Harley Davidson

in #cars7 years ago (edited)

Harley Davidson is the company that manufactures the legendary American bikes. Did you know Harley Davidson was founded in the USA in 1903? It was well over 100 years ago. It all began in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, when two young men, William S. Harley, and Arthur Davidson, worked on a small engine which then they adapted to a bicycle frame, creating thus their very first bike. These were the beginnings of these great bikes. Here some pics. Enjoy!

Cool post, man! :)

The Harley Davidson FXB Sturgis was, perhaps, one of the most similar bikes to those seen in the movie Easy Rider. The actual bikes from the movie were never really produced for sale to the general public. The ones that were used in the movie were ultimately destroyed, though at least one was refurbished in 1996 then sold at an auction for quite a sum.

I think the Easy Rider "choppers" (as the bikes were called) were all stolen and / or destroyed after the movie filming. I don't know of any such bikes (or similar) being sold to the public. If anyone has one, its probably the result of heavy modifications / tuning of something else. As I think these choppers were.

Perfect port. I'm owner of a 1994 modified Harley Dyna, and Harley Davidson is in fact a way of living.
