What makes a Harley-Davidson special? "If you have to ask...", as the saying goes,"...you wouldn't understand". What rolls out of the company's Milwaukee plant year after year is as much myth as motorcycle - the stuff of legends, lifestyles and dreams. This book takes a revered marque to new heights with over 400 colour photographs depicting the history of the company from its humble origins to its ascendancy as the premier motorcycle manufacturer in the world. Discover the cult of Harley-Davidson: the customized bike scene, the monster rally gatherings, the biker gangs and its Hollywood cool. Although Harleys are not synonymous with competition, the volume includes a section on racing to capture the spirit of a legendary motorbike manufacturer.
