Harley-Davidson Motor Company 3

The year was 2005, and my aging father had caught the biker bug again. Having ridden motorcycles since he was about 14, through my own childhood years, it had been a few decades since Dad had owned a street bike himself. He had always wanted to own a Harley, so he visited a nearby dealership. He rode out with a beautiful 2005 candy apple red Dyna Super Glide that day.

Harley-Davidson To Bring the Revolution Max Back Home

by Road Dirt Crew | Jun 9, 2026 | Industry & Racing | 2 |

Harley-Davidson announced that they were bringing production of the Revolution Max platform back to the United States, as part of their “Back to the Bricks” strategy. The move will bring machining, powertrain, assembly, painting, and final vehicle assembly back to H-D facilities in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The transition from Thailand back home is expected ahead of the 2028 model year, sometime in mid 2027. Given all the flak the motorcycle company has taken in recent years, this is welcome and encouraging news for fans of the brand, and for the thousands of workers who will be hired for preparation and production.

“Oh yeah, I remember this well.”
Such was my reaction upon taking the 2025 Harley-Davidson Street Glide out for a check ride, once I got it back home. On loan from our friends at EAGLERIDER, the 2025 Street Glide would be my steed for our trip to the spring Thunder Beach Motorcycle Rally in Panama City Beach, Florida. Having ridden the 2024 model down at Daytona Bike Week back in 2024, I felt instantly familiar with Harley’s popular touring motorcycle.
Good thing too, evidenced by how our trip began the following morning.

The paddock and grid saw teams from Australia, Spain, Italy, Brazil and Indonesia as well as USA line up to race. The races both days delivered KotB level action, with races coming down to the final laps and final sprints to the checkered flag.

Bikes That Catch Our Eye for 2026

by Road Dirt Crew | Jan 29, 2026 | Bikes & Gear, Legendary Bikes | 2 |

Every January, the motorcycle brands start debuting their new year models, with previews and “sneak peeks“ for the motorcycle media. Year after year, it kind of gets monotonous and boring- different colors, new paint schemes and patterns, some new tech in the electronics package, maybe a little tweak in the brakes, suspension or powerplant, and/or more farkles in the OEM accessory parts bin. So many of the motorcycle media outlets feel the need to kiss up to the brands, running glowing previews of every detail of a “new” bike, even if the specs were the same as last year, just wearing a new colorway.
Same pablum and blather, different year…
