Opis i karakteristike
When anyone thinks of motorcycling, whether they are enthusiasts or only casually interested, the name HarleyDavidson immediately comes to mind. Harley Davidson is among the oldest surviving motorcycle manufacturers; the company began in 1903 and continues to this day. As you can imagine, over the course of more than 100 years, the company has seen prosperous times as well as lean times, changes in focus and direction, evolution and revolution. All of that leads to a lot of company history and trivia.
American Iron magazine editor Tyler Greenblatt has compiled 1,001 HarleyDavidson facts into this single volume, with subjects ranging from the historic powertrains to pop culture to HarleyDavidson as a company and manufacturer. Facts begin with the early years, when a motorcycle was not much more than a bicycle with an engine attached, to the war efforts of World War I, when 15,000 were put into service. During the 1920s, HarleyDavidson grew into the largest manufacturer in the world, and that momentum helped carry it through the Great Depression and into World War II. Postwar development and AMF ownership are also covered in detail, as well as the restructuring and revival of the brand in recent years.
Whether you're a casual rider, racer, or restorer, HarleyDavidson enthusiasts will be sure to find something in this book for that next conversation with fellow hobbyists. This book will keep HarleyDavidson enthusiasts entertained for hours, and is a great edition to any motorcycling library.
