A Motorcycle No One Can Afford

Deep into the Great Depression, Harley and the Davidsons make a bold move and test a new prototype with an even more impressive engine.

Watch the entire mini-series now!

This is the story of young men - best friends and brothers - coming of age and dealing with rivalries, expectations of parents, business competitors and life and death on the race track. In Milwaukee at the turn of the 20th century, the Davidson brothers and their friend Bill Harley launch a motorcycle company that will eventually become an iconic brand and an enduring symbol of Americana. HARLEY AND THE DAVIDSONS reveals that great opportunities can be forged not only through ingenuity and innovative design, but also from brotherhood and friendship, guts, and an ironclad will to survive.

Harley: leaks oil
US : You need freedom.

Remember 90% of Harley Davidsons ever made are still on the road.
The other 10% actually got home.

I'm an old man now. I've rode about all of them, owned many of them, and there's still nothing else like a Harley.

What a veteran Harley rider once told me before taking off on his '48 panhead: if it don't leak, it's not original

[superkamiguru]

If a Harley doesn't leak oil, it means the oil tank is empty.

Harleys don't leak oil. They mark their territory.

Fun fact: the Iraq war was started so Americans could finally refill the oil tanks on all the Harleys

funny thing is no one can afford them today either

He comes in blipping the throttle, apparently running down through the gears, without using the hand shifter. Amazing.

If you like working on motorcycles, buy a Harley. If you like riding motorcycles, buy a Honda.

Loved this mini series. Appriciate my Harley even more now.

[MasterChief-slro]

Typical Harley. They have one hand on the throttle and the other hand full of tools... It's why they never wave.

Nothing looks better than a Harley! But pretty much every other bike rides better than one

Am surprised at many of the comments here, criticising Harley-Davidson. I ride a HD in India, 3 years and 5 months, 33, 000 km and not a hint of a weakness anywhere, not at any speed. In my country, middle-class morality reigns supreme, so everybody who cannot afford a HD criticises it, even people I know behind my back. I guess that trait reigns supreme among narrow-minded small-hearted people throughout the world.

To everyone baggin on harleys, that knucklehead in this video is probably worth more than all of your bikes put together.

On my 3rd. Harley since 1965. Never been let down by one and have as much fun now as then and I'm 71. I also own several other bikes Japanese, British, Italian a 1957 Cushman Eagle and my grandpa's old 1946 Indian . I like them all and never diss another mans ride. That's plain childish. Ride careful biker brothers.

Harley Davison is that the people who make the T-shirts
