The Harley Davidson motorcycle and brand is an icon. Harley tattoos are a way of paying tribute to the bike, and connecting with the Harley community. Started by William Harley and Arthur Davidson in 1903 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the Harley has become the most popular bike ever built and has legions of proud owners all over the world. The HD has become a way of life, a statement of who you are, a head turner and an escape for so many people.

History of the Harley Brand

The logo brand has also become a proud part of the tradition, and licensing of the logo alone accounts for approximately 5% of the Harley Davidson Motor Companys net profit (based on figures from the 2004 financial report). There is a strong and loyal following of the brand and Chopper style motorcycle, throughout the world.

The motorcycle has evolved a lot over the years. The first production model, in 1905 had a single cylinder 440cc engine. In 1911, a new engine was introduced, with a V-Twin design, with 810ccs. The popularity of the HD motorcycle soared and by 1920 it was the biggest manufacturer in the world.

The company went through some rough patches after the second world war, and changed hands in 1952 and again in 1981.

The release of the "Fat Boy" model in 1990, reinvigorated sales. The company went back to quality parts and away from mass production to differentiate the brand from overseas and other local mass produced bikes. Demand soared again and due to the quality assembly process, it was not uncommon for the waiting list for the most popular models to exceed 12 months.

A museum, dedicated to the HD motorcycle will be opened in Menomonee River Valley in 2008 to honor and celebrate the history of the bike and the brand.

Harley Davidson Tattoo Designs

Associated with the huge success of the HD brand is the logo and other paraphernalia. One of the hottest items in this category is the Harley tattoo. Harley Davidson tattoo designs have evolved over the years, and allows the wearers to pay tribute and provides a connection with a special bike.

Motorcycle Racing Is Part Of Harley Davidson History

Motorcycle racing has been a huge part of Harley Davidson, almost from the beginning of the company. In fact the very first appearance of a motorcycle created by William Harley and the Davidson brothers, Arthur, Walter, and William, was in a Milwaukee, Wisconsin motorcycle race.

The Harley Davidson Company started in 1903, but didn't create an "official" motorcycle racing department until 1914. That didn't stop co-founder Walter Davidson from being victorious in the Federation of American Motorcyclist endurance race, in 1908, while riding a stock single cylinder machine. There were 65 competitors, during this grueling 2-day event, weaving their way through 365 miles of brutal dirt roads in the Catskill Mountains. The only perfect score in the competition went to Mr. Davidson.

By the year 1912, Harley Davidson had made speed a part of their motorcycle racing equation by setting a new record at the Bakersfield Road Race. H-D racers made a name for themselves on both wooden plank tracks and muddy dirt road courses, despite the interruption of World War I. In 1921, H-D shattered speed records, becoming the first motorcycles to reach speeds of 100 miles per hour during a race. Harley Davidson racers were known as "the Wrecking Crew", because of this success.

Harley Davidson's notoriety continued, when one of their motorcycles with a sidecar won the first annual Pike's Peak race, in 1916, and another Harley Davidson claimed first place in 1922 at the Adelaide to Melbourne South Australia race. Motorcycle Racing Dominated By Joe Petrali And Harley Davidson! Joe Petrali was arguably the best motorcycle racer of the early Twentieth Century. For six years between 1931 and 1936, Petrali dominated in the National points rankings five times. In 1935, Petrali went undefeated in all 13 races on the 13-stop National motorcycle racing schedule. Petrali's amazing performance didn't stop there! In 1937, while riding a 1937 Model E, 61 cubic inch, V-Twin Streamliner, he reached speeds of 136.183 miles per hour, at Daytona Beach and set a new world speed record. That's not all! Petrali won the National Hill Climb Championship, not once, not twice, but 8 years in a row beginning in 1929. What a maniac!

Motorcycle racing stopped for the Harley Davidson team and others when World War II began. When the war was over, Petrali did not return to the circuit, but H-D continued to rule the motorcycle racing scene.

When it comes to the drag strip, Harley Davidson looks towards their motorcycle racing crown jewel, the VRSXE Screamin' Eagle V-Rod Destroyer. This bike will get you down the quarter mile in under 10 seconds, but unfortunately it's not street legal and sees limited production. Motorcycle Racing And The Buell Motor Company The Buell Motor Company was a subsidiary of Harley Davidson and also produced bikes for motorcycle racing. Buell motorcycles were available at select Harley dealers. Buell racing teams were a force to be reckoned with and claimed top spots in many racing events. This success was because of the founder of the company, Eric Buell. Buell was not only a motorcycle racer himself, but worked as an engineer for Harley Davidson before forming his own company.

Unfortunately, on October 30, 2009, the Buell Motorcycle Company closed its doors after an incredible 26-year run. Harley Davidson said it would discontinue the Buell product line to focus on the Harley Davidson brand. The last Buell motorcycle rolled off the production line on October 30, bringing the number manufactured to 136,923.

Shortly after in November of 2009, Buell and Harley Davidson announced they would launch Erik Buell Racing, an independent company run by Erik Buell and it will produce race-only versions of the 1125R model.

Today, the tradition of great Harley Davidson motorcycle racing continues both on the drag strip and on the flat track. The AMA or American Motorcycle Association manages the majority of the national Superbike Championship, AMA Motocross Championship, and AMA Flatrack Championship, championship races, in the United States. These include the AMA Supercross Series, AMA Superbike Championship, AMA Motorcross Championship, and AMA Flatrack Championship.

It's no secret that Paul loves motorcycles! He has been riding motorcycles almost as long as he has been able to walk and has been wrenching on motorcycles his entire life. Paul grew up on a farm in the middle of nowhere and has done his fair share of motorcycle racing on the back roads of Ontario, Canada.

The American Motorcycle Legend That Is Harley Davidson

There are many reasons to own a Harley Davidson motor cycle, these may include: having a mid life crisis, they are cool, they are a quality and dependable motor cycle, they are fun to ride, they retain their value more than other motor cycles, spare parts are getting even easier to locate (thanks to the internet), you may increase your popularity with your peers and may have your social life enhanced as you may get to meet other Harley enthusiasts at a Harley club as is found throughout the USA and abroad.

So let's look at the American Motorcycle legend that is the Harley. Where did Harley Davidson come from? Harley Davidson started in 1903 in Milwaukee, USA by Bill Harley and Arthur Walter together built a one cylinder motor cycle that ran on gasoline and was originally built as a racing cycle. This new motor cycle has been described as being reliable and its appearance was new yet popular. It was built in a wooden barn that Arthur's Dad had built. The motorcycles popularity became apparent in their sales figures as they went from a modest one sale in 1903 to a pleasing 11 in 1905, to an impressive 154 in 1908, which saw the launch of their company.

The company grew quickly so they moved into a custom built stone factory to house their 20 employees. The Harley Davidson logo as we know it as today as the bar and shield started in 1910. In 1912 with increasing sales of their motorcycles via an estimated 200 dealerships throughout the USA, saw the commencement of construction of a new six storey factory and the beginnings of their export industry with an initial sale to Japan.

The First World War was good for the Harley Davidson business as they produced about 15,000 motor cycles for the war effort which saw Harley Davidson dealerships reach 2,000 in 1917 and the motorcycle factory was reported to be the largest in the world.

In 1917, one-third of all Harley Davidson's were sent overseas to the U.S. Military to fulfill their patriotic call and to aid in the war effort. The following year, roughly half of the motorcycles produced were sold to the U.S. military. In the end, about 20,000 motorcycles were used in the war, most of them Harley's.

By 1918 Harley Davidson was the biggest motorcycle factory in the world with nearly 2,000 dealerships worldwide. This infrastructure and the motorcycles popularity had the company in a good position to survive the launch of the T model Ford whose new production line saw car prices fall and even the Great Depression.

1928 saw some impressive modifications to the Harley's specifications namely its top speed now exceeded 85 mph thanks to the addition of a twin cam engine and front wheel brakes. The 1930's saw the launch of the biggest Harley Davidson with a massive 1340 CC engine and the Knucklehead which finally outsold its biggest rival cycle the Indian.

War was once again good for the Harley Davidson business with the company suspending the production of its civilian models in preference for those destined to serve in the Second World War. 1947 saw the launch of Harley Davidson's most popular model the Panhead. Two years latter hydraulic front brakes were added to the Hydra Glide Harley models. The forty's were a difficult period for Harley as Triumph's market share was 40%.

1957 Harley launched its Sportster model and it was very popular as it was at that stage the fastest model they had released. 1969 saw a merger with the company called American Machine & Foundry (AMF). This was a difficult time for the company as the merger saw the quality of their motorcycles suffer resulting in the Super Glide and 1970 SLCR Café Racer's reputation suffered. Harley responded to its negative reputation by buying out its partners in 1981 and in 1984 launched its new Evolution motor and in 1971 launched the Cruiser model.

1980 saw the launch of the FLT model and in 1983 the Harley Owners Group (H.O.G.) was born. This club the biggest factory sponsored motorcycle club in the world and by the year 2000 club membership was over the 50,000 mark. Then in 1984 the now legendary Soft Tail model was launched. In 1987 Harley Davidson was listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

The 1990's saw Haley Davidson launch its new Fat Boy design and the construction of a new state of the art paint facility. 2001 fuel injection became available on the Soft Tail model. During the early 2000's Harley's market share increased to 62% so as this figure would indicate it was then and continues to be a very popular brand of American Motorcycle. So if you don't already own a Harley at least you now know some of the story behind the legend.

Top Harley Davidson Accessories for 2010

Bikes will come and bikes will go, but Harley Davidson will remain the bike to have. A Harley Davidson motorcycle is a prized possession for its owners, almost like a badge of honour. Quite obviously then, these people tend to be very careful about the upkeep and maintenance of their Harleys. At the same time, they don't mind spending some extra money to pamper their bikes with exciting Harley Davidson accessories. The makers of Harley Davidson produce some very suave accessories for these proud owners, and, the best part is that these accessories come with some very cool functions as well.

The following is a list of the top Harley Davidson accessories for 2010.

1. Harley LED Light- The Davidson LED light lamp has distinct advantages over a traditional incandescent light- it is whiter, brighter and it offers superior visibility in the dark. The headlight is composed of two horizontal D-shaped lenses which produce a "daylight colour impression". The light produced as a result of this impression is more focussed and natural than traditional bike lights. The installation process is fairly easy as no external ballast or wiring is required. To top it off, the impeccable design of the LED lights adds an oomph factor to an already ravishing Harley bike.

2. Tri-Bar LED Tail Lamp- This Harley D motorbike accessory combines suave design with efficient functionality. The Tri-Bar LED tail lamp is designed to fit with both the bobtail and the rear fender. The intensity of the colour of the smoked lens changes in accordance with the speed of the bike. For example, when the brakes are applied, there is an instant change in the intensity of the red colour. Again, the installation process is a breeze and like all accessories produced by the makers of Harley Davidson, this one's a looker as well.

3. Black Dial- This fancy accessory is a combination of a speedometer and a tachometer, with a dash of style, of course. It is designed primarily like a dial, along with an LCD screen, which has all the vital stats- right from odometer readings to engine RPM and vehicle speed. The best part is that you can access all this information in one single glance.

4. Road Tech ZÅ«mo 665 GPS Navigator with XM- This is, by far, the coolest Harley accessory in a long time. As the name indicates, it is primarily a GPS navigator. But, you would be highly mistaken if you discount it as just another GPS navigator. It comes with some amazing functions- it provides continuous updates about the weather and the traffic situation, and it is also equipped with a satellite radio. Clearly then, the Road Tech Zumo Navigator is a delight for every Harley Davidson owner looking to pamper his/her bike.

Polara Golf Ball

Is the Polara golf ball "new" option for golf? Most golfers know about Polara and the Polara ball, if not, more than 70 percent of them are surely aware of these balls because these are a kind of "magical" ball. Anyone can play golf like a professional with these balls. I mean if you haven't been to a golf course ever in your life, go to your local golf course tomorrow, take with just one ball and give this game a try. You will love it when you see your ball moving straight like a rocket towards its destination.

So how does it actually work? Why is it different than other golf balls? Who made it? What are its pros and cons? You will find the answers to these and many other related questions shortly.

To start with, these magical golf balls have the ability to move straight. These balls automatically correct your hook and slice. You can hit it blindly and it will go straight. So the idea is to provide golfers with something they can rely on.

Now a day, there are different types of Polara golf balls that work on the same technology. These include Polara Ultimate Straight, Polara Ultimate Straight XS, Polara XD and Polara XDS.

How it works

I am not a technical savvy person and physics has never been my favorite subject, but in order to get an insight of these Polara golf balls I researched a lot. I have talked to numerous golfers. I have read countless articles about these balls. I have discussed with hundreds of people. And this is what I have come up with.

These guys have changed the dimple pattern of the regular golf ball. These balls have very shallow dimples on the equator and deep dimples on the poles, as mentioned on Polara golf's website. This pattern of dimples is known as asymmetrical, because the dimple pattern is not common throughout the ball. However official golf balls are made to have symmetrical dimple pattern. A symmetrical dimple pattern is the one where there are equal dimples throughout the ball without any shallow or deep patches.

Now, what happens is this asymmetrical dimple pattern allows the ball to adjust itself automatically during flight. Generally speaking, all are made against the rules of USGA but people still use them. More than 30 percent of the golfers prefer playing with these balls. And this is the reason that you will find thousands of reviews online, outlets, franchises, dealers, online stores, agents and what not.

The question is why golfers use this ball over others? The best thing about the Polara golf ball is that you can play perfect golf almost all the time. There will be no hooks and slices when you use it. Additionally, you will find it easier to beat your opponents as long as they are not using the same ball.

I must say that this ball is good for amateurs and for practice sessions. It is not for those who want to become a good golf player. Those who want to use this magical golf ball must use it when they feel that it will not affect their real game and skills.

I am an avid golfer and have been for over 25 years. I am always looking to enhance my golf game any way I can. I have done a lot of research and have found several items about Golf Buy It Online on the internet. You can also find lots of FREE golf advice, tips and other resources at World Tour Golf.
