Revolutionary Motorcycles & Those Who Rode ThemThis has been an awesome book to read alongside learning to ride my new motorcycle circa 1945. This is a very detailed and thorough account of the early Harley-Davidson years. It is well researched and gets behind the why and how of Harley history.
Apart from my own personal interest in learning about the history of my motorcycle, it was very interesting to learn about the history of motorcycle clubs. They started out as product enthusiasts and in this era that is all they were. They were a useful tool for a dealership to keep their customers informed and hopefully using their services.
Later, these clubs turned more hard core and are what we know as Hell's Angles (and many other bike clubs) today.
Another interesting point was that women have always been a fan of riding Harley-Davidson bikes! That is encouraging as I learn my own bike. This was a great read and very detailed. Much of this history would have been lost without this important book.
