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.

Our second date in August of 1979 was a motorcycle ride to Silver Creek Falls outside Silverton, Oregon. It was magical. So magical that we started planning our wedding that night, having known each other but 24 hours. A few years after we married we sacrificed that Yamaha 1100 Special to "play it safe" while we raised children. 33 years later, in 2014, to celebrate our empty nest, we purchased a Harley Davidson 2006 Heritage Softail and road it all over the country roads and highways of Oregon, Washington and Idaho. The sensory elements of sights and sounds to and from an event on our motorcycle was often even better than the event itself. I'd wear sheer little butterfly wings from time to time on those 5 glorious years before we took our bloody slide across the asphalt June, 22, 2019. We learned a lot of valuable lessons that night and in the months that followed and are quite happy to be alive. Here's our story!
