For example an engine cruising at a speed of only 2000 rpm, propels the pistons up and down the cylinder walls 33 times per second! Astounding! Really! It would seem a good oil and filter change would cure this problem. Sorry, particles not trapped in the engines oil filter can stay inside your engine only to contaminate your...

A classic Harley motorcycle is not that much different than a new Harley when it comes to proper preparation for the winter season off the road. The basics are much the same. A dedicated owner will want to protect the motorcycle inside and out from any form of damage over the winter months.

s a decisive day in the history of American automobile culture in 1902, when two young friends left their stable jobs at a Milwaukee engineering firm to embark upon a venture that would irrevocably shape the course of motorcycle history forever. This was the day when William S Harley and Arthur Davidson designed and built the first single-cylinder engine (400CC) right out of a toolshed in Davidson's backyard. Although though the first motor was reliable, it was enlarged because it was underpowered. The initial frame was too weak to hold the new engine so it was replaced with a stronger, more substantial structure that was built similar to the prototype.

From an uncertain beginning in a Milwaukee basement in 1903, Harley Davidson has witnessed and been through everything from the Great Depression to two world wars. It was once the world's largest producer of motorcycles, but as a result of increasing competition from Europe and Japan, Harley's sales had once shrunk to a mere 10,000 units per year during the 1950s. These nearly bought about the downfall of the once-proud giant in the motorcycle industries.
