Harley Davidson Recalls 2008 FLSTSB and FXSTSSE2 and 2009 FLSTSB and FXSTSSE3 Motorcycles for Brake Acorn Stud Defect

Harley-Davidson is recalling certain 2008 FLSTSB and FXSTSSE2 and 2009 FLSTSB and FXSTSSE3 motorcycles.

The acorn stud at the brake reaction link may fall out during use. If this occurs, the front brake and fender assembly would no longer be adequately retained.

11005 units are affected.

Check out my Motorcycle Recalls feature for more details.

Big Sids Vincati Dads and Sons and Their Motorcycles

I just saw this article in my Google Alerts. Its actually a review of a new book, "Big Sid’s Vincati: The Story of a Father, a Son, and the Motorcycle of a Lifetime," by Matthew Biberman. The article is on the Opinion page of the New York Times and written by Stanley Fish. Its thought provoking and even involves motorcycles. If you ever read Pirsigs, "Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance," youll be even more interested in the article. If you never heard of Pirsig, read the article and then go get a copy. Its easy reading but deeply involved in philosophy too.

Heres an excerpt from the article, "Fathers, Sons and Motorcycles":


    "What is it about motorcycles? I have never been on one for the same reason that I don’t go on roller coasters or other amusement-park rides. I’m terrified. Yet every so often motorcycles come into my life. When I met my wife in the middle ’70s her primary mode of transportation was a motorcycle (a small Honda). She specialized in terrifying situations. She rode it to and from work in South Philadelphia and was once robbed at an intersection while waiting for the light to turn green. She took the bike onto the Baltimore Beltway, where I felt nervous driving a car. She says now that she got it because something was missing from her life. And she bought it immediately after having read Robert Pirsig’s "Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values" (1974)." -- Stanley Fish

Now, read the complete article and dont forget the comments at the end.

Harley Davidson Police Motorcycles

Police Harleys. since I was a kid, Ive seen police on Harley-Davidson motorcycles . Not for all of the one hundred years that Harley-Davidson has been supplying motorcycles to police.in 1908 Harley started producing motorcycles for police departments  and has been doing so ever since. Harleys are used in more than 3,400 police agencies in the U.S. alone. Today there are police on Harleys in 45 countries. 
Steve St. Thomas, Director of Police and Fleet Sales, talked about the programs anniversary in a recent article in Enthusiast magazine. There are two mew programs for 2008 which include the FLHTP Police Electra Glide, FLHP Police Road King and the 883 Sportster. The FL models have pursuit lights, an air-suspended solo seat, a 103-cu-in. powertrain, oil coolers, optional ABS on Electra Glide and Road King and bead-retention tires. Harley is adding a new 100th anniversary decal to the front fender of the police motorcycles. They have also added a metal tank medallion and a 100th anniversary H-D police badge madallion on the front fender of the Peace Officer Special Edition models.
There are also the special edition Peace Office and Firefighter models available in the Electra Glide, Ultra Glide, Road King, Fat Boy and Heritage Classic.  As long as there are Harley-Davidson motorcycles, there will probably be police riding them.
