Few individuals embody the resilience of the human spirit like Dave Barr, who, despite being a double amputee, traveled around the world on various Harley-Davidson motorcycles.

Barr stands out as one of the premier long-distance motorcyclists, authoring several books chronicling his adventures and earning two Guinness World Records for his remarkable journeys. Unfortunately, on November 7, the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famer passed away at the age of 72.
Born in 1952 in Los Angeles, California, Barr was the foster son of Guy and Lucille Barr, both of whom contributed to the U.S. military efforts during World War II. Following in his foster father’s footsteps, he served in the U.S. Marines during the Vietnam War and later fought for the South African Army in Angola in the early 1980s.
During his military service in Vietnam and Angola, Barr embarked on his inaugural cross-country motorcycle journey using a 1961 Harley-Davidson Panhead. He then acquired a 1972 Harley-Davidson FX Super Glide for subsequent travels.
While stationed in Angola, Barr experienced a life-changing injury that led to the amputation of both his legs. Although his military career was curtailed after this incident, his extraordinary journey as a motorcyclist was just beginning.

Returning to the U.S. in 1982, Barr modified his Super Glide to facilitate the use of prosthetics and pursued his goal of traveling the world, aiming to visit some of the most extreme terrains on two wheels.
From that point forward, Barr completed extensive journeys across Africa, Europe, Australia, and South America. He also ventured into some of the world’s most difficult landscapes, such as the Chilean Andes, the Australian Outback, the Arctic Circle, and the Sahara Desert, alongside many other breathtaking locales.
His incredible expeditions were immortalized in several books, including Riding The Edge and Riding The Ice.
In recognition of his remarkable achievements in motorcycling, Barr was inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 2000.
The AMA and PSB offer their heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Dave Barr.

LANSING, Kan. —A 22-year-old individual perished Monday afternoon after colliding with another vehicle in Lansing, Kansas.
Reports from the Kansas Highway Patrol indicate that Trevor White, 22, was riding a Harley Davidson motorcycle southbound on U73 around 2:45 p.m.
At the same time, George Steger, 89, was making a turn onto Fairlane Street from northbound U73. White impacted the passenger side of Steger’s vehicle, as stated in the crash reports. White was pronounced dead at the scene.

That’s how Richa Touthang feels, as do many bikers in the UAE. “That sound, just resonates deeply,” she shared, momentarily losing herself in the moment as she sat in her Dubai living room, clad in overalls, with four cats lounging on the carpet. In her imagination, she was already out on the open road, dressed in her biking gear, sharing the adventure through her words and stories.
It’s the closest she experiences to flying, a feeling that many other women bikers in the UAE share. When you ride, the scenery transforms; highways, roads, and fields blur into a rush. You become acutely aware of even the slightest temperature shift, whether it’s a warm breeze or a cold gust. You can feel the chill of the air against your face and the occasional grit of sand in your eyes.

It’s pure freedom on wheels.
Looking back on her most treasured experiences filled with emotions, she recalls, “In 2022, while traveling to Oman, we encountered fierce winds. It was particularly windy as we crossed Hatta, with the gusts threatening to push our bikes into other lanes. We were swerving left and right…”
Even amidst the chaos, the bikers exchanged smiles, their bond strengthening as they faced the challenging winds together. “It was an unforgettable experience,” Touthang recalls.
‘A bike isn’t just a purchase: It’s a passion’

Touthang has been riding since 2018. This passion has been a lifelong dream, one that has only intensified over the years. “I’ve dreamed of riding a Harley for as long as I can remember,” she shares, recounting how the sight of bikers cruising with their hair whipping in the wind always inspired her. Eventually, she decided to stop waiting and make a move. “My husband was apprehensive, but he recognized I wasn’t asking for his permission. So, I got my license and bought the bike,” she explains. “When people question my husband about allowing me to get the bike, he tells them it’s about passion, not just a purchase. I took my bike and haven’t looked back since.”
For her, every day is a realization of the dream she pursues. Touthang proudly shows her dedicated cupboard filled with biking memorabilia, from helmets to gloves and outfits. Finally, we admire her sleek black Harley Davidson parked outside her home. “You should give biking a try,” she encourages, grinning as she notices me nervously grazing the bike, as if it might spring to life. I hesitantly admitted that while I admired it and had thoughts of trying, I didn’t feel biking was for me. She laughed and confidently replied, “Look at me! I’m a 46-year-old housewife and I do it. If I can, anyone can!”

Much like Touthang, a diverse group comprising teachers, lawyers, doctors, and marketing professionals connect with this powerful sentiment and fervor for biking in the UAE. Their shared passion propels them forward—it’s about freedom, liberation, and an exhilarating challenge. This calling extends beyond biking; it’s about the community they discover along the journey. There are countless untold stories intertwined within these narratives.
Transforming from moms to biker moms
Shalini Sankar reflects, “It has taught me that if you truly desire something, you can make it a reality – even if it means being the only mom at the driving school or navigating the picturesque Sheikh Zayed Road with a pounding heart.” Image Credit: Supplied
Shalini Sankar, a professional based in Abu Dhabi, experienced love at first sight in 2017. While riding in a taxi and mulling dinner plans, she spotted a Harley Davidson at a traffic light, inspired by the motorcycle’s cinematic allure. She promised herself that one day, she would ride it. “But life was busy—a new job, two kids, navigating single motherhood. I had a lot on my plate.”
Fast forward to 2019, she began to question what was truly holding her back, realizing it was the opinions of others. “Friends and family had comments aplenty—wondering why I wanted a motorcycle instead of saving for my children. They thought it was a mid-life crisis.” But Sankar pressed on; she enrolled in classes and, after setbacks due to Covid-19, finally earned her license.
“As anyone on a mission would, I turned to Facebook to find friendly bikers willing to lend me a bike for practice,” she recounts. After borrowing a KTM 1000cc and riding daily, she was fortunate to find a 78-year-old biker selling his bike, which she purchased without hesitation. “The highway felt nothing like practice at school, sending my heart racing, but I conquered it. I felt invincible,” she adds, noting how she began seeking out other bikers to foster a community, which she successfully found. “As a bonus, my 11-year-old son now rides alongside me, creating the best bonding experience—just the two of us and the open road.”
Sankar reflects, “Maybe those who labeled it a mid-life crisis were onto something. But it has been the best ‘crisis’ of my life. It’s shown me that if you want something badly enough, you can absolutely make it happen—even if it means being the only mom at the driving school or taking the scenic route down Sheikh Zayed Road with your heart in your throat.”

In a parallel story, Katrina Evelyn, a Dubai-based entrepreneur and single mother, decided to embark on biking too. “Juggling work, home responsibilities, parent-teacher meetings, and shuttling kids to music and sports activities left me feeling like this was it—was there nothing more for me?” Inspired by this realization, she sought out two-wheeler courses. “People thought I was losing it—acting impulsively—but I had given it serious thought. I wanted to do something for myself, to take on a real challenge, and this was it.”
Evelyn considers it a personal victory. Facing self-doubt and fears can be daunting, especially as a mother, yet she was resolute about succeeding. “I achieved that! I did something just for me, and now it has turned into the best bonding time with my children as we join fellow bikers for road trips to Fujairah.”
With a bright smile, Evelyn states that biking has revitalized her sense of purpose, rescuing her from the monotony of daily life.
Seeking a challenge

Similarly, Gabrielle Bou Rached, a Lebanese expatriate and director of the Harley-Davidson Owners Group Abu Dhabi, found herself eager for a thrill. “When I hit 30 in 2015, I realized life couldn’t continue as it was. I had a loving family, a fulfilling job, but I asked myself, ‘What’s next?’”
She turned her thoughts to motorcycling, something that had long unsettled her. “In my past life as a paramedic, I often treated injured bikers, which built up a psychological wall preventing me from trying it myself. I had always known of bikers but never imagined being one myself.”
Yet, the allure became too strong to resist, and she ultimately decided to embrace it. Now, her passion drives her life, reflected in her home adorned with her motorcycle and lined with helmets. Her children exhibit the same enthusiasm; they eagerly cycle and desire to be bikers one day themselves, as she jests with her husband.
But it’s not solely the thrill of riding that keeps Bou Rached motivated—it’s also the close-knit circle of friends she has cultivated.
The sense of camaraderie on the road and beyond
Owning a motorcycle and riding it is easy; however, being part of a community adds a different dimension. “You become part of a family,” Rached explains. Touthang reciprocates this sentiment, expressing that some of her most cherished friendships were born from the women’s biking community. Long rides across remote highways strengthen these bonds, ensuring unwavering support. The connection extends beyond riding: the women gather for their children’s birthdays, cooking adventures, and potlucks. “Our shared love for biking brings us closer together,” Touthang remarks. “Initially, it was just my friend and me, the only two women riders. We would stay in touch before each ride, and now, we come together for Diwali, Christmas, and other celebrations. The community expanded and some become like family, guiding newcomers with practice rides.”
Sometimes, you find a friend in the most dire situations—someone who stands with you for a lifetime. Cora Harnell, an Abu Dhabi-based biker and PR professional, recalls her accident during a solo ride with no one around for help. “I was feeling hopeless, lying injured with a damaged bike, praying for assistance. When I saw a group of ten women on their morning ride, I felt immense relief—they immediately helped and rushed me to the hospital. Today, they’re my family; perhaps even closer than my biological family.”
Harnell reveals that she was unable to ride for months post-accident, plagued by overwhelming fear. “It was my biking community that supported me in overcoming that fear step by step. I would freeze every time cars approached me. Slowly, with their help and from therapy, I overcame that emotional paralysis. After a long two years, it’s thanks to them that I was able to return to long rides.”
The bikers affirm: cruising on highways transcends mere enjoyment; the essence lies in mutual support.

The bikers ensure they stand by one another through thick and thin. Describing their road dynamics, Rached emphasizes that safety is a top priority during rides. “We enforce strict rules, but it’s for everyone’s benefit. Our weekly rides include two social events and longer excursions on Saturdays.”
Touthang adds from her experience, “Our focus is on training: safe riding habits, proper gear, maintaining safe distances between riders, and riding in formation. Each ride is organized with someone monitoring traffic, and another halting close vehicles. We also have an activities team planning additional fun events,” she explains.
The motto that resonates through all these biking communities is: Leave no woman behind, states Harnell. “This belief binds us together. It’s a blend of sisterhood, passion, and freedom on two wheels shared among the women who ride them.”

WASHINGTON — U.S. Representative Derrick Van Orden, R-Prairie du Chien, is known for making an impression on Capitol Hill each day as he arrives for work.
Key Information
Members of Congress are returning to Washington via various modes of transport for the first time since the election.
A Wisconsin Republican is arriving at the Capitol differently: on his motorcycle.
Congressman Derrick Van Orden values his Harley Davidson, considering it a symbol of America.
The former Navy SEAL, whose district includes Eau Claire and La Crosse, just secured re-election.
The new Republican in Congress is thought to be the only one commuting by motorcycle. On his initial journey to take his seat two years ago, he rode his Harley from Wisconsin to Washington.
“This is a 2019 Harley Davidson Softail Slim, manufactured in Milwaukee. So this is indeed Milwaukee iron,” explained Van Orden.
While I dislike leaving my family and Wisconsin to head back to DC, it’s always wonderful to have a friend waiting for me here. Let’s Roll. pic.twitter.com/UbbiSnOLcO
— Derrick Van Orden (@derrickvanorden) July 7, 2024
Van Orden, who just secured his re-election from a predominantly rural district in southwestern Wisconsin, said his bike symbolizes America.
“It was built by hardworking tradesmen and women,” he elaborated. “And we need more of that here. We need individuals who are connected to their constituents.”
Having served as a Navy SEAL with multiple deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq, he treasures his experiences with his Harley.
“I enlisted in the Navy at 18, and I have held significant responsibilities throughout my life. As I began deploying frequently to combat and lost many friends in training and warfare — 21 of them, to suicide, of the SEALs — finding time to disconnect from everything became increasingly crucial as I grew older and took on more responsibilities. Riding gives me the chance to put those worries aside for a few moments.”
For Van Orden, riding his motorcycle is the essence of freedom. He joked that while he’s on the road, even his staff cannot reach him.

Currently, Van Orden takes pride in teaching his grandchildren how to ride. Although he once could simply pack his belongings in a bag and embark on solo adventures, he now jokingly says he would require 15 sidecars for his family, as “I’m not leaving them behind.”
However, Van Orden did express a desire for another motorcycle.
“I would like to personally appeal to you and your audience to contact Mrs. Van Orden and support the ‘Derrick Van Orden needs another motorcycle’ caucus. I would greatly appreciate that,” he said with a grin. “I would love to have a motorcycle with a sidecar to take my grandkids along for candy distribution at parades.”
Whether or not he gets a sidecar, he plans to keep commuting to Capitol Hill as he has for the past two years: donning boots and riding his beloved Harley Davidson made in Wisconsin.
These were the sentiments expressed by former Green Beret Adam Smith to his fiancée on September 28 regarding his 3-year-old daughter Tove and her mother. Their home in North Carolina was situated merely 40 yards from a torrent of water, swollen beyond its banks due to Hurricane Helene. No communication had been established with them since Thursday night, and it had now turned to Saturday.
Despite the grim outlook, Smith felt compelled to attempt a rescue, teaming up with a friend of a friend who owned a helicopter. He was on board for the mission.
“When we landed, the greatest joy of my life unfolded before my eyes,” recounted Smith, founder and CEO of a tactical training company called Savage Freedoms. “My daughter came running around barefoot, skipping and twirling in a grassy field, and it was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever witnessed.”
This rescue led Smith to an important realization: it wasn’t sufficient to save just Tove and her mother. There were numerous others in distress — and Smith had the expertise to assist. Thus, Savage Freedoms Relief Operations, known as Savage Ops, was established in the parking lot of a Harley Davidson shop in Swannanoa, dedicated to providing relief supplies, rebuilding infrastructure, ensuring vehicle access, offering logistical support, and instilling hope in hurricane-affected residents. By the tenth day of Savage Ops’ formation, around 120 individuals had joined him through word of mouth, most being former special operators.
“Green Berets, Navy SEALs, pararescue, and MARSOC personnel from national strategic assets took the initiative — we had everyone,” Smith stated, estimating that his team logged nearly 29,000 man-hours in the initial two weeks. “By day 10, we had almost a million pounds of supplies delivered.”
Justin Neal, a former Army Ranger, is now part of what locals named “the redneck air force.” He and about 40 other former Rangers ventured into western North Carolina after Hurricane Helene struck, eager to lend a hand. After receiving a call regarding the operation at the Harley Davidson, he felt compelled to learn more.
“Ask for a guy named Adam,” his source advised. And he did; within five minutes, Neal committed to the effort.
“We don’t seek glory; we’re here solely to assist,” said Neal, a soldier from 2012-2017. “I planned to stay for three days, but ended up staying for 10. I just couldn’t walk away.”
Neal, Smith, and their peers encountered devastation on a scale that was hard to comprehend. Smith described it as “the worst destruction I’ve ever encountered, even more severe than a war zone.” Many people who spotted Savage Ops’ shirts didn’t even introduce themselves — they simply burst into tears and embraced the team members out of gratitude.
“We work from dawn till dusk every day,” Smith shared, indicating his intent to remain in western North Carolina for the foreseeable future. “The operations are ongoing with road and yard cleanups, mucking out homes, construction projects, sourcing hay and feed for livestock, and fundraising to pay contractors to help them resume their work.”
Their work garnered attention from former President Donald Trump, who met with Smith on October 21 at an auto repair shop in Swannanoa. However, the true significance lies in the sense of purpose and unity Savage Ops has provided its members, including Neal.
“I hadn’t felt this level of purpose since my time in Afghanistan,” he expressed. “I find more meaning in Savage Freedoms than I have in my whole life, including my military service.”
Currently, Smith emphasized, their mission is to restore North Carolina to its former state. Achieving this will require determination, effort, and funding — but Savage Ops is ready for the challenge.
“We cannot allow western North Carolina to be overlooked,” Smith affirmed. “And we won’t.”

Harley-Davidson closures in 2024
There are over 650 Harley-Davidson dealerships across the United States.
However, several stores have closed for various reasons throughout 2024, often without explanation.
Here’s a list of some Harley-Davidson locations that have closed this year along with their reasons:
Reiman’s Harley-Davidson in Kewanee, Illinois, closed in October after the owners sold the business to Walter Brothers Harley Davidson in Peoria, Illinois.
