If you have been following HDMC on social media platforms or if you check in every so often on the Harley-Davidson® website, you would have noticed that there has been much hype and anticipation building up to the release of this new model. It’s finally here!

Harley-Davidson® Durban hosted their second Ladies-only Garage Party on the 25th of August 2018 and once again, it was extremely well received!

When the new Softail® motorcycles arrived, they were breath-taking to say the least and were received with a mix of awe, trepidation and downright suspicion in some instances. As 2018 progressed, we got used to these beasts and make no mistake, beasts they are! Test rides were taken, track days have been had and these Milwaukee-Eight™ powered machines have proven themselves more than capable. So what could possibly give rise to a big reveal you may ask? Read on and find out!

7 years ago, I bought myself a 2005 Harley-Davidson® Dyna® Super Glide® Sport and rode her home over 2 days. When I bought her, I knew I had a gem, but by the time I got home I knew that I had found a diamond! As one does with Harleys, I changed the front end to suit my riding style, so I widened the triple trees, braced the forks and had a custom drag bar made up for me. Needless to say the change was radical and transformed her from a rough diamond to a polished piece of motorcycle art.

Garage Parties are traditionally ladies-only events, with the objective of empowering the women in our community and leaving them feeling equipped to tackle life, make tough decisions and also provides a great networking opportunity and a safe place to make new friends.

In 2015, Harley® released the Street® 750 motorcycle. This is a machine built to let you shred traffic in plenty of Dark Custom™ style. Liquid-cooled engine. Quick handling. A suspension tuned for rough roads. Fire up the blacked out engine, send some sound out the blacked out pipes, and get behind the café racer windscreen and go. Consider the traffic whipped.
