Harley Crossbones

Yeah Ok I know it’s not an 883 or even a 1200 sportster but sometimes when you get an itch you have to scratch it!!

I want to go on the record here by saying that the harley Crossbones really presses all the right buttons for me. If you’ve read any of my chopper articles or visited my chopper site you know that I love bobbers. You may find this hard to believe but there was a time when the majority of Harley riders weren’t Doctors lawyers and dentists.  Back in the mists of time they were servicemen and pilots returning from the second world war.

These guys wanted to recapture the thrills of battle and flying so set about customising their preferred form of transport the motorcycle. They removed as much weight as possible so that the power to weight ration was higher and the bikes handled better. Harley have adopted the look and ethos of these bikes with the Crossbones.  I wonder if  the launch of the crossbones and the number of  servicemen returning from Iraq and Afghanistan is coincidence??

If you are considering the Crossbones personally I would hunt down a Black demim one they just look, right compared to the other colors. Everything from the springer front end with mini apehanger bars to the sprung seat are designed to make the bike look as authentic as possible. If you didn’t know it was a softtail you might easily think that it was a rigid framed bike.

This attention to detail and adding degrees of comfort will make this a real road warrior.

Well Done Harley D another winner.
