HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLE (LIMITED EDITION)

[Huw63]

That's mine, a Dyna Switchback (now out of production) on Phyrn-Pass in March.

I love those Austrian number plates - so large they help you do wheelies!!!

Here are my two :

1- Softail



2-Sportster

Hi Huw,
yes, you are right. I had to fix it with six screws to keep it from flying away when i start the engine. (oh those good vibrations.......)

It seems to me a bit rough and I would like to see it on the side of a figurine in 1/35, as i see in others forums the company has some problems with the scale (more like 1/48 then 1/35) and the casting quality pretty poor,many constomer was very unhappy..

It looks rough and a little inaccurate.
If you want one I would get it asap as Harley will be lawyering up on this as soon as they are aware of it. They are well known for crushing any trademark infringement.

Come on Alan - let's get your bikes here too and support small manufacturers from the MotoCo's legal department's big brother approach!

With my family problems last year my mileage on the Sportster was about the same!!!

Did HD have a pop at Andrea for their 'biker' models ?, A guy in a cut-off was one, and Arnie S as 'Terminator' on his Fatboy. I never heard that they did, but I'm probably mistak

en. I would have tho

ught the free publicity might be OK....it's not as if it's a huge


market. OOPS! my attempts at posting pics is my usual lash-up! However, here's my two. Military rig is a tribute to the 38th Welsh Division (WW1) in which my great-uncle Evan David Rowlands served.....16 Btn, RWF

Andreas offering:



Harley is one thing , and they are pretty close to TM infringement with a whole other thing:

 

[Huw63]

I think that the biker figure was discussed thoroughly at the time of release. I think Andrea didn't use the "H-D" word (s).

I know that there are some 1/35 kits that use designation (WLA etc) but no the "H-D". In larger scales I think Tamiya, Revell and Imex use the name under license.

P.s. Thanks for those who've shared their magnificent machines

Yes, and I remember Bryant and May matches were clobbered for using the winged skull on a 'special' series of matchboxes a goodly number of years ago. I remember Maz Harris being singularly unimpressed
