THERE is a magnet-
ism generated by the
motorcycle that reach-
es beneath the skin to
a more instinctual
response. The roar of
a big bike's exhaust
has a siren-like effect,
calling to those whe
hear its sound.

It holds aut the offer or
independence, of risk, of
excitement: it makes a state-
ment. And no other motor-
cycle makes a statement
quite dike a Harley-
Davidson.

In) Outlaw = Machine,
Brock Yates has examined
the unique place Harley-
Davidson has etched into
our collective psyche, tracing
the company’s origins to the
first model built in 1903,
then describing its growth
and the many struggles the
company has had to reach
it’s present status.

He Jooks at various
trends that shaped our per-
ceptions of the bikes them-
selves and the people who
rode them.

The beginnings of
motorcycle gangsandinpar- og at
ticular, the Hells Angels, are es ge i &
put into context with the aR Fr Sth
overall development of the
Harley.

The Harley-Davidson is
an American icon, recog-
sized world wide. There are
many motorcycles that will
out-perform, — out-handle,
outlast the Harley bur none
with its reputation.

“The Harley, the true
symbol of humian frailty and
audacity, was to be hen-
oured and revered, not for
irs urtilitv or its sheer excel-
lence, bur for its god-awtul,
all-American, in-your-face,
hog-stomping, bali-busting,
real-iife representation of
man’s own impertections.”
