This week’s so is all about one of the most iconic Harley-Davidson Motorcycles of all-time, the Heritage Softail and we bring in a very special guest from Harley-Davidson Australia, Miss Alex Bromley.Harley produced the FXST Softail® in 1984 and it was an instant success. In 1986, the Heritage became available. The bikes looked like the rigid-based choppers of the 70's, but without the painful ride. Since then, the Softail® has remained an integral part of Harley-Davidson's® family of models. The family has gotten bigger, but Heritage Classic stays just as popular as it was in the beginning.With this week’s guest, it’s very likely that you would have never heard of Alex. She isn’t a celebrity, she isn’t Insta famous but what she is, is one of the most passionate Harley riders you’ll ever meet. Hailing from Sydney Australia, we talk to Alex about her role at the Motor Company and a few of the recent adventures she’s been on.As always, we finish up with a few listener questions and some great prizes to give away.
Last week we had a question sent in that asked us what happened to William Harley and Arthur Davidson.Other than knowing that they were two of the men who founded the Bar & Shield, we don’t really know too much about them so this week, we decided we’d dedicate this show to them and learn more about what they did and where they ended up.Whether you're a die hard Harley rider or you wouldn't be caught pushing one around a deserted parking lot, there is no denying that few motorcycle companies have achieved the success that Harley-Davidson has over their 117 year history. But who were the visionaries behind this iconic brand?Listen in to find out what we found.#WeBuildRiders

This week, we got an email from a Motor Company regarding the 2021 Model Year range in terms of some upgrades to existing models and what’s been culled from the lineup.

Have you ever wondered why people refer to Harleys as HOG's? The answer goes back a century and may surprise you.For nearly 100 years, Harley-Davidson motorcycles have been referred to as "hogs." Although you may assume that this nickname has something to do with the size or sound of their motorcycles (or perhaps the size or sound of their riders), the true origins of the nickname are rooted in racing. Benny gives us the back story of this one.We then talk about three very underrated Harley-Davidson Motorcycles, the 2011 XR1200x, the 1983 FXRT Sport Glide and the 2006 VRSCR Street Rod.As always, we answer some listener questions, and have some great products to give away, thanks to Harley-Heaven Online.Thanks for listening to our show, we appreciate the support.#WeBuildRidersHarley-Heaven Rumble Podcast Sponsors:· Pirate Life Brewing· Dixxon Flannel Co· Legends Suspension· Jericho Australia Beard Products

Instead of calling it quits, the couple flew to Cairns, bought a second hand Ultra Limited and took off one epic adventure along the East Coast of Australia. To us, this is what Harley is all about, and they have a great story to tell.Lastly, the new 2021 Harley-Davidson New Products Catalogue was just released so we go through that and talk about what’s new for 2021. The Screamin’ Eagle 131 Crate Engine for Softail’s is just one of the products that has us super excited.As always, we answer some listener questions, and have some great products to give away, thanks to Harley-Heaven Online.This is one of the best shows we’ve done; we hope you enjoy it just as much as we did putting it together.Thanks for listening to our show, we appreciate the support.#WeBuildRidersHarley-Heaven Rumble Podcast Sponsors:Harley-Heaven https://www.harleyheaven.com.au/Pirate Life Brewing https://piratelife.com.au/Dixxon Flannel Co https://www.dixxonquality.com.au/Legends Suspension https://www.legendsuspensions.com/Jericho Australia Beard Products https://jerichoaustralia.com/collections/all-products

PLUS he touches on how a helmet should really fit. To finish up on, Ben dives deeper into the Harley-Davidson Reflex Rider System. This is the technology that comes stock on the 2020 Harley-Davidson Touring Models. Thanks for the support of our show, we really appreciate it!
Show #3 from Harley-Heaven Melbourne is another interesting show, talking about three different H-D topics.Firstly, Mick and Ben get stuck into the 2020 Harley-Davidson Low Rider S. Both boys have been riding one of these lately, and provide some good insight into this exciting motorcycle. Next they dive into the world of products that H-D have built over the years that you probably didn't know about. Did you know that H-D once produced Drone Rocket engines? Neither did we....Lastly, and this is a big one. The boys talk about the all-new and very cool Screamin' Eagle 131 Cubic Inch Crate Engine, which is due to land in Australia this 2020.This third show is just over half an hour, and it is still a little rough around the edges but we hope you enjoy it. If you have any topics you'd like discussed on our show, or have any questions, leave a message for us at the Harley-Heaven Facebook page.
