This review is from: Harley-Davidson 100 Years: Celebration of a Legend (Purple Book) (Hardcover)
I purchased this book used to answer questions that my friends have about the Harley Davidson motorcycles. It is a great reference book up to the year 2002. The history is well represented and the illustrations are great!
