Harley-Davidson Sportster description
Harley-Davidson Sportster originally built by/ for Nick Nolte. Nick had this bike built for himself 25 years ago. No way to know mileage, but as far as I've been able to find out, it has been ridden very little over the years. He chose a reliable evolution 883 Sportster converted to 1200 cc. The engine was installed into a custom chassis with a rigid frame with just enough rake for the springer fork to have optimum geometry. Buckhorn handlebars, a sprung leather solo saddle and 21 inch Akront aluminum front wheel. The bike was stored indoors at Nick's house (see picture) until he sold the bike to Vladimir Kulich (13th Warrior) last year, (see picture). A few months ago, some idiot knocked Vladimir off the bike and bent the handlebars, scraped the tank and pipes (NO FRAME OR ENGINE DAMAGE, ONLY COSMETIC). The insurance company salvaged it even though it only had minor cosmetic damage. I chased the bike down on the insurance auction site, bought it, got it back into good running condition, and got it registered. I still have the original front wheel, dual piston PM brake caliper and master cylinder but decided to go old school with new front wheel and no front brake. Some new handlebars and a new set of drag pipes was all it really needed. It is straight as an arrow and extremely powerful. It's all original parts of Nick Nolte's choice and every bit a real good old fashioned Harley chopper. The motor is tight and strong (really strong), lots of compression. The clutch and transmission work great. The bike is ready to ride, and will be sold newly serviced: New points, Battery, Seals, Pipes and clean carb. It is extremely fun to drive. Honestly it is an adventure could not stop smiling. It really is something else. Real old school all the way. $5499 obo. New tags and registration.

Vespa goes back to the future
Thu, 22 Nov 2012IT'S been a while coming, but the gorgeous Vespa 946 - EICMA 2012's Best of Show - has finally introduced something to the two-wheeled world that our four-wheeled counterparts have had for a while. I call this 'reverse retro-futurism' - the art of borrowing lines from models past and imbuing them with a sleek sense of future direction (as opposed to retro-futurism, the pre-1960s design trend of depicting the technology of the future. The term 'decopunk' may come close, but feel free to tell me if there's a more exact term.) It's what the New Mini and the New Beetle (both 1997 and 2012 versions) have done so well, and so successfully: building an all-new model as a tribute to a classic, something that's modern yet already timeless, with a widely-appreciated, inclusive aesthetic (and here we eliminate the Plymouth PT Cruiser from the conversation). The biking world is great at retro, indeed thrives on it, but not so good at adding in a taste of the 21st century.
Harley-Davisdon Claims US Market Share Lead for Women, Minorities and Young Adults
Mon, 22 Apr 2013For some time now, Harley-Davidson has been trying to fight the stereotyped image of its customer base as being predominantly older, Caucasian males. Harley-Davidson‘s Stereotypical Harley campaign became a big part of the company’s advertising efforts in 2012, featuring real Harley-Davidson owners and showcasing the large diversity of its riders. Fighting against preconceptions can be difficult but Harley-Davidson has some numbers to prove its motorcycles are popular with other demographics including young adults, women and minorities.
Blues Brothers Too Old for Harley-Davidson 110th Anniversary Celebration?
Fri, 10 May 2013Comedian Dan Aykroyd says he offered to bring his Blues Brothers act to Harley-Davidson‘s 110th Anniversary celebrations but was turned down because H-D executives said the act was too old for the company’s target demographics. Aykroyd, playing the role of Elwood J. Blues with the late John Belushi playing “Joliet” Jake Blues, posted a statement on his official Facebook page suggesting Elwood is trading in his Harley-Davidson motorcycle for a Can-Am Spyder.
