        Nice device Old Harleys are
precious collectors items. They are sought after
like never before. The old style padlock at the
lower end of the headset, and the easy to
manipulate ignition switch is not a big deal for
an interested thief. Both they are not
tamper-proof. If you are just over to warm your
preferred peaches, and have to park your sled
outside on the street, there is a solution. It is
unobtrusive (without the red key) but effective.
Press the red key towards the bike, turn it to the
right, and remove it. The main
power cable will be interrupted, the bike will not start. Some folks call it immobilizer. This is not true though, as long there is a truck and some accomplices around. But it may help! A rare breed Lately in Samut Prakan, a part
of Bangkok we stumbled over a motorcycle, which
looked a kind of strange...! Taking a
closer look it turned out to be a Janda, a
Jawa with a 125cc Honda engine inside. Click

piece of junk. Quote of the month:  The worlds

Picture of the month: The time has come again to escape from trouble, traffic, and the trivia of all day live. The winding mountain roads within and the proximity of Andorra are the perfect ride for those days in spring. Andorra is nested in between France and Spain. Watch out for horses roaming freely about the mountains and detect gravel on the road in time. One tool, a decent corkscrew comes in handy, as from Andorra, there are vineyards in all directions. Or, if you are ready for that very special event: A three hours ride from Andorra you will find the renowned restaurant ". El Celler de Can Roca" in Girona, serving Catalan cuisine.

Ironhead
Bob from Louisville, Kentucky
gave me this picture of his '77 Ironhead. The bike obviously does not have the adequate space, nor the necessary attention yet. We strongly hope, that Bob turns his baby into a beauty soon. We encourage him by recommending a website with beautifully restored ironheads: https://www.bikeexif.com/tag/ironhead-sportster
This road sign was found by Chris Wagner on his motorcycle trip to to Mae Hong Son, west of Chiang Mai, close to the Burmese border.
Harleys.de
suggests, that this should be the only road sign
on country roads. Harleys.de is a proud
sponsor of the View
Society which supports underprivileged children
in Thailand. And you should too, as the new invoices for the upcoming school term are almost due. Every single donor will have constant access to the accounting online, and will exactly know how the money is being spent. The society is recognized by the government of Germany. Donations are tax deductible. Tell us, do you have barbwire in your pockets?
