Motorcycle Travel Series by @velimir 'A Bike With an A' (Part #222)

A bike with an "A"

I've just finished my espresso at the workshop and I'm having a chat with Bojan, who is telling me about an electronic device enabling muffler noise control on a push of a button. Weird, eh? There are so many expensive gadgets that we're not aware of...

Let's take a closer look at this motorcycle. Harley-Davidson has a vast amount of models and they change over the years, not to mention the number of possible customizations. Yours truly's best guess is that this might a Sportster with modified handlebars but he is likely to be wrong. I usually write it down but this morning it slipped my mind. Please be free to let me know if I'm wrong.

Low hanging luggage on a cruiser is always a nice sight. Compared it with high-seat travel bikes and their sturdy square aluminium 'refrigerator' boxes, usually covered with stickers if the bike has been places, this is a just too cool way to ride long distances. I am only comparing from my own aesthetic perspective. Guys riding those bikes have their own perspective, which is just as valid.

These ornaments always look good on a big bike. They follow the 'spooky' idea originally invented long back in the day. This bike doesn't have enough of them to be "in style" but we can accept the low-key vibe.

Not sure I'm too keen on this front light. It is small and just not looking good enough. I also doubt that it covers the road well if streets are not lit well. This needs an immediate replacement in a form of a customized, much cooler one. Maybe a triple setup. Well, if the bike was mine... :-)

Controls are simple and this fits well for a medium size cruiser.

The mufflers are standard make but awesome enough as they are. Packing deep low sound just as intended by original creators of this nice engine. Maybe that noise control device gets installed on this bike. Not sure, though.

Same thing with the gas tank. It is appealing but a standard model. Let's be fully aware that this bike came in for a customization job, it's not on its way out. I will try to come by when finished and we'll compare the results. It'll be interesting to see it the changes.

We come to the big 'A'. Anarchy, of course. A symbol of freedom from the bonds of state and the system. This one is likely inspired by Sons Of Anarchy, a TV show that I already wrote about. I'd never put that on my bike. Simply because I don't believe that the road to freedom lies in buying a cruiser and sticking things to it. It is more a display of owners point of view, an ego if you like if anything. Freedom lies in your mind, the only place where one is bound to find it if searching long enough. No stickers can replace it.

Enjoy your day! :-)
