In this issue

HEAVY DUTY's Sportster cover bike in the Nov/Dec issue 161 from Adelaide Bike Works Harley-Davidson. It was entered in the Battle of the Kings, a customising competition run by Harley through their dealers worldwide. ABW made top three in the world, along with Thailand and Spain. We also have a feature on Craig Huddleston, an Indian rider from WA who lost his left arm and shoulder to a flesh eating virus. One year on he has converted his Chief to a trike through TC Custom Trikes in Perth and is back on the road. Great story. We have a full test on the new 2019 H-D FXDR power cruiser, 114 cubes of serious muscle and a big feature on the H-D 115TH Anniversary party in Milwaukee. We were there and we saw everything! And as always, HEAVY DUTY offers pages of Tech Torq tips and useful information from our Technical Editor Doc Robinson. With over 15 features, readers rides, regular columns, news, products and giveaways, Issue 161 of HEAVY DUTY is sure to have something for every Harley-Davidson and V-Twin rider. Get yours now!

Bridgestone Battlecruise H50

BRIDGESTONE says: The H50 has superior tread life and a perfect combination of performance and grip on wet and dry surfaces. They promise relaxed cruising, long life, smooth handling and superior comfort as key H50 features. Which is what you would expect the PR blurb to say. They also claim the handling capabilities allow heavyweight bikes to turn smoothly at both low and high speeds, minimising fall-in characteristics in turns.
