I used to ride motorcycles with a group of guys who rode AMF harleys. The usual routine was ride an hour or so and then work on a Harley for an hour or so . Repeat as needed . One 5 day mountain ride took a total of 12 stops to adjust or fix something on one of the 6 Harley Davidson in the group . The rest of us were on “ rice burners “

Pulsarnc, coming from a "Rice Burner Rider." (Well, currently a Bratwurst Bike Owner - BMW)
"How can you tell where a Harley was parked?"
"You look for the oil stain." 😂
I know, akin to ".45 or .9mm?"
"Glock or 1911?"

Yes that is true and that Guzzi is gorgeous but there is a bright red ST1100 in my storage building. The Honda is a much better motorcycle in my opinion. 0 -
Harley is getting back to their roots. They started the business making bicycles. 3 -

You wear it. It is in the $3000.00 Harley Jacket they require that you buy. 3 -

Staying in business... They will sell a boatload of them. 0 -
Harley is going back to the AMF days...........bless their little hearts. They think soy boys actually like the Harley name. 0 -
Another few years of AMF control and they would have disappeared from the market

Harley's were cool back in the day when men coming home from the war rode them in the late 40s and early 50s. They just seemed to fit.
My dad snapped this shot of his friends up in the Smoky Mountains one day back in the middle 50s. All but 2 of these guys fought in WWII and a couple fought in both WWII and Korea and survived. I used to follow them around like they were rock stars when I was a little kid in complete awe of them. I enjoyed every minute listening to those guys laughing, joking and telling their stories while throwing jabs at each other. They were just great men.
I was just a kid but I wanted to be just like them.0 -
Got to give long term first place to Harley for putting tons of crap on two wheels while remaining in business. 0 -
Back in the day mid-50's I think, had a HD 165. It had two very large rubber bands at top of forks for front wheel suspension to take out the road shock. Could not afford a Harley battery so used a six volt Eveready lantern battery to fire that plug and magneto took over. Running the red clay dirt roads in Louisa County, Virginia. No leather jacket, no boots, no helmet, no insurance, no plates, no license. Life was good.---------------------------Ray 0 -
40 years ago i went to two HD stores with the intent to buy a bike...could have written a check for any one in there,,,no body paid any attention to me ......never went back ...bought a Honda Aspencade special edition with EVERYTHING on it you could get...air suspension, digital dash, every add on..... 0 -
FCD, you are correct, AMF did buy HD. Following a number of years where product quality and desirability went in the toilet, a group of (I believe) employees/company execs were able to buy the business from AMF somewhere around mid 1981 into 1982.

I and some friends bought new Harleys in 1982, first year post- AMF. Quality was still in the toilet. All four of us had problems from the get go. One broke a connecting rod at 132 miles. Another bent valves early. On mine, the plastic float in the carb had a hole in it, letting raw gas poor out.ChrisStreett said:FCD, you are correct, AMF did buy HD.

The dealer fixed these problems and we all put several thousand miles on them.
One friend still has his 1982 Wide Glide, along with a few others he’s bought.0 -

Jim, many similar issues occurred with the ‘81-‘82 models especially. I have an ‘82 Low Rider, have had it from day one. The quality sure wasn’t all that. Began a complete, frame off restoration a few years back and discovered the lower end was late 81 and the upper early 82. Different bearings used and all sorts of other things, including the miserable 5 part crank set up. Ugh, an S&S crank now resides in its place. Sourcing the right parts was a treat. I did keep every original part that ever came off of it so it’s going back nearly 100% original. I did take advantage of the factory paint program a few years back. They stripped/repainted/hand pinstriped the tins in all original colors.

Chris, I tried to find my ‘82 FLHS but it went to NC and I lost the trail. It was Candy Red metallic, everyone loved the color.
Even as they were, those 80 cu in Shovelheads sure had some low end torque.0
