Harley-Davidson has marked the incredible milestone of 100 years in Australia with a ride from Brisbane to Melbourne, taking in several key dealerships en route. Joining was company legend and all-round nice bloke Bill Davidson, the great grandson of William A Davidson, who, along with brothers Arthur and Walter Davidson and William S Harley, founded the company way back in 1903.
Indeed, 100 years ago Harley-Davidson opened its first dealership — Morgan & Wacker — in Australia, making it the oldest dealership on the planet. Pretty impressive, given the distance from the mothership in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

When it comes to bike luggage, my preference is usually a set of soft saddle bags; you can throw them on and off easily, and they make sense whether you’re packing for a day trip or a months-long adventure.

Keeping Girls On Motorcycles
On any given weekend at your local motorcycle club, you will see throngs of kids blasting around on dirt bikes having a great time. More often than not, it’s at these local club tracks where kids are introduced to motorbikes. Boys and girls (under 10 years old) get out there and simply enjoy riding their bike without too much competition. Not many of the kids or parents care where they finish in the pack — it’s just about having fun.
