BIKERTOBERFEST REPORT from DAYTONA

Thousands of motorcycles ā€”Ā most of them Harley-Davidsons, of courseĀ ā€”Ā rumbled down the roads and streets of Volusia and Flagler counties Saturday, marking the busiest day of this year's Biketoberfest. But on a sunny day with a gentle breeze, when the temperatures remained in the low 80s, the crowd seemed much smaller this year because of the coronavirus pandemic. Still, Main Street in Daytona Beach was packed by late afternoon with bikers and gawkers. But the City Commission, concerned about close-packed crowds during the pandemic, had declined this year to issue permits for outdoor vendors and music acts. Perhaps as a result, by late afternoonĀ the normally packed large parking areas next to the Peabody Auditorium and behind the Ocean Center wereĀ less than ...

Harley-Davidson ā€œFirecrackerā€œ Needs to Be Seen

by Daniel Patrascu from https://www.autoevolution.com Back in 1985, a group of motorcycle enthusiasts from Germany set up shop in Hamminkeln, Germany. They started off as a repair garage for mainly Japanese bikes. The group slowly grew from being what they themselves describe as a ā€œmotorcycle shedā€ into one of the major names in the custom motorcycle industry. And by custom, we mean Harley-Davidson. During its early years, Thunderbike repaired bikes, but also started toying with the idea of customizing them. Long ago they spat out both Suzuki and Yamaha two-wheelers, with a custom twist. Later on, over a decade after being set up, Thunderbike decided Harley-Davidson is the way forward, and completely switched focus on the American-made motorcycles. Slowly the ...
