Yep, that's the one.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

Always wear a helmet, eye protection, and protective clothing. Never ride under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Re: Saftey at a Harley Biker Bar
AMF was quite a powerhouse in its heyday; they were involved in NASA space projects, made bombs and other munitions for the US military, large scale food processing eqiupment and systems, etc, etc. But when they purchased Harley, it became the one product line they were most recognised by (with the bowling alley equipment a close second).totalmotorcycle wrote:LOL.. is that true? AMF that used to own Harley-Davidson is the same AMF that owns Bowling Alleys?

Re: Saftey at a Harley Biker Bar
They are listed as still being in various industries but I always associate AMF with bowling equipment first...Gummiente wrote:AMF was quite a powerhouse in its heyday; they were involved in NASA space projects, made bombs and other munitions for the US military, large scale food processing eqiupment and systems, etc, etc. But when they purchased Harley, it became the one product line they were most recognised by (with the bowling alley equipment a close second).totalmotorcycle wrote:LOL.. is that true?

One thing you can count on: You push a man too far, and sooner or later he'll start pushing back.

Re: Safety at a Harley Biker Bar
Does this bar somehow say it is specifically for Harley riders only or is it just frequented by Harley riders in general? By “Biker Bar” do you mean it is somehow gang affiliated in some way? If not park where you like and make some new friends. If it is, go elsewhere for your food and drinks.Marvin wrote:When I pull into the parking lot riding my Japanese Scooter of the local HD Biker Bar should I park next to the full custom HD, or should I park next to the std. 883 HD Sportster?

Re: Saftey at a Harley Biker Bar
Funny thing, the first time I saw AMF and Harley together, the first thing that came to my mind was bicycles and basketballs... Voit was a big part of AMF for a long time as well...Gummiente wrote:AMF was quite a powerhouse in its heyday; they were involved in NASA space projects, made bombs and other munitions for the US military, large scale food processing eqiupment and systems, etc, etc. But when they purchased Harley, it became the one product line they were most recognised by (with the bowling alley equipment a close second).totalmotorcycle wrote:LOL.. is that true?

LOL.. is that true? AMF that used to own Harley-Davidson is the same AMF that owns Bowling Alleys? I bowl 5 and 10 pin and never made the connection. !totalmotorcycle wrote:Every time I see that name I think "Bowling Alley" (which I know they own) and couldn't picture them owning H-D or running it.JC Viper wrote:AMF, not AFM.

Actually I read somewhere that the Indian (the nation, not the bike buider) Car company Tata was actively looking into buying up HD. If they did so, would that not make HD's Curry Cookers????
Always ask why.

Re: Safety at a Harley Biker Bar
Tata motors is apparently growing. They purchased Jaguar. I've always liked Jag, but I think Ford screwed them up and if I could actually afford one, knowing that it was a Tata would be a bit of a turn off. It would be funny if they purchase HD. Curry is no joking matter either.
