Harley-Davidson combines three Enthusiast Color Series titles: Classic Harley-Davidson (1903-1941) by Herbert Wagner and Mark Mitchell, Harley-Davidson Customs by Tim Remus, and Harley-Davidson Motorcycles by Allan Girdler and Jeff Hackett in one value-priced book. Glide through the exciting and colorful look at Harley-Davidson's early motorcycles and history, from the company's inception in 1903 through the suspension of civilian manufacturing just prior to America's entry into World War II in Harley-Davidson Classics. Harley-Davidson Customs depicts rolling works of art that are fire-breathing customs with high-performance engines professionally photographed at the Daytona and Sturgis rallies. Harley-Davidson Motorcycles is a colorful volume that not only tells the history of Harley-Davidson motorcycles, but also features the legendary motorcycles that made the company an American legend.

His book is a sympathetic and expert guide for all Harley-Davidson owners and enthusiasts and for everyone who enjoys motorcycling history.
The author describes how the Harley-Davidson company survived and prospered despite the Depression, two world wars, technical challenges and changes and fundamental shifts in the motorcycle market. He recalls the conception of the robust V-twin engine which has been at the heart of Harley-Davidson motorcycles for almost a century. The company has always favoured consistent improvement over radical redesign, and the much-refined V-twin still powers the Harley-Davidsons of the present day.
The book illustrates the wide variety of types of Harley-Davidson that have been produced - military and sidecar versions, machines for police patrol work and escort duty and for racing, including on American dirt tracks, where Harley has dominated for decades - and the first customized Harleys of the mid-1960s. But the author concentrates on telling the story of the long line of strong, simple, powerful street bikes that are the mainstay of Harley-Davidson's reputation.

Tags: history, Davidson, United States, way of life, HarleyAlthough the Harley-Davidson 45--better known as the Flathead--was designed as an entry-level big twin, its sturdy and dependable construction and unlikely racing pedigree made it one of the most prolific production powerplants in the history of motorcycles. Built and sold from 1929 to 1973, the Flathead turned up in a wide range of Harley-Davidsons, from World War II military models to the utilitarian Servi-Car. The engine also became the power unit of choice among flat-track racers from 1934 to 1969. This Color History chronicles the entire development and production history of the Flathead, examining its application in street, racing, and military motorcycles. In addition to a selection of archival black-and-white photography, the author features nearly 100 modern color shots of restored Harley-Davidsons powered by the Flathead.
