Happy New Year Everyone! 2019 was another interesting year for the American motorcycle industry. Sadly, we lost an icon in the industry Arlen Ness to cancer. On the positive side we saw the two American motorcycle powerhouses release groundbreaking motorcycles, Harley-Davidson released the Livewire and Indian Motorcycle released the Challenger. The V-Twin Blog missed one big projected target, the “Life behind bars” series did not get off the ground like
Well, folks, the 79th Sturgis Motorcycle Rally is in the books and we at The V-Twin Blog had a blast. We want to give a big shout out to those of you we meet for the first time, those of you that stopped us to say hello and those of you we've known for years that we got the chance to see again.

This is the year of the electric motorcycle: Harley-Davidson just announced availability and pricing for the LiveWire, their first run at an electric motorcycle.
