American-V 099

£6.99

No matter how you like your American v-twins, you’ll find something here that’ll float your boat: ancient or modern, big or small, immaculate or a bit rough round the edges. A bit like ourselves.

We try the Iron 1200 for size, check out Rod’s highly evolved 4-speed Shovel Fat Bob, a couple of tidy bolt-on-and-ride middleweights, and a Panhead chop that is marking an anniversary, but not one of The Motor Company’s.

Then there’s a faded movie star of a 40’s Model-U, we follow-up the Tsunami Glide, drop in at Arneitz Ride-In Show at this summer’s (summer??) Faaker See, Motorcycle Live, Krazy Horse in Oxfordshire and the Shield Maidenz north of Manchester. And while the editorial Buell is getting a modest lift in the lighting department, Boz’s Sport Glide is getting a massive one in, leap-frogging the 114 capacity that it should have had in the first place and boosting its 107 inches to 124!!
