Who knew, one hundred years ago, that the freedom-loving, speed-hungry, cutting-edge motorcycle fanatics who founded Harley-Davidson were making history along with bikes? The Harley-Davidson Collection, showcasing a century of bikes that shaped motorcycle history, brings that history to gleaming life in page after page of motorcycles beyond compare. On the eve of the opening of the historic Harley-Davidson Museum, this book gives motorcycle enthusiasts an opportunity to pore over the bikes in the collection, and to linger over every detail that made Harley-Davidson such an icon of American open-road power and performance. With exquisite, detailed photographs and histories of the hundred motorcycles in Harley's collection, from serial number one built in 1903 to the latest low-slung Softail, high-revving VRSC, and touring models, the book captures the excitement of the best-known motorcycles in the world. All that's missing is the patented roar, which readers are invited to supply.

awesome book:
I gave this book to my husband for Christmas. He loves it. The pictures are great and goes threw the history of Harley Davidson and its bikes. Highly recommend getting this if your a Harley fan. Amazon's price was the lowest of all the places I looked.
Very good price, very fast shipping, and much more than I thought I was buying:
I bought this book for a family member for Christmas and I was somewhat worried if it would be "enough" by comparison to some other books I looked at. I received it quickly, paid $37.00 for it when it retails for $60.00, and the book is HUGE!! It's loaded with great photography, details, and there is no wasted space. I'm not a Harley Davidson fan and I found myself flipping through it for an hour in amazement of how in depth it is. I'm certain that he'll enjoy the book and it's a great conversation piece... more info
