Willie G. Davidson likes to say that he was born with gasoline in
his veins and a crayon in each hand. A designer at heart, Davidson
combined his passions for art and motorcycles to extend a
multi-generational unbroken thread from Harley-Davidson Motorcycle
Company's birth in a wooden shed in the early twentieth century to
today. The grandson of one of the company's founders and the son of
one of its longtime presidents, Davidson created a series of iconic
designs that defined Harley-Davidson "factory custom" bikes and
cemented its standing as the premier motorcycle company in the
world. Davidson was instrumental in saving the company from
bankruptcy and then helping it explode into a global phenomenon.
For more than five decades, Davidson was more than a namesake of
the founders; he was the heart and soul of Harley-Davidson and a
personal connection to millions of riders around the world who knew
him simply as "Willie G." Throughout his life, Davidson has
embodied a close-to-the-customer relationship by attending
motorcycle rallies, rides, and races with his late wife, Nancy, the
"First Lady of Motorcycling," and son and daughter Bill and Karen
Davidson who recently joined their famous parents by being inducted
into the Sturgis Motorcycle Hall of Fame and play key roles in the
Motor Company today. In Ride Free, Davidson recounts design, his
memories of family, relationships, and events that defined his
extraordinary life and legacy of power, passion, and purpose.
Davidson gives readers a behind-the-scenes look at the planning,
design, and conception of legendary bikes that inspired millions of
riders over the past half-century; stories of his unforgettable
rides around the world; the people he encountered while navigating
thousands of miles on the roads; and the legacy that he and his
family have created which will carry on the most famous name in
motorcycles.
