Book Description

January 2003
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, August 2, 2003

This review is from: The Harley-Davidson Motor Company: A 100-Year History (Hardcover)
I have read well over 15 books in the last year on the history of Harley Davidson. This book in particular broke the mold in comparision to the others because the author went over and above the call of duty in his research. Rather than simply recite the corporate timeline and Harley's non-asscociation with outlaw biker gangs, Wright chose to speculate on some very real issues facing the Motor Company today. Problems like an aging customer base, continued invasion from foreign manufacturers and a strong emphasis on where the company must set it's sights in order to overcome these issues.
Besides that he actually speaks in detail about everyone's greatest fear-the retirement of Willie G. The rest as they say is history. Definately a great read. If you're like me and have read a great deal of books of this nature, then you will truly appreciate this book. Throughout my time spent, I probably only didn't read a total of 10 pages of the entire book. Enjoy!
