When most people close their eyes and imagine a motorcycle, that motorcycle looks very much like a Harley-Davidson. That?s because Harley builds the archetypal motorcycle, the mythic bike that exists beyond the input provided by our traditional senses. This is what the philosopher Kant calleda priori knowledge, knowledge we can?t learn but only intuit. That makes a Harley-Davidson thea priori motorcycle. The Harley-Davidson Motor Co. builds motorcycles that look the way the primordial biker inside each of us feels a motorcycle should be built. This is whyHarley-Davidson defines the very word motorcycle for so many people. InThe Harley-Davidson Source Book, acclaimed Harley-Davidson historian Mitchel Bergeroncovers every motorcycle the company has built, from the very first prototype to the Silent Gray Fellow to the latest CVO Electra Glides and Softails. They?re all here-the Knucklehead, the Panhead, the Pea Shooter, the KR, the Sportster, the XR750, the Shovelhead, the Evolution, the Twin Cam, the V-Rod, and all the rest.
