Harley by Porsche Design ?, 133 hp Twin Options

I went into the shop for the mail a few weekends ago and checked out some Harleys parked uo and down the street. it was the annual Glendale Harley Love Ride. Eye candy for 4 blocks, about a thousand bikes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)
One that caught my attention was this silver one with the Porsche crest on it. The owner said that Porsche Design had done some development on it for Harley Davidson. The badge looked like a DIY, but nonetheless the bike was hot. 133 hp also.

My left hand is sorta not working from my fault riding with a bunch of people on a poker run almost 8 years ago, it will never get well I guess. I think I lost my becareful mode as I have ridden all my life. I still have my little hotrod sporster but it's been waiting on me since the wreck. I had three v65 hondas the 83 was 130 hp stock and they are only 1100's. I went many years between wrecks, they were all single person or vehicle wrecks and all my fault. I only lost a lot of skin and one sprained ankle on the other wrecks one of which was about 85mph. I came to the conclusion that if I didn't hit any thing I could manage a fall really well. The last one I don't remember the fall. I came away with 5 broke ribs and a cracked vertrabre and a month long concussion. The full facehelmet has some serious cracks in it. It was just a grassy ditch at about 65mph. In my opinion except for the liquids in the frame the vrod is just a expensive copy of a high tech 83 jap bike.

I see a plain ole 88 harley held wide open till the rear tire explodes several times every year at ROT in austin. You should see the exhaust pipes glow.
