This is Harley Davidson trivia. I will post the correct answers later. See how many you know. (I realize not everyone is going to be interested, this is directed at those who are. We are all bikers if we are in the wind). And, no you don't get a prize!! (But, it would be interesting to see who knows the most answers). 1. Harley- Davidson created two motorcycle models named for famous rallies. What are they? 2. It's 1971 and you just bought a red, white and blue Harley-Davidson with a boatail rear fender, and FL chassis and XL front end. You just bought the first of which model? 3. A Harley-Davidson motorcycle won a 15 mile race in Chicago with a time of 19:02. In Milwaukee, in the same year, the first full-time employee was hired. What year am I referring to? 4. What was the famous paint scheme on the 1971 FX called? 5. How many speed records did Leslie "Red" Parkhurst break on a Harley-Davidson 61-cubic-inch racing motorcycle in 1920? Incidentally, that same year, the association came up with the term "hog" when the racing team's mascot, a pig, was carried on a victory lap after each race won by the team. 6. Who bought his first Harley bike in 1956 and posed for the cover of the '56 May issue of "The Enthusiast" sitting on a 1956 model KH? 7. What year did Harley release the Heritage Softail? 8. Why do the FXRP, FLHTPI and FXDP Harley-Davidson motorcycles have the letter '"P"? What does it stand for? 9. In what year was the FLSTS Heritage Springer introduced? 10. What year did Harley-Davidson buy a minority interest in the Buell Motorcycle Company?

But you guys did great. Incidentally, I had three Hondas before I bought my first Harley. In fact, if you ask around to other Harley riders, and they tell the truth many, many of us started out on a Honda. I had a 1980 Nighthawk, we graduated six months later to a 650 custom and then on to a 1100 Shadow. We never had much trouble with any of them. We did run the transmission out on the custom. Our 2000 Harley has almost 90,000 miles on it and we haven't done anything major. Just upkeep, and little things. As I said above, we are all in the wind. I do love my Harley and can't say I would ever go back, (can't quite explain it) but I respect all of those who feel the wind in their own way. I will have ten more trivia questions posted soon in case anyone want to give a few more a try.
