Whats Happening This Coming Weekend?

Whats Happening This Coming Weekend?

Very good question! For over a month I have been collecting all of the parts necessary to install new 12″ handlebars on my Street Glide. As you can imagine I’m pretty excited about that. Handle bars are one of those high expense items that is sometimes difficult to follow through with purchasing. Between the cost of the bars themselves and all of the necessary extensions, most riders will not even attempt self installation. Paying to have it done will greatly…

Tools for the Road!

Tools for the Road!

Tools for the road! To carry or not to carry? I usually only carry them if were going to be out for the day or longer. When I ride to work though I don’t carry tools due to the fact that I’m not going to be anywhere remote where I can’t get help. Everyone has an opinion of whether or not they should bother carrying tools. They will add a bit of weight and take up some space. With careful…

For the past few weeks between some rain and cold temperatures we have been confined to driving instead of riding.

It came into being after an accident from which Malorie Bullock, a college student who was a passenger on a motorcycle was killed in a crash.

Texas Christkindl Market

Texas Christkindl Market

A couple weeks ago on a Saturday night the weather was cool and clear so we took a short ride to Arlington, TX to visit the Texas Christkindl Market. This was the fourth year the market has been set up and we went with high expectations from the write-ups we found online about it. However, and I really don’t like going down this road, it was a complete disappointment and nothing short of overblown hype. This content has been moved…

How Far will it Go

How Far will it Go

So I’m about to roll 60k miles on my 2012 Street Glide. I have had it for 2.5 years. As I mentioned before, this is my first Harley and I am the first in my family history to ride a Harley and I am still curious as to how far will it go? This content has been moved to Ride it Wrench it.
