Synopsis
The Harley-Davidson Motor Company has been building motorcycles since 1903. In that period the Milwaukee firm has produced more than 140 models, and in the process it has established itself as one of the great symbols of modern American culture. The name, the culture, the look...all are unmistakable. Harley can justly claim to have elevated the motorcycle to almost mythic status, and to have created one of the great popular icons of our age. Here, for the first time in one volume, is the complete hardware history of these legendary American machines. Assembled in these pages are fine examples of every major model of motorcycle that the Harley-Davidson Motor Company has ever made. The majority of the motorcycles illustrated have been photographed specifically for this book, and feature machines that are in a superb state of restoration.
