I've been a bit out of it of late, don't ride a Harley and am a
bit slow on the uptake, so I hadn't the foggiest about this.
I found the article very interesting indeed. Sounds like
some big changes happening in Harley's engine. Technology
..... the only constant in life is constant change ......
The upgrades can only be good
news for all Harley-Davidson enthusiasts and really piss 2006
Harley owners off.
PS. If you ever
find yourself one Harley over and haven't the foggiest what to
do with it .... spare the www.motorcycle-search.com
webmaster a thought, won't you? Been feeling a tad peckish
of late.

“The Twin Cam 96 has
been the biggest new-engine program in the history of
Harley-Davidson,” said Skip Metz, Program Manager-Big Twin Powertrain.
“There are more than 700 new part numbers associated with Twin Cam 96.
The only areas that didn’t change are the cylinders, rocker arms,
rocker boxes, and items in the top part of the engine. Crankshafts,
connecting rods, crank cases, transmission cases, and all the
transmission parts are new. We think this next-generation Twin Cam will
set the standard for the industry.”ent, the Twin Cam 96 and the counter-balanced 96B
are noticeably smoother than the Twin Cam 88 at most engine speeds.

Chop ’Til You Drop
Albuquerque’s First Annual Bobbers and Choppers show rumbles into
town

The logical response to hearing about
Albuquerque’s First Annual Bobbers and Choppers show is: What the hell
is it? You hear the word “chopper,” and images of helicopters
landing in the jungle, or possibly TC from Magnum PI, come to mind. You
hear the word “bobber,” and you think of antiquated haircuts, or
maybe apples in a water-filled bucket.
Noel Ortiz is happy to give definitions and distinctions.
“Choppers are motorcycles, stripped down ... they go fast as hell.
Bobbers have nobby tires, from World War II. ... Guys came home from the
war, and they were used to speed,” he says. In movie terms, you’d
see a bobber in Indiana Jones , choppers in Easy Rider .
