The History of the Harley-Davidson Motorcycle is an understated title for an exciting hour-long ride through nearly 100 years of gas-guzzling adventure. The Harley has secured itself a proud position among American icons and has a fanatically loyal following of riders who, together with the company itself, make up a cross-country extended family that meets for annual reunions in Sturgis, South Dakota. This video documents the beginnings of the motorcycle through archival photographs and footage, and moves on through different designs, including the World War II cycles that helped liberate Europe and the postwar machines made popular by returning vets. Tour the official Harley museum and talk with enthusiasts from all walks of life, including Willie G. Davidson, grandson of one of the company's founders, to learn about the pride and care with which owners treat their bikes. Everything you'd ever want to know about these American road hogs is found in
The History of the Harley-Davidson Motorcycle.
