The Harley-Davidson Road Tour will run from Friday, August 6 through Saturday, August 14 at its new location at the intersection of 3rd and Lazelle streets in downtown Sturgis. All Harley-Davidson activities in Sturgis are free and include the following:
• New 2011 Harley-Davidson motorcycles, parts & accessories, and MotorClothes along with the latest technology and customization options.
• Harley Owners Group (H.O.G.) Pin Stop
• Harley-Davidson Custom Ride-In Show, Thursday August 12
• XR1200 Racing Experience
• Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) Custom Motorcycle Raffle
• Free Bike Wash and Harley-Davidson ABS (anti-lock braking system) demonstrations
• Willie G., H.O.G. and Ride to Sturgis Commemorative Merchandise

Harley-Davidson demo rides for 2011 motorcycles will be available in Sturgis at Hersrud's Chevrolet Dealership near Interstate 90 at Exit 30 from Saturday, August 7 to Friday, August 13. Riders can try as many bikes as they want, but must have a valid motorcycle license and adhere to riding gear requirements and safety rules. There will also be a 2011 Harley-Davidson motorcycle display at this location, including a Fit Shop display for motorcycle customization.

The past few years, most Harley-Davidson activities for the Sturgis Rally were located in Rapid City, S.D. at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center. While Sturgis, S.D., will be the new center of Harley-Davidson activities, riders and enthusiasts can still enjoy the historic attractions and scenic riding in the legendary Black Hills region.

Some of the most creative and passionately customized bikes at the Sturgis Rally will be displayed at the Harley-Davidson Ride-In Show, on Thursday, Aug. 12 at 3rd & Lazelle streets. There is a $10 entry fee, and all proceeds will be donated to MDA with cash prizes awarded in all categories.

Race fans will be able to check out the AHDRA Screamin' Eagle Performance Parts Race at the Sturgis Dragway on Saturday, August 14 and Sunday, August 15.

These fork leg assemblies may have been incorrectly assembled, using the wrong springs.

With the wrong springs, suspension will suffer, thus reducing traction. Also, while parked the wrong springs may affect parking stability.

Harley will notify owners and dealers, and repair the effected motorcycles free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on July 26, 2019. Owners may contact H-D at 1-414-343-4056.

All-new for the CVO family is the two-bikes-in-one Softail Convertible. Replacing the CVO Softail Springer of 2009, the FL-based Convertible is built to offer both cruising good looks as well as comfortable light-touring abilities with a set of detachable creature comforts. The detachable kit includes a compact fairing with color-matched paint and smoke windscreen, leather-covered saddlebags with buffalo-hide inserts, and a leather passenger pillion and backrest, both with matching buffalo-hide inserts. All parts are quickly removable without tools to transform the Convertible from a touring bike into a stripped down boulevard cruiser.

"The CVO Street Glide is an all-new model to the line and possibly the best in the bunch. My pal Pete Brissette calls the standard Street Glide quite possibly my favorite Harley, as it straddles the line between the tough-guy cruisers and touring-manic FLs. After my first ride on a Glide, I can't argue.

The CVO version of the SG is equipped with a laundry list of features like a Screamin Eagle Twin Cam 110 powertrain, a pair of blackened 18-inch, seven-spoke Agitator contrast-chrome wheels with matching full-floating rotors, hand-adjustable rear shock preload, standard ABS and cruise control, security alarm, electrifying paint and a 40-watt Harmon/Kardon stereo system.

The program, dubbed “Fly & Buy,” will fly buyers into Milwaukee to take ownership of their new motorcycles.
"Harley owners are the most passionate riders around," says Milwaukee Harley-Davidson owner Chaz Hastings. "I felt compelled to create a special experience for riders to take delivery of their Harley where the legend was born. This is something every Harley rider should experience once in their lifetime."
Hastings says the dealership’s loyalty efforts led to a 17% increase in new bike sales this past quarter.
The company is casting its net nationwide to give new bike buyers a one-of-a-kind experience in a package valued at $1,000. The package does not add to the cost of the bike. The entire Fly & Buy adventure includes:
• One-way air fare to Harley's hometown in Milwaukee to purchase the bike
• Accommodations at the Iron Horse hotel, a boutique hotel catering to motorcycle enthusiasts. It has covered motorcycle parking, an on-site bike wash and designated space in each suite to store boots and hang leathers
• Visit to the Harley-Davidson Museum
• Behind-the-scenes tour of the Harley-Davidson powertrain plant where V-Twin engines are made
• Transfers around town in a Milwaukee Harley-Davidson Hummer limousine until the bike is picked up
• A walk-through of parts and accessories options and selection of a free Milwaukee Harley-Davidson T-shirt
• A guided ride through the scenic Holy Hill area, stopping for dinner at Madame Belle's saloon
• Map and suggested route for the ride home
The dealership also offers a "Wild Hogs" option for groups of four or more buyers. Those groups also receive a discount on the price of the motorcycles.
The recently introduced program has already attracted buyers from Texas, Georgia and Alaska, the dealership says.
Hastings brought events like the Adult Pinewood Derby, Ultimate Fantasy Bike Wash, Midwest's Largest Chili Cookoff, and a newly launched Roadhouse game room to grow the dealership.
"I want to bring back the camaraderie and authenticity that the Harley-Davidson lifestyle stands for," he says.

The XR1200X is Harley-Davidson Sportster performance honed to its finest edge. Introduced in 2010 for export markets only, the XR1200X will be available through Harley-Davidson dealers in the United States as a 2011 model. Equipped with fully-adjustable Showa front and rear suspension components, the 2011 XR1200X can be dialed in to match rider weight, riding style and road conditions. The XR1200X combines this premium suspension with enhanced front brakes and the responsive punch of a high-compression, 1200cc Evolution V-Twin engine in a dynamic, street-performance motorcycle.
With a tank and tail section designed to evoke the legendary Harley-Davidson XR750 - the king of the gritty American flat-track scene - the XR1200X puts its mechanical character on display. Wide flat-track bars and rearset footpegs position an assertive rider for active control. The XR1200X has a blacked-out powertrain and exhaust, revised tank graphics, and black wheels with an orange rim pinstripe. The XR1200X will be offered in two colors: Black Denim and White Hot Denim.
Key XR1200X Features
• Showa Big Piston Front fork (BPF) eliminates many of the internal components used in a cartridge-type fork, resulting in lighter overall fork weight. The large-diameter of the BPF internal piston allows a reduction in damping pressure for outstanding feedback and smooth action. Rebound and compression damping may be fine tuned with adjuster screws located on top of the fork bolts. The spring pre-load is adjusted with a M5 hex screw on the axle holders.
• Showa rear shocks feature 36mm pistons with piggy-back nitrogen charged reservoirs. The compression damping may be adjusted with a knob on top of the reservoir. Rebound is adjusted with a thumb wheel on the lower clevis. Rear spring pre-load is also adjustable.
• Nissin® dual front brakes feature 292mm full-floating rotors and four-piston calipers.
• Isolation-mounted XL Evolution 1200 cc V-Twin engine with black powdercoat finish features downdraft Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI), high-performance camshafts, precision oil-cooled cylinder heads and a large-capacity oil cooler. Compression ratio is 10:1. The engine is rated at 74 ft. lbs. peak torque @ 4000 rpm (per SAE J1349).
• Upswept, high-volume 2-1-2 straight-shot exhaust system with satin black finish offers extra cornering clearance.
• Chassis features a high-performance designed tubular mild steel frame. The rigid, cast-aluminum swingarm is engineered to enhance handling.
• Dunlop® Qualifier D209 tires were designed specifically for the XR1200X.
• Three-spoke lightweight cast-aluminum wheels, 18-inch front / 17-inch rear, are finished in gloss black with an orange pinstripe on the rim.
• Wide, black dirt-track handlebar for enhanced steering leverage and comfort.
• Rearset foot pegs for additional cornering clearance.
• Compact instrument display with white-faced analog tachometer, digital speedometer, dual trip meter and clock.
• 3.5-gallon fuel tank with aircraft-style aluminum alloy fuel filler.
• 29.2-inch seat height with standard passenger pillion and foot pegs.
• Optional Harley-Davidson Smart Security System.

Wednesday marks the 35th anniversary of his Wembley Stadium jump in London, where he crashed and broke his back while trying to jump over 13 buses.

"True Evel: The Amazing Story of Evel Knievel" will run from July 10 to Sept. 6.

Among the items there will be his signature leathers and cane, personal photographs and letters, and the half-motorcycle, half-rocket "Skycycle" used to jump the Snake River Canyon. Artifacts will be from Harley-Davidson and the Knievel family.

Knievel, who died in 2007, often used the Harley-Davidson XR-750 and was sponsored by the company in the 1970s.

Knievel's oldest son, Kelly, will be at the museum July 17 to talk about his father.

For more than 20 years, the company has set up shop at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center in Rapid City, showing its motorcycles and other products. This year the company is moving the operation to Sturgis.
Harley's director of consumer events marketing says the middle of Sturgis seems like "the ideal place" for the company because it will provide an opportunity to reach more people. Steve Piehl says the company made a similar move to an outdoor rally experience for Daytona Bike Week this year.
Sturgis is about 30 miles from Rapid City.
