The 2008 California Bike Week: Part 5

Harley Davidson

Even though other bike manufacturers participated, the CBW was primarily a Harley Davidson event, the HD dealership in Glendale being the organizer and practically all (98 %?) of the attendees came on HD motorcycles. Harley Davidson had a large booth that featured, among other things, a stationary drag race. The best modified bike contest was also a Harley Davidson motorcycle affair. Too, most of the custom bikes on display used the HD engine in their models.

You could test ride the different Harley bikes, but since I was not qualified (no CA license) I did the next best thing – I sat on ALL the HD models on display that they placed in one long row. I would have loved to have my picture taken as I sat on each of the models, but since I went to the event by my lonesome, no pictures on the Harley’s for me this time. The best I could do was a picture of me with the HD bikes on display in the background (with the focus on the bikes, of course).
