The Harley-Davidson Motor Company : A 100-Year History

This is the mother of all Harley-Davidson histories, updated with photos and complete information on the amazing new V Rod. When "Harley-Davidson Motor Company" debuted in 1982, insiders wondered: How could a factory-authorized history contain so much inside information? There was straight talk about which models ran well and which models did not, who the Harley-Davidson heroes really were, and how America's only remaining motorcycle was ridden to the abyss of utter failure! This newest history is the 4th edition and is an even better book, in part because Harley-Davidson, Inc. now considers the book too candid for its blindly loyal fans. Included are many historic William Davidson photos that have since mysteriously disappeared, plus photos of the very latest models, facts on racing, technology, accessories, cops, outlaws, celebrities, and more! Every H-D fan, from first-time rider to grizzled veteran, will want this fascinating, all-too-true story that is offered proudly without Harley-Davidson approval or endorsement.
