Robin Bradley’s popular comment column this month takes a look at a brand strategy that is allowing Harley-Davidson to “bring outsiders in” and speak to new generations of ‘Digital Boomers’. Highlights this month include the findings of the latest exclusive AMD/Baird authorised Harley-Davidson dealer quarterly research survey, suggesting steady sales growth and a positive consumer response to the Motor Company’s 2014 model range introductions and changes.
Features include our look at those model line-up changes, news of the return to production of an S&S powered ‘muscle bike’ being manufactured in France by Avinton, news about AMDs World Championship program affiliate invitational custom bike show at the Harley Museum in downtown Milwaukee during the 110th anniversary celebration weekend, and a feature on another French built custom bike, Laurent Dutruel’s XR 1200 Turbo, with which he added top honours in the Street Performance class to the second place he scooped in the Freestyle class at this year’s 10th annual AMD World Championship of Custom Bike Building at the Big Bike expo at Essen, Germany earlier this year.
