Product Description:
The name Harley-Davidson is recognized the world over as an icon of the American lifestyle and the American Dream. In 2002, the legendary motorcycle manufacturer celebrates the 100th anniversary with a travelling exhibition, an array of television programming and online events, and this publication. The author is the grandson of the founder and the man who has personally styled some of their most popular bikes. 'Willie G.' - a god among Harley fanatics and the spirtual and stylistic life blood of the the company - tells the inside story of the family business. The book contains over 500 illustrations including rare and unseen photographs from the Harley Davidson archives which feature races, rallies, famous faces and more. Willie G's narrative includes family reminiscences about the company's origins; insight into the making of Harley's classic models; personal views about custom bike styles and the freewheeling biker life; and behind-the-scenes accounts of the company's dark days and stunning revival.

I gave this book as a gift to my Boss. He said he liked it a lot. I looked through it, and thought the photos were great.

This is not only a book filled with beautiful pictures of Harleys but a history of the company and the development of it's product. VERY interesting and FUN to read. I would highly recommend this book.

I bought this for my dad for his birthday, the cover is leather bound and the pictures and stories within are in full color and very interesting! This gift is sure to be appreciated by any fan of the Harley legacy, be they simple enthusiasts or hardcore gear heads, they're sure to get something out of it.
My dad loved it, and he's really hard to buy for, recommend highly!
Rating: - He loved it!
This was a gift for my Harley riding son-in-law to be. He loved it and made points as mother-in-law of the year!
Rating:  - They can't make seats either.
Perhaps Harley is going to publish an after-market book to correct all of the flaws in this book. Probably in chrome. I originally bought the book hoping to do some resarch on historic color schemes for a new bike, and in that quest I found the book to be quite valuable. Beyond that I found it to be curious that the book was a square format and all of Harley's bike are a horizontal format, so that every beauty shot of the bikes is printed across a gutter. You never get to see a bike in full. It's maddening. That being said, the history of the company and the culture is wonderful and inspiring. The shots from the archives are very well done and the tone of voice is very engaging. I just wanted to see the bikes. It's just like Harley's seats, good looking but kind of uncomfortable.
