Overview

Take a unique photographic road trip through Harley-Davidson history with Harley-Davidson: Timechart of an American Legend, which expands out to an impressive six feet in length. This fold-out timechart--part art, part book--takes you back to how it all got started, with two brothers and their friend trying to make a motor-powered bike in a little shed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The visual journey through the years that followed is full of fascinating twists and turns as Harley goes on to play an integral role in law enforcement and counterculture, dominate the world of racing, advance the war effort of WWII, and become an American icon unlike any other. Veteran motorcycle writer Margie Siegal takes you through not just the company's history, but also the evolution of the bikes themselves, along with their impressive role in racing, culture, and the world at large. Chock full of photographs that show off a huge range of models--from the early Sports to the long-enduring Sportsters, the big touring Road Kings to the racing king KRs, the iconic Softails to the powerful VRSCs--this unique piece of unofficial memorabilia lets the history of Harley unfold like never before.
