For me Harley will be constantly number 1. I got it from my father, he is already 11 years old and I ride like a new one. I had to change the spark plugs only once. Usually, when there are problems with the engine, it is worth paying attention immediately to the spark plugs, then from this to try to somehow build a strategy for repair. That's why I have recently changed the spark plugs on my Harley, and in fact, one of them is out of order, but I decided to change the set so that there would be no relapses. It is good that at least I was able to find in the network what would be better to replace them with. Already replaced just the same decided to study the material about Spark Plugs For Harley Davidson https://allforharley.com/best-spark-...rley-davidson/ and there was already able to pick up one of the options I need. Look for yourself, a very individual situation, it is just painted for what years of production need which spark plugs. Already from this you can pick up and for yourself, with such a problem is better to do it immediately.

Kiev is not in Russia, and why be so rude to a visitor? Edit: I confess now I'm baffled by the dead link to a suspended site Edit: Aaaaand now the site works. What an amazing coincidence. Edited by WarpShatner7 on Sep 10th 2020 at 12:35 PM Reason: hmmm |

I've seen several custom Sportsters which looked REALLY good (Black Bike?) that Harley could have easily produced and sold a ton of, instead of their stupid 'Street' series which has already failed. HD is and always has been hamstrung by their Past and completely unable to think outside the Box. The same thing happened to Porsche, BMW, and Jaguar, among others, but they were able to evolve and move on successfully. |

Had they allowed Buell's to be sold at dealers that sold non HD brands and allowed Eric more freedom I think Buell would have been profitable and would still be around. A niche bike yes but if the brand was showing a profit, so what. |

I liked the Buell, but I don't know why HD had to rely on him alone to develop a Sport bike... And the early ones were definitely trash. I don't know what goes on in the HD Boardroom, but you'd think they could start a new Division to develop a Sport bike, or at least a non-Cruiser. I guess they've always been deathly afraid of alienating their Core customers, who are now dying off, or at least not buying new HD's at anywhere near the rate they used to. The V-Rod was OK, at least it was an effort, but the real standout was the VR1000 which they raced. If only they had developed that bike and brought it to Market, things might be different. There was also that XLCR which was definitely a step in the right direction. Oh well. It's too late now. I don't see how they can survive, and I don't think they can pour cash into a new direction at this late date... |

The electric bikes featured in Long Way Up look promising.

Those bikes look pretty damn good; ideal geometry and the way they handle the road conditions and especially the washboard in ep 6 is impressive. I'd gladly pay 2/5ths of the asking price for one, if the actual production version lives up to it. So far they've never shown H-D mechanics being flown in at stupid factory-eaten expense to replace broken or failed parts (unlike Rivian), but there's an awful lot of selective editing that goes on in these shows. |

The Harley techs that do appear seem to understand the needs of the riders. They get it and even anticipate what is needed. Nice to see they are in no way clueless about adventure riding. I expected this might be a shitshow where every episode is trying to keep the bikes together. Nothing of the sort. This movie has raised my respect for Harley higher than it has ever been. I would buy a bike from them, if I could afford it. (I basically had no respect for them before this.) And, I gotta say that I am proud to see Ewen and Charley wearing their Harley T-shirts on their e-bikes in far-flung parts of the world. It doesn’t carry the chauvinism of Harley shirts worn in our part of the world. |

We're like halfway through the third Long Way series and they still have yet to fight their way out of a bar. I'm losing my faith in these guys.

Europe, on the other hand, started racing between towns and bars on twisty country roads. Their cars and motorcycles developed along those lines. Being able to corner and stop was actually more important than huge amounts of horsepower. We built Harleys and Cadillacs and they built Ducattis and Triumphs. |
