Heavy Duty Magazine

HEAVY DUTY #193 March/April 2024 is landing now in subscribers’ mailboxes and will be on sale right across Australia in the coming days.
Harley’s 2024 range has been released and we’ve got the full story on the new CVO Road Glide ST as well as the CVO Street Glide and CVO Road Glides. In fact, we’ve had a look at everything the Motor Company’s got on the showroom floor for this year. Every single offering for Australia and New Zealand.
When HEAVY DUTY road tests a bike, we like to get out of town and ride the wheels off it. Dave did exactly that; riding the 2023 CVO Road Glide from Sydney to Brisbane along roads that add smiles to the ride. After 2000km, he’s come up with a solid review.
Dave and John ‘Westy’ Rooth tag-teamed a BMW Roctane, and both came away happy with the experience. Jeff Ware went a bit further to test the new Royal Enfield Shotgun but also came home happy.
Fergus wants to bring back flames and chrome. His 143ci M8 Flame Train shows what he’s talking about. Bit of a monster this one!
An equally strong custom is the 1928 JDH from David Reidie. Less really is more. Not forgetting a traditional straight-leg Panhead with flames and apehangers.
Mick added a cam and exhaust to Packhorse before it was tuned to perfection. Of course he took it drag racing.
The 2023 Vicla Nationals moved down the road and we’ve got all of the good stuff from this event where people actually ride the bikes on show!
All of this as well as our regulars: Tech Torq, and Gripes of Rooth.
The print version of HEAVY DUTY #193 will be on sale Monday 4th March, 2024 in newsagents and better bike shops across Australia and New Zealand.
