new handlebars that come back a little further, relocated floorboards, and a seat that is not only lower, but narrower, and because it was designed around the Hammock seat, is still very comfortable.

But what I believe is the big news is the new primary cover - that is almost an inch and a half narrower.  That has always been somewhat of a challenge for some riders because your leg always hit the primary.  Well, not any more.  It’s hard to believe that just an inch or so makes such a big difference.

And the good news is that it will fit baggers back to around '08. No pulling off the inner primary, just the outer cover and new larger derby cover.  So if you need just a little more control, and you are ok with the Handlebars and the floorboards, the new narrow primary is just the ticket. 

Stay tuned for my dealer show ride to the Trace, and the birthplace of the King in my next blog.
