Default Re: Anyone ride a Harley?

Are there really no Harley forum sites?

I would happily start a forum if you want, just tell me what domain name you want and I will put it up on the server.

As for Harleys although I have never been on one I do have a very strong connection to the company as my Grandfather, Svend Heiberg and his good Friend Axel Svanea were two of the first to go around the world on a Motorcycle, a Harley with a sidecar (the sidecar was for toting spare parts)

They started in Denmark sometime in the early 1920's and went around westward through deserts and who knows what else, hopping aboard freighters when they hit ocean, when they crossed the states they stopped into the then small Harley Factory, Harley having no idea who they were were astounded that someone was attempting to go around the world on their bikes.

I have a picture somewhere of their return in Denmark, Although I never met my Grandfather, passed away in the 60's, I have heard some of the most amazing stories from their trip.
