Looking to buy Harley Davidson Shirts from multiple countries. Any ideas where to get them?

admin — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 04:15:11 +0000

About a year ago I found a website that allowed me to buy Harley Davidson shirts from multiple countries, however, I can't remember the site and unfortunately didn't bookmark it. I am specifically looking for Hungary, Italy, & Japan. I know the shops are independently owned but I remember using this site for international purchases and now I can't find it. If anyone has any information or even just some different searching ideas I'd love to hear them. Thanks!

Go to www.hdshirts.com they have officially licensed HD shirts from around the globe.

A Look at Snowbirds and Their Pets

admin — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 05:00:59 +0000

Long before winter’s blustery chill begins to sting the bones, plans are being made by people in Canada, the Northeast and Midwestern United States to seek the warmer climes of the south. It’s an interesting phenomenon that occurs each year and mimics the migration ritual of our feathered friends.

These “snowbirds” (as they are affectionately called) flock to Arizona, Florida and other places along the Sunbelt to avoid winter’s bite and inconvenience. Northern Europeans also are known to head to warmer places in the U.S., adding to these second communities of seasonal residents each year.

Snowbirds are typically retirees or business owners who can afford to be away for extended periods of time. Many have a second home in a warmer location, while others take their home on wheels with them in the form of an RV or camper.

Jack and Ethel W. have been making the trip for 18 years. Pulling out of their snow-banked driveway in upstate Ohio, their 28-foot Fleetwood Southwind RV is loaded with rations, lighter clothes than they would have needed had they stayed home, and Phantom, their four-legged, eight-year-old. That’s right, more and more people travel with their pets these days and snowbirds are no exception. The couple wouldn’t dream of leaving behind their special member of the family, a Lhasa Apso. He’s like one of their children. They’ll stay gone five or six weeks in southern Georgia, while taking several side trips to explore new places.

Rick S. pulls his 38-foot Prowler fifth wheel from Connecticut to Florida each year. His only passengers are Harley and Davidson, two 80-pound German shepherds who earn their keep by sharing “navigator” duties as Rick mans all the driving. He heads south in early November, not to return until mid-April. He enjoys the warmer weather fishing with his pals at his modest lake house until the last signs of the northern winter dissipate.

Traveling with pets long distances and for long periods of time presents challenges not only for snowbirds but also for the pets they take along. According to Dr. Mitch Spindell, site vet on PetTravelCenter.com, the first thing one should always consider is how physically able a pet is to travel. Some senior, pregnant, injured, or otherwise physically impaired pets do not travel well. Besides making sure your pet is physically fit and comfortable to make the trip, here are some tips to consider:

1. If your pet has any chronic conditions, take all pertinent medical records. It’s a good idea to have your pet’s records with you any time you travel long distances.

2. If your pet is on any long-term medications, be sure to have plenty to last your entire stay.

3. If you are driving north or south of the U.S. border, be sure to check all local regulations and have your pet’s current health certificates with you.

4. Establish a local vet in the area as soon as possible in case of emergency. Go to PetTravelCenter.com and click on Emergency Tips for more information.

5.Ask a local vet about any diseases or parasites that may be present in that part of the country (Lyme disease in New England or year-round fleas in Florida, for instance). Your pet may not be protected against these if they are not present where you live.

Just as your passengers’ safety is vitally important when you travel, don’t forget about your pet’s safety as well. As unrestrained 25-pound dog, for example, becomes a 1,000-pound projectile in a 40 mile-per-hour crash. This type of mass flying uncontrollably around a vehicle could be deadly not only to your pet but also to you and your passengers.

Look out for your precious cargo by providing your pet with a car seat equipped with a restraining device (for smaller pets) or a vehicle pet harness that is secured with a seat belt. Cats should be kept in a carrier suitable for traveling, also secured with a seat belt.

A travel tag on a pet’s collar will help someone locate you locally should you and your pet become separated. The travel tag should contain information about where you are staying (while away from home), including addresses and phone numbers. A cell phone number is also a good idea to have on the tag since most people have one with them, especially when they travel.

Another item to consider is a pet first-aid kit. It’s important that you are not only familiar with the items you pack in the kit but know how to use them.

So, as Anne Murray sings in the popular song, “Snowbird”:

“Spread your tiny wings and fly away

And take the snow back with you

Where it came from on that day

…

So, little snowbird, take me with you when you go

To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow…”

Happy travels!

What are the differences between the Harley Davidson Sportster and the Harley Davidson Dyna?

admin — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 05:00:59 +0000

Looking through the Harley Davidson catalog of motorcycles I can't figure out what the specific differences are between the Dyna and the Sportster such that the Dyna costs about $6000 more. What do you get for this extra $6000? Also, is the Sportster really just "a Woman's bike"? Are men who ride them mocked by other Harley owners?

The Sportster is a smaller lighter bike with a smaller motor,(883) or (1200) The motor, primary drive and trans are all a shared unit. The Dyna is a "Big Twin" 80" (1340) or an 88" for newer models.The motor is a unit, the primary drive is a unit and the trans is a unit. The Dyna is a longer ,bigger and heavier bike than the sporty. Sportsters are ( usually) a first Harley, a stepping stone to a big twin. Some never out grow them but most do. My old lady rode her 1200 for a year or so,then we got her a FXR which is similar( But superior ) to the Dyna. These days I see many chicks on big bikes so as a woman you may start on a Sportster and graduate to a Big Twin just like the boys do. And yes guys who ride Sporties from time to time will get some grief for it.
