I have recently decided I would like to be certified to work as a Harley Davidson motorcycle mechanic, but everywhere I look, I have to be an intern or have some kind of college under my belt.
Is there anywhere in San Antonio, Texas where I can just take THOSE classes and not have to deal with going to a college, do History, English, blah blah blah? I just want to get this done so I can move on with my life.
I love WoW i have a lvl 63 blood elf death knight and a 45 night elf warrior and a few others, I love metal. I love sexy drummers (R.I.P REV). I have an addiction to watching girls next door and americas next top model. I am also OBSESSED with that 70’s show. I love marshmallows. My favorite song is probably symphony of destruction by megadeth. I love studying politics and history. I love to go hiking. I like hair dye. I love cars. When i was little i wanted a mini harley davidson instead of a barbie car. I have a giant crush on my history teacher. Jim Gaffigan and Nick Swardson are my favorite comedians. I wear lots of pink! Tell ME ABOUT YOURSELF NOW =D oh and im not a complete geek either. I tan and work out so i’m not just a fat wow geek. so please dont make fun of me! haha k now your turn. =]
I would love a career with H-D. I have a employment history in sales although I’m only 19. I live in Maryland. I am wondering if selling Harleys is even possible for a career? With a struggling econemy and a state that gets cold in the winter. Assuming I do decent at the job, about how much can I expect to bring in?
To all you walking/talking encyclopedias of worthless trivia, let’s see who gets this one.
In 1977, Harley-Davidson produced what politically incorrect model that had become one of its most controversial?
More clues:
They wore metallic gray paint (DuPont Imron 44437 Ice Blue Metallic), decals (H-D part no. 61651-77 and 61650-77) on the tank, while the front fender sported decal (H-D part no. 59100-77).
They were built across the model range in irregular numbers including 44 FLH Electra Glides, 228 Super Glides (all FXEs with the 3.5-gallon “bread loaf” tank borrowed from H-D’s Italian Aermacchi cousins), 299 XLH Sportsters, 45 XLCH Sportsters and 15 XLT Sportsters.
They were produced in one batch only, and forgotten almost immediately.
In 12 years of researching the model, Steve Edmondson (Edmonson.com) has been unable to locate a single review or magazine ad.
While it’s been suggested Harley-Davidson pulled it for political reasons, poor sales were probably the true motivation.
With just 631 produced, it was clearly a limited production, yet how is it that only 23 models are accounted for today? It’s very likely that dealerships changed the sheet metal to more broadly acceptable motifs to better move product, and/or that owners changed the paint in light of a changing political climate. It’s also possible that Harley-Davidson itself bought up surviving examples to get them off the market.
The real reason this model is so unknown — never appearing in a single official Harley history, and Harley-Davidson refused to even acknowledge its existence until just recently.
As it is, they’re simply a casualty of war, a forgotten foot soldier in Harley’s mid-1970s bid to re-engage the market it almost lost, and a model The Motor Company would apparently just as soon forget.
I’ll be back Friday or Saturday afternoon with the answer.
Let’s see who REALLY knows thier Harley trivia!
Wow, I wasn’t expecting so many correct answers!
Unfortunetly, YA’s only allows me to award to tthe points to one, so I gotta go with the first to post the right answer.
Way ta go, Buster Brown.
And to the putz that said he didn’t know, and just spewed his bias (what comes out the south end of a north bound bull), the article stated that even though it sold new for ,127 in 1977, it’s value now is ,000-,000.
Somehow I doubt you rice paddy refugee is ever gonna hit those numbers.
