The book describes the evolution of Harley Davidson motorcycles
from the perspective of seminal first year model motorcycles. The
book takes nineteen first year models from 1911 to 1965 and
describes in detail why these models shaped the future of Harley
Davidson and the legion of imitators. The similarities, recurrent
themes, innovations and notable model failures are used to
illustrate how these motorcycles helped create an American icon.
The text includes vital model statistics and detail descriptions of
the innovations introduced by these first year models. By using
contemporary photos of memorabilia, the book helps the reader
better appreciate the mind set of a rider in that era. The book
contains detailed photographs of the models described in
traditional left and right stance as well as numerous detailed
photographs of model innovations referenced in the text. It has
AMCA judging scores, to our knowledge, not seen in any other
motorcycle title and a description of point deductions and
subsequent corrections to help the would-be restorer. There are
over 180 photos of motorcycles, their parts and memorabilia. The
book has a soft vinyl coated cover and measures 8 x 10 inches with
132 pages. The photos and text are on non-glossy paper.
