issue #193 out noW!

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.

HEAVY DUTY #193 will be on sale Monday 4th March, 2024 in newsagents and better bike shops across Australia and New Zealand.

OUR BEST M8: SPECIAL EDITION

Harley-Davidson unleashed the Milwaukee-Eight (M8) engine with the 2017 model range and the all-new eight-valve engine has proven to be an awesome basis for cruisers, tourers and hot rods.

We’ve got lots of mates and we’re going to share them in a special collectors’ magazine that we’re calling OUR BEST M8.

We have gathered our favourite M8 road tests and customs together, along with M8-specific tech and a selection of fresh, new material devoted to the modern wonder that is the M8.

We are very proud of the high-quality presentation of HEAVY DUTY Magazine and OUR BEST M8 will be the same heavy 200gsm cover stock with coated 80gsm for the body text in a 148-page package. Proudly printed right here in Australia, and for just $17.95 you’ll get postage & tracking thrown in.

HEAVY DUTY wants to see pics of YOU and YOUR BIKE from back in the day!

This is for “Big Twin Memories”, a new section in the magazine showcasing what life was like when you first started your love affair with Harley, Indian, Triumph or whatever Big Twin made you smile. So dig out a couple of old photos and tell us about what got your engine started, what you were doing at the time or perhaps some of the rides you did in this great continent of ours.
