Harley Davidson motorcycles are probably the most popular motorbikes on the planet. It is a brand name that has been around for over one hundred years, and the name itself has inspired an entire subculture for bikers everywhere. The Harley Davidson Motor Company is an American company that manufactures world-class bikes.
The very first Harley Davidson motorcycles were made by William S. Harley and Arthur Davidson back around 1901. After failing to make a powerful bike on their first few attempts, the young men learned from their mistakes and constructed new models with bigger engines and new frames. They soon had some moderate success and were able to build their first factory in 1906. Around 50 motorcycles were produced that first year. More and more improvements in the design of these early Harleys led to increased demand for the bikes. When World War I came around, the Harley Davidson Company ended up providing more than 20,000 to the armed forces for combat service.
Amazingly, by the year 1920 Harley Davidson was the biggest manufacturer of motorbikes in the entire world. When the Great Depression happened, the company struggled to survive. Sales were down, but they began to book when World War II started. Mass shipments were again made to the armed forces. Later on, Harley Davidson bikes would earn a new reputation as motorcycles used by outlaw biker gangs. Many popular films in the 1950s through the 1970s brought the life of biker gangs to the big screen,. It was during this time that the nickname “Hog” was adopted.
New ownership in the 1980s led to a number of changes. The globalization of the motorcycle business really began to take hold, but Harley Davidson bikes retained their status as quality machines. The fame of these legendary bikes exists today, just as it did so many years ago. These iconic cruising machines as easily recognized on the road. The unique chopper style and powerful engines have garnered the international recognition they deserve. Many biker clubs and fan groups dedicated to this brand exist. If you are looking for a stylish motorcycle with grit and toughness, there is no bike like the Harley Davidson. Just ask anyone who owns one and they will tell you what it feels like to own a piece of history.

There is a big Harley salvage dealer on the net. The name escapes me. Do a search,(like harley davidson salvage) when you hit the right one you’ll know it. They have a huge selection. They also take digital pictures so you can see exactly what your buying. Just curious if you have a late model HD with a bad frame (accident damage etc.) check in with an HD dealer. I believe they have a program where you can get a new frame directly from the MOCO with your old vin#. It may cost a bit more but you’ll be assured that it’s straight!
