"With a new six-speed powertrain, standard fuel injection and other upgrades for 2006, Harley-Davidson's chopper-style Dyna model, the FXDWGI Wide Glide, is living wide on the Hog. Just don't expect the deluxe treatment in concert with this much attitude."

"GAINESVILLE, Fla. (March 20, 2006) - Two-time defending NHRA POWERade Pro Stock Motorcycle champion Andrew Hines rode his Harley-Davidson Screamin’ Eagle/Vance & Hines V-Rod to a semifinal round finish Sunday at the 37th annual ACDelco NHRA Gatornationals at Gainesville Raceway. It was what the team considered to be the lone highlight at a track that has normally been the site of so many momentum-building performances in the past. Fans at Gainesville Raceway have seen the first Harley-Davidson victory (2004) and the first six-second run (2005), just to name a couple of historic moments. "

"The Ford Harley-Davidson F-150 is a case in point. To create it, Ford dressed up an F-150 SuperCab pickup with a billet-style grille meant to evoke chopper brightwork, 22-inch forged aluminum wheels and plenty of Harley badges inside and out. It's the only F-150 that offers full-time all-wheel drive."
