Book Description

August 1995
It's a rumble that resonates in a rider's soul, deep and steady, something you feel as much as hear. Its 45-degree, V-twin note is unmistakable; no other bike makes "that" sound. On a deserted back road or on a crowded city street, its insistent roar demands attention and commands respect.

It's the unmistakable sound of American motorcycling; it's the sound of Harley-Davidson.

"Harley-Davidson: Myth and Mystique" celebrates the motorcycles, events, and people that define The Motor Company. The founding fathers, the unbeatable "Wrecking Crew" race team, wartime machines, the Hollister incident, Peter Fonda's "Easy Rider," flat track domination, AMF ownership, the custom craze, and more tell the story of how Harley-Davidson came to be an American icon.

5.0 out of 5 stars A well written and informative history of H-D., December 23, 1997
This review is from: Harley-Davidson: Myth & Mystique (Hardcover)
This, in my opinion, is one of the better books on H-D. There is enough material to satisfy your historical palate, but not so much that you feel bogged down with to many details. If incredible historical detail is what your after, get Harry Sucher's book "H-D, the Milwaukee Marvel." Leffingwell's book is easy and enjoyable reading, with lots of good color photos to go along. I would have liked a little more information on the founders of H-D; more detail on how they shaped the company policies and what had become of them. Also, it would have been nice to have gotten more on the changes in the evolution engine. But over-all, a very enjoyable book. (incidently, the title is "H-D, 'History' and Mystique," not "Myth" and Mystique.
