Summary

When Bill Harley and Arthur Davidson began tinkering with the idea of engine-assisted cycling in 1901, they probably had no idea where it would lead. Harley-Davidson is the one motorcycle manufacturer that has managed to outlast all the others while becoming not only a legend, but a lifestyle in the process. Ride with motorcycle expert and enthusiast Bob Tyson as he takes a look at vintage Harley-Davidson motorcycles and recounts the heady days of early cycling, when the world was just getting to know this amazing machine. With a foreword by Jay Leno, Harley-Davidson Memories hits the historical highway with anecdotes, photographs, and H-D advertisements from the early twentieth century. Book jacket.
