Backroads With Betsy: An Evolution of an Experience
The Dyna model family, which goes by the designation FXD, consists of six motorcycles all built around the same chassis. The Twin Cam engine is rubber mounted to the frame thereby reducing vibration versus the counterbalanced engine on the Softails. The rear spring loaded shocks are also visible versus the hidden rear shocks on the Softails. The Dyna models offer a very smooth ride and boast the lightest clutch lever effort of any of the other platforms. Shown is the Dyna Street Bob.
Seven models make up Harley-Davidsons touring family. At a minimum each bike has sidebags and a windshield and/or fairing for riders who like to tour. All touring models are equipped with a new six-gallon fuel tank, and an electronic throttle so wires are hidden inside the handlebars and can accomodate the optional cruise control system. Shown is the Ultra Classic Electra Glide.
To some people life in the fast lane equals jet-setting jaunts, late nights, and hard-partying ways. Karen Stoffer defines “fast lane” differently. To her it runs at dizzying speeds and higher rpms than Paris Hilton could ever imagine. Try nearly 200 miles per hour. Or a blazing fast quarter-mile lasting just over six seconds.
The Softail model family consists of eight models each with its own custom appeal from the very popular low slung Fat Boy to the new-for-2008 raked-out Rocker. The heart of the Softails is the Twin Cam 96B; B standing for counterbalanced, meaning the rigid mounted engine is counterbalanced to offset vibration. Shown here is the Heritage Softail Classic.
