Wow ! That is the first thing that comes to mind when going through this book. Although I have quite some books about HD I'm very impressed by this huge book.
Written by the best authors around, with stunning photographs that you haven't seen in other books and printed on thick high quality paper this book is great value for money.

The book describes all the different parts of HD history by going through all the models that have been produced the last 100 years. Not so much the technical descriptions are to be found but more the stories behind the models. The TC-88 story as an example is like a fairy tale if you're a HD-lover. How did they come up with the idea, what did they do and what problems they encountered, how they solved it and why certain things are the way they are is all in this story.

If youre looking for a book that describes all the different colours, serialnumbers and options for each modelyear than this is NOT your book, but if you like the story of HD, beautifull pictures of almost every model and good stories and tales by the best writers that don't hesitate and order this heavy book.

I would still buy it if it was twice the price! It's absolutely fantastic!

I compared this book to the other Harley books out there, and this is the one to buy. The story here is not the "canned" story put out by the factory, but the true story as told by real Harley aficionados. And, this book has writing from Hunter S. Thompson, you can't get him in the "factory" book! The photos are great and the writing is interesting and concise. By the way, this is a BIG book, so clear space on the coffee table. If you are a Harley fan, you are going to love this book.

This book is worth every penny just for the photography alone. The fascinating and informative text is like a bonus. This is the real Harley story, not the corporate propoganda garbage the Motor Company puts out. The Hunter Thompson essay is hilarious. Buy it.

This is the ultimate Harley book. It includes tons of photos that I have never seen before and there are 10 or 20 authors who contributed, each in an area of expertise. Very cool concept! If I had a coffee table, this would be the centerpiece. It is a huge book in both pounds and inches, so beware.

This is the real Harley Davidson story, the good and bad. It is not typical Motor Company hype. If you want the real poop on the MOCO, this is your book.

I gave this to my son-in-law as a gift and he loved it ! I previewed it before giving it and thought that it had great pictures, was well written, covered the history and models thoroughly, and would interest anyone who has an interest in knowing about Harley-Davidson motorcycles and the company's history. My son-in-law is not an avid reader and it was still a hit !

This was a gift for my brother who has a Harley but doesn't really enjoy reading very much. When he opened it, he said " I will read all the words out of this". I knew it was perfect at that moment.

I looked all over for a book that tell the Harley story and include some great pics of some great bikes. This book is it. It is very well written and manages to put the information in a great story line. No it doesn't have every detail about every Harley, but I challenge you to find a better, easy to read, more inclusive book.

This book offers the most in-depth detailed information I have read about HD in a long time. Factual research with great pictures makes this book a winner. If you are a fan of Harley-Davidson or any motorcycle for that matter, I highly reccomend this book!

Unsurpased collection of Harley History. Don't miss "THE SECOND COMING OF AGE" by: Vedrine, the greatest Harley Davidson novel ever writen.
