Author Description

The Great Book of Harley Davidson chronicles the evolution of the world's most famous motorcycle manufacturer. The history takes us from 1903, when the first Harley emerged from a wooden shed in the backyard of the Davison family, to the 1920s by which time Harleys were available in 67 countries worldwide, to the emergence of the chopper and finally the streamlined "hogs" of today. The text and photographs demonstrate the production process and innovative technology that have made Harley the most famous manufacturer in the world. The second part of the book spotlights the most cutting-edge HD customizers, including Arlen Ness, Cyril Huze, and their disciples, who turn a mechanical wonder into a work of art.
