Hardley Davidaughters SUCK!

If HD really was PRO USA, they would build quality machines that perform like well oiled machines rather than use out-dated technology, and poor quality standards (not to mention price gouge their cult members). You PRO USA idiots should know that over 60% of your parts are made outside of our borders! Ride like you stole it bitch!!!!!!!!!!!! peace out girl scouts!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for all your bad experiences with all the Harleys that you've owned. And, I am quite aware of the fact that Harley has out-sourced many of their parts. My oppinion of what you ride, is...if you don't like what you're riding, buy something else. I've owned both foreign and domestic bikes and I've enjoyed all of them. I guess, because I just enjoy the freedom of the RIDE itself. That's really what it's all about. God bless America and the Freedom that we stand for! "Boyscout"

This is the kind of bike rider I looked up to when I was a kid and wanted to ride that HD just like them on their way to the races in Peoria. I lived on Rte 116 in the country and the would be riding back west to their home with all of their lights (sometimes dozens of them) on. I could hear them coming when sitting in the backyard on an August evening and run to the front and watch them go by. Thanks for the memories

Most of these photos were taken in So.Ill. My grandpas Harley shop are in many of them. My dad has told me stories of their trips to the Springfield races..."good times".

Remember where you live, this is not Asia or Europe. And remember that when these were being made Japan could not even come close to making the so-called American quality that you disparage. This video needs to be enjoyed for what it is. A fond look at the past and that is all it is.

@tmadd1956 i,ll trade you any jap bike u want for the 74 flh

[tmadd1956]

i've owned 5 harleys, all of them old. the one i am riding now is an antique 1200 flh (1974). (on utube 1974 flh) i have also owned a kawasaki 900, which i liked but it was over with after two years, and two bsa's which i fried within a year of each other. so a big part of manufacturing in america is having parts made wherever to your specs and putting it all together at the end. ( in this case, in milwaukee.) big deal. it's still american designed. so much for throwaway foreign manufacturing.

Just curious does anyone know the story behind the hats they wore in those days..?

[bigcitybrian]

I like this video! Is there a common thread to all these pics? They seem to keep showing up in front of the same old garage. Was that a backyard motorcycle shop or clubhouse? Cool video thanks for sharing this.
