Back in June, the Blue Oval discontinued the F-150 Harley-Davidson Edition. The news didn’t really register then, but while I was looking around for weird Harley-branded products, I remembered that “the only four-door Harley” was no more. I drove one of these trucks at a Ford press event a while back, and while I thought […]
When I think about racing bikes, Harleys aren’t the first machines which spring to mind.
