Harley Forward Controls: Why Consider Them and How to Choose

A quick glance at the current Harley bike lineup reveals a few interesting differences. Besides the general divide between larger tourers for mile-crunching highway comfort and stripped-down cruisers for shorter street bouts, the bikes also differ in basic foot controls, including clutch levers, brake pedals and matching foot pegs or floorboards. The distinction between mid and forward controls is in line with what Harleys are all about – tailoring the bike and the ride to personal preferences. Mid controls place the feet in line with the engine, providing improved control and handling, with increased maneuverability and stability at lower speeds.  With feet directly in line with hips and shoulders, mid-controls evenly distribute weight towards the centre of the bike, ensuring quicker reaction times to changing road conditions. This builds confidence and safety. And comes as a standard factory setup in most cruiser models, ranging from Softail and Sportster models like the standard FXST, Street Bob and Roadster, to larger and heavier Dyna Glides.  Why Mid-Controls Aren’t For Everyone  Switching to Harley forward controls, either as a factory option or aftermarket setup, brings key benefits, especially for taller riders. Pushing levers, pegs and pedals forward gives riders…



TAODS’ Little Red Riding Hood Celebrates 90 Years of Community Theatre with Sell-Out Shows and Charity Fundraising

Totnes Amateur Operatic & Dramatic Society (TAODS) has marked a major milestone in its history with a hugely successful run of its 2026 pantomime, Little Red Riding Hood, celebrating the society’s 90th year and playing to packed houses at the Civic Hall, with three of its five performances selling out. Founded in 1936 as the Totnes Amateur Operatic and Musical Society, TAODS began its journey with Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance at the Royal Seven Stars Hotel, before staging its first pantomime, Cinderella, at the Old Market Hall in 1953 — a venue whose legacy now lives on in the Civic Hall, where TAODS’ productions have been staged for many years. ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ was written and directed by Gina Tredwell, a member of the TAODS committee. It was a joyful, family-friendly production which brought together a multi-generational cast from across the local community, delivering a fresh, funny and heartfelt take on the much-loved fairy tale. This marks Tredwell’s second pantomime written for the society, alongside her involvement as a performer in previous TAODS productions. Across the five-show run, the pantomime welcomed over 1100 audience members and raised £300 for Totnes Caring, supporting vital…

  • When Love Becomes Advocacy
    by Gina Awad on June 11, 2026 at 11:27 pm

    As Carers Week prompts conversations about supporting unpaid carers, I’ve found myself reflecting on something that has touched both my professional and personal life recently: advocacy. And more specifically, what it feels like when advocacy is not a professional role, but something you find yourself doing because you care. Over this last week I’ve found myself in tears, but even that word doesn’t really capture it. It wasn’t just sadness. It wasn’t something that could be […]
