PASS THE RPM ACT BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR!

TELL CONGRESS TO SUPPORT YOUR RIGHT TO RACE The Recognizing the Protection of Motorsports Act (RPM Act, H.R. 5434 and S. 2602) has one more chance to pass both chambers of Congress before the end of the legislative session. Lawmakers must hear from supporters of the RPM Act before they decide which issues will be addressed in the final days of the year. The bipartisan RPM Act would ensure that converting motor vehicles into competition-only vehicles remains legal. Street-legal motorcycles are considered motor vehicles under the federal Clean Air Act. The RPM Act states that it was the clear intent of Congress when passing and amending the Clean Air Act that motor vehicles, including motorcycles, used solely for competition would ...

Harley-Davidson Serial 1 Electric Bike Lineup Revealed, Priced From $3,399

by Mircea Panait from https://www.autoevolution.com When you hear Harley-Davidson, what do you think of straight away? What kind of image does it spring into your mind? Easy Rider is one potential answer, but we can all agree that H-D stands for old-school motorcycles and a very strong culture built on these loud bikes. The problem with Harley-Davidson, however, is the companyā€™s reluctance to modernize, reinvent itself, and appeal to a younger audience. Japanese manufacturers are miles ahead in every respect, but H-D is trying hard to make amends for decades of resting on past laurels. The LiveWire is the perfect example of this change, and in the spring of 2021, the Serial 1 electric bicycle will be joining the electric ...

Open Letter from BikerLid

Hi Itā€™s Keith here, otherwise known as Fat Albert. My love for motorcycles started at a very young age and has turned into so much more than a hobby - some might even say itā€™s an obsession.

So to celebrate this passion we have in common, I have a gift for you. For the next 48 hours, take $15 off any helmet of your choice. ...

Porsche vs Harley-Davidson Drag Race Video

by Vlad Mitrache from https://www.autoevolution.com Up until very recently, the thought of a drag race between a Porsche (any model) and a Harley-Davidson motorcycle (any hog) was one of the most preposterous ones that anyone could come up with. On the one hand, you have a German automotive brand with a strong history and deep roots in motorsport. Sure, it's guilty of also building SUVs - with some even powered by diesel - but you'd be pushing it to call any of its models "slow". On the other hand, you have an American motorcycle specialist with an equally strong history and plenty of racing connections throughout its history, though less so in the more recent years. Indeed, these days Harley-Davidson ...
