HEAVY DUTY Magazine - Issue #201 - Jul/Aug 2025

After our ‘bicentennial’ celebrations last issue, we’re back into it with the best of the old and the pick of the new. An obvious choice to celebrate evolution with the heart and soul of the original is the 2025 Heritage Classic. Paul clocked up the mileage on that one and came away smiling. Dave rolled out on the 2025 Low Rider ST and re-discovered Harley’s version of the Swiss Army knife. Whatever the ride brief, the FXLRST’s a good tool for the job. Leading the custom line-up is Low Life Royalty, Scott’s understated 2003 Anniversary Softail with a gangster soul. Blurring the lines between long-haul tourer and race-ready beast is Rhys’s Road Glide. At the other end of the spectrum is Matt’s cheeky Sportster chopper, “That’s the point of choppers, right? Doing what you want, not what’s expected…” Which brings us to Good Vibrations. We had this surfie-themed Panhead picked before Beach Boy Brian Wilson passed. Now, this thing is different! Bikies invading the beach was also part of RattleTrap and we’ve captured that, too. Big rides are a big part of our riding palette, and the Southern Cross Cannonball fills that roll perfectly for riders of bikes built pre-1949. We’ve scooped that one up. Better brakes were needed for our Road King Special Packhorse so Mick and Brian made that happen. They also got On The Tools to share the story on fitting steering head bearings. In Westy’s Shed, John has been making his Super Glide his own with a few proven mods. All of this and the usual columns from people who live and breathe what we love. Ride with us.
