2009 Harley-Davidson Touring Model Overview

2009 Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic Electra Glide - Highway One
2009 Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic Electra Glide - Highway One

I rode several of the 2009 Harley-Davidson touring models up the California coast recently, and I was able to experience their improved capabilities. I'll be writing about each model separately in upcoming articles.

The 2009 touring models are all new from the ground up. Key changes for 2009 include new modular frame, swingarm, engine mounting system, and wheels and tires. With a 'ready to ride' weight of over 800 pounds Harley-Davidson's touring models are massive bikes designed for all day comfort while crossing vast stretches of highway.

Many manufacturers chase the style of the day, but the new 2009 touring models incorporate major improvements while retaining the character and styling that defines Harley-Davidson motorcycles.

The Amazing Ten-Year Motorcycle Battery

I replaced my motorcycle battery last week. It stopped holding a charge sometime this winter.

The amazing thing about this is that the battery was manufactured in 1997. That's right - ten years ago. It was the OEM YUASA YTX12-BS battery that was in the bike when I ...

Happy Independence Day

I spotted this road condition sign on highway 88 leaving Pine Grove, California the other day.

Earlier in the week during various long-distance drives, I had seen similar signs proclaiming "Click It Or Ticket" and "Speed Kills" - so this one seemed like icing on the cake.

Happy Independence Day!
