Ogni costruttore che si rispetti fa la sua scelta prima di iniziare a progettare una moto. Ma nel caso dell’Harley non si tratta di una scelta nei riguardi di un determinato modello, qui si tratta di una filosofia costruttiva che è nata oltre 100 anni fa e che non si è mai fatta influenzare nel tempo. Le Harley sono fatte di ferro, e non certo perché gli americani non sanno usare la plastica ma più semplicemente perché il metallo è immensamente più duraturo ed affidabile della plastica, e si può riparare facilmente dai suoi ammacconi o dalla ruggine. Una moto fatta di ferro ce la potremo ritrovare dopo cinquant’anni ed anche molto più. Vedi l’esempio della Vespa che ancor oggi vede circolare tranquillamente i suoi modelli risalenti agli anni ’50. Certo che di un qualunque

Town House Restaurant9 E Broadway StOviedo, FL 32765Where is it?The dining room here is shaped like an "L." So from the main entrance, head to the cashier (the counter is fixed into the apex of the "L") and then go left until you hit the back wall. A small door leading to the bathrooms (which are located in a small hallway behind that door) can be found there.What's it like?This is one of the better diners in the Orlando area, thanks to its no nonsense menu, great service, unpretentious decor and many regular customers -- all of which makes you feel like you're always welcome here. The restaurant itself is set in the dead center of Orlando suburb Oviedo, the the awkward crisscross of the streets outside often make for a few parking complications (especially on weekends, when the church goers of the area bombard the place after services finish). Still, it's worth suffering some road rage for this place. The decor is filled with community-based items like kids' drawings and softball

By: Gregg HallWith more than one hundred years notched on their belt, Harley Davidson is praised with building the best motorcycles on the planet. There is little doubt that they deserve the acclaim.Arthur Davidson and William Harley dreamed of creating a "motorized bicycle" in their early adulthood. Test models were created and failed miserably, but this never deterred the boys from achieving their goal. Despite early models requiring foot power on hills, Harley and Davidson continued striving to create the "motorized bicycle" that they knew would become a success.By 1906, the first fifty motorcycles were manufactured. A few years later, they followed with a line of motorcycles for police and military use. Short of a slowdown in the 1970s, Harley Davidson never stopped tweaking and improving their models. Today, Harley Davison produces millions of motorcycles for use on every corner of the world.The distinct engine roar and loud vibrations through their tailpipes allow onlookers to he

This is a powerful slogan from Harley Davidson, “Stop dreaming!”. Imagine the opportunity you can get just by having a Harley Davidson’s motorcycle. Picture yourself riding across the California deserts and through the forest mountains. What about to change completely your lifestyle and start meeting people on the road! The bikers agreed that riding a Harley is like enjoying fine wine. It might takes you many years before you can understand biker’s culture. People are inspired by the free-spirited bikers, because you can ride with them. All you need now is to make this dream come true! (more…) If you like this post, buy me a Smirnoff Ice.

We took a quick vacation this past weekend and brought the kids to Storyland in Glenn, NH. If you've never done it and have pre-teen kids, do it, it is a wonderful place. Anyway, on the way back home we stopped in Meredith, NH to have lunch at Hart's Turkey Farm (another great place). Now, for those of you not familiar with the NH geography, Meredith is right next to Laconia, which is essentially the center of the Harley universe in New England. Laconia is famous for two things, "Bike Week"... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

1903 Harley Davidson I have been a avid fan and rider of Harley Davidson for most of my life and I want to share a little history with all who may be Harley riders also. Arthur Davidson and William S. Harley were school friends who shared a mechanical passion and a strong desire to join the other motorcycle pioneers. They rekindled their relationship while working at the same factory in Milwaukee. Together they began to study mechanics focusing on motorcycle engines. In 1901 they had four engines designed and ready to be fitted to bicycle frames. In 1903 the first Harley-Davidson motorcycles were built. The brand name become very famous and appeared in ads and articles describing the motorcycle that would become a legend. Three motorcycles were produced between 1903 and 1904 and were sold before they were even built. 1928 Harley Davidson During this time Walter C. Davidson Sr. and William A. Davidson joined Arthur Davidson and William S. Harley and the Harley Dav

By Yaser Anwar, CSC of Equity Investment IdeasWith the repurchase of 21+ million shares, $1+ billion, in 05 & almost 10 million shares in 2006, one can indeed say management has done a terrific job thus far.Not only that, investors can expect further stock repurchases and dividend hikes as management utilizes FcF. This is a Warren Buffet type of company. From the past couple of years, management has been continuing a series of payout boosts (from 8% in 01 to 18% so far). In the 2nd Q, HOG increased its quarterly dividend by nearly 17%.Last year the company had a short-term earnings blip and the stock fell 10 points, would have been a great buying point. That's exactly what Bill Nygren, one of the top value investors, of OakMark Fund (OAKLX) did. OakMark is one of HOG's Top Mutual Fund Holders.http://equityinvestmentideas.blogspot.com/index.html
