5.0 out of 5 stars
A basic history of Harleys with large and beautiful photos.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Harley Davidson: A Model-by-Model History of the American Motorcycle (Hardcover)
I very much liked this book. It doesn't go deeply into Harley history, it goes just deep enough so that one feels some sense of how American motorcycles, especially H-D and Indian, evolved. For me what's best about this book are the large beautiful photos of the old Harleys, chronologically organized, in original unmodified condition. The old bikes from the mid 30's to mid 50's are truely gorgeous. I can spend hours admiring and comparing photos. This book gives me the urge to own one of these old Harleys.

This review is from: The Complete Harley Davidson: A Model-by-Model History of the American Motorcycle (Hardcover)
While thumbing through some online pics I came across a excerpt from this book and was amazed at the clear photographs and thorough research it contained. I immediately ordered a used copy from the best book source online ;) and was not disappointed at all. This is a great resource for Harley Davidson history and I learned many small pieces and facts not included in other references. A great book if just for the beautiful clear photos alone, I'm researching a 1930's single and this book has filled in a few unanswered questions. Five Stars !!!
