I don't have a problem believing that the 103 is going to become the standard engine....don't buy for a minute that a 2011 was accidently sent to a dealer....

Well with the economy in the ******* they have to do something but i really dont think they H/D can stand to get real crazy . Hell they are about down the tubes along with a lot of other companys including the one that makes the fuel fittings where I USED to work.. Id believe maybe some color changes but thats about it.. Time will tell and I agree its too early..

Why would anyone buy a 96" 2011 when there are still new 96" '09s to be had? Maybe that bike was en-route to the Barber Motorsports Museum for a "Last of the Air Cooled Harleys" display but was off-loaded at a dealership by mistake.

I'll bet there were a few more in the sequence; why would the photographer stop there? I'd like to see the next five frames and the end result to the RK. I wouldn't want to have to explain this to my insurance company.

It was of some poor SOB on the Dragon,

Here is the final picture in the sequence,

I wish I could remember who said of this picture: "real men don't wear leather... real men wear jeans and sneakers and ride with one foot in the air"

I've seen the those final pictures on here before. Dude had a scraped elbow, hole in his jeans, and the bike was scratched up pretty good on the right side. Don't think it hurt the tank though...just the engine guard, pipe, and floorboard.

Shameful part of the whole thing is True-Track had this on their website for years stating, "Another one bites the dust." Like a true track was the answer for improper operation at 25 miles per hour. Speed wobble....yeah right.

Time was when you could predict the new model tooling and cut over in production based on when the factory tour at York was closed. Easiest way to find out. Also I believe Harley officially introduces their next year line-up at Sturgis and closely guards everything right up until then. August 6th-14th
