Great job Bill. We now need you to return to product development. Maybe more now than ever before.
Great story love my Harley love the brand thank you Bill Davidson for sharing
What a great video! Thank eyou so much for that. Bill, you are a great person and a true motorcyclist and enthusiast. It's easy to identify with you. I started riding in early 1974 at age 15. Never stopped and still blessed to be riding. I have had so many bikes and still have a few. A BMW, a Triumph, a Honda (vintage) and a Suzuki (Vintage) but...... my Harley Davidson Switchback 103ci is special, very special ! That is the motorcycle that we tour on, that we shine on that we are proud to own. The HD has something that no other bike has. It has presence. A 117 year uninterrupted history. Like you said" a brotherhood and sisterhood that is unsurpassed. Taking the HD for a ride makes me look at motorcycling from a totally different perspective. Time, stress, distance and all the negative things disappears with the low revving, torque filled drone on the open road. As they say.... "You need to own one to understand why we ride Harley Davidsons. (How I wish I had the money to visit the museum. That would be something else....Disneyland for HD fanatix !

Just bought my first Harley couple weeks ago, I am in love with my bike and this video sums up why I bought a Harley
Hell yeah, congrats on the new ride and welcome to the family! 🤘
Amen
LOVE this! Bill is such a good guy. I feel very honored to have met him.
Bought my first cruiser and first Harley Davidson (Sport Glide) a month ago after looking at so many other brands. The entire experience was incredible- demo rides, buying at the dealership, the global Harley community, the service department, the huge list of potential accessories- and of course the motorcycle. The feeling you get riding a Harley is indescribable. I love this video by Bill Davidson. Their commercials (e.g., “Breathe”) embodies why we Harley owners are so loyal. ❤️ Harley Davidson!
This was a great video and story. I love to hear all the history and the people that lived it .To see Bill riding around on that 50. The smile on his face the thrill of riding that’s what it’s all about. Thanks Everyone ride safe
Harley Davidson rides forever 😎
Really interesting history lesson! I really hope H-D can turn their down trend. I really think H-D missed a great opportunity when they didn’t follow through with the Find Your Freedom Interns! They had a phenomenal group of young riders who could’ve really helped H-D reach out to other young writers and introduce the brand to them to the brand. Hopefully somebody in H-D management will take a second look at those interns!
Harley riding academy got me back into motorcycling. Then shopping around looking at all manufacture's models, I ended up with Harley's. I could walk into any Harley dealership and test ride anything but you can't do that with the other manufactures. I'm not going to spend thousands of dollars on something I have never ridden. Keep promoting the learning academy because I know there are many folks out there who would like to ride but don't know how and if they don't know how, they are not going to buy a motorcycle. Don't out price your products to keep them out of reach.
I love harleys always have always will I have two harleys at the moment but I am still waiting for one to be delivered due to the Corona lockdown can't wait I just hope I get the chance to ride it because these are Tuff days regards Alan from the UK. Ps you gotta love harleys
Keep it up and running
Never let Go
God bless
Your beyond are life's

By the way need to bring back an updated vrod. I would definitely purchase one.
Your a reason to live
I have been riding since 68
Please bring back the V-ROD. I put 60,000 miles on my 2009 Night Rod Special. Loved it but traded it for 2019 RGS due to recurring charging/voltage reg issues. Still, miles of smiles and would do it again.
they did, but now they call it the "revolution Max".
YOWZAH HARLEY DAVIDSON RIDE OR DIE ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
I believe you
I had a fxr with a shovel engine
Me too
The problem with Harley Davidson is that its become very difficult in many instances to deal with dealers and sometimes Harley Davidson as well. When you get as big as Harley-Davidson does, the customer for as much as they claim they matter, which they do to a certain extent because without the customer they have no incoming money, the problem is since there was a lot of customers they could take advantage of customers financially and get away with it all because the Harley-Davidson brand-name
Now the company is suffering because of the entire nonsense of what's going on now with this virus stuff so I'm sure they would love to maintain and further that we love the customer image. Anyone who shops at a dealer knows how screwed up these dealers can be towards people. I had that experience just recently at a dealer.
Harley-Davidson needs to go back to the basics when dealing with their customers because unfortunately when you have a corporate giant of this type you just ain't going to get the service that you really deserve. And that is my honest opinion
Couldn't have put it better Chris. Spot on 👍
117 years ago, in 1903, here in the USA, in the state of Wisconsin, in the city of Milwaukee, these very talented and cool guys: William Sylvester Harley, Arthur Davidson, Walter Davidson and William Davidson, who were very passionate about bikes, founded this wonderful and legendary Harley-Davidson Motor Company and began to produce very cool bikes Harley-Davidson, which we love very much. Now their family business continues to develop already their descendants Willie G. Davidson and his son Bill Davidson, as well as other equally worthy employees of the legendary Harley-Davidson Motor Company and this great, because thanks to such a wonderful team, working Harley-Davidson Motor Company and in dealer showrooms Harley-Davidson, today later 117 years this is this American, legendary and wonderful Harley-Davidson Motor Company, her cool bikes and museum Harley-Davidson continues to live and develop. And the entire world of biker subculture, road trips and traveling on motorcycles, an integral part of which is Harley-Davidson Motor Company and bikes Harley-Davidson today also continues to live and develop, including thanks to this wonderful Harley-Davidson Motor Company and her wonderful employees, and this great! For all this i sincerely love and thank this wonderful Harley-Davidson Motor Company and her wonderful employees. Thanks so much guys you are the best.
MIllion $ Bogan?
The good old days when we were kids learning to ride. Nowadays someone at the park would call the cops on us for child endangerment. The electric bicycle is the next big market 3-4K$ per unit, no registration no insurance no gas bill. Yes bicycles, huge market there now. HD should develop a touring E bicycle that has quality and usability. Get soccer moms on them and replace the mini van, room for the kid and groceries, get one in every house in America & Europe. That’s the future, now the world is broke.
What a stunning lack of diversity! Good job.
That is not what HD is. Leave that to the Japanese. Their models dont even last for a year before the "fashion" statement changes. Leaving older models worthless.
Diversity is for snow flake, soy boy communist sympathisers! You'll be ok cup cake.
