DREAM-MACHINES celebrates Harley-Davidson's 120th anniversary with an extra-fat anniversary edition
The current DREAM MACHINES issue 03-23 is a whopping 32 pages thicker than a normal issue. She owes this to the 120th anniversary of the Harley-Davidson Motor Company . The story of the rolling myth can be told again and again and the editorial team has uncovered new facts that hardly anyone knew about before. These findings were woven into an extra-long section of Harley-Davidson history . Beautifully designed, richly illustrated and absolutely worth reading!
But this issue is also full of interesting stories. For example, about the idle setting in the injection era. Once upon a time, hardly any biker meeting could do without an idle contest. The aim was to reduce the idle speed of a Harley to such an extent that it rumbled and shook, thereby clearly expressing the typical character of a Big Twin. This happened when the idle was turned down using a carburettor screw. Today there are only injection systems. There is an informative technology article about whether this is possible and what consequences this has for the engine.
No test is more realistic than a test under realistic conditions. The editorial team drove a Harley-Davidson Low Rider ST along the highway from Mannheim to Berlin and there into the hellish city traffic. Twice 600 kilometers later, we know pretty much everything about the practical value of a motorcycle that initially just looked cool.
Ann-Kathrin Bendixen is a well-known motorcycle influencer known Monkey on Bike Tens of thousands follow their experiences on their motorcycle trips via Instagram. She has been riding a Harley for some time. DREAM-MACHINES heard from us about their experiences.
Who actually decorates the Harleys before they are in the sales room? These men are called “recyclers,” and they have more to offer than we could imagine. DREAM-MACHINES introduces the detailer from Harley-Davidson Berlin, who has also built a number of his own motorcycles. Many of them look like Harleys that Harley never built.
DREAM MACHINES 03-32 also presents the new Indian Sport Chief, shows fine V2 conversions with Shovelhead, Evolution and Milwaukee Eight units, rides on board tracks and tests smartphone holders.
