Harley Early

Is it too early? I have a friend that will be 50 in Jan. We are avid Harley riders. I want to have a Harley themed birthday party for him, suprise one of course. He lived in Memphis for 20 years so all of his Harley "buddies" are still there, he is now here in Indiana. He also has a daughter in Florida and step kids in another state. I want to bring everyone here for his 50th. That would blow him away to see all of his friends here. He only gets to see them once or twice a year. Is it too early to call his daughter and tell her about it? Is it too early to start planning? It is 7 months away. I figured with the holidays people will need some time to save up for the trip. No it's not too early. This is such a coincidence because my husband's going to be 50 in Sept. & all of his buddies are Harley riders. I started planning his surprise party back in Feb., because you have to look up the people that don't live in the same Town or City as you, you have to find out who can make it, it's a lot of work & planning. Your friend's lucky to have a friend like you. I wish my husband had friends like that so then I wouldn't have to be putting this darn thing together. It's a lot of work, especially when he'll ask me what I'm doing if I'm working on his Birthday surprise. I even have to hide the phone bill so he won't question the people I've called. Hope you guys will have a blast, cause I know we will!!

Harley Davidson - The History Of Harley Davidson Motorcycles

Harley Davidson motorcycles are probably the most popular motorbikes on the planet. It is a brand name that has been around for over one hundred years, and the name itself has inspired an entire subculture for bikers everywhere. The Harley Davidson Motor Company is an American company that manufactures world-class bikes.

The very first Harley Davidson motorcycles were made by William S. Harley and Arthur Davidson back around 1901. After failing to make a powerful bike on their first few attempts, the young men learned from their mistakes and constructed new models with bigger engines and new frames. They soon had some moderate success and were able to build their first factory in 1906. Around 50 motorcycles were produced that first year. More and more improvements in the design of these early Harleys led to increased demand for the bikes. When World War I came around, the Harley Davidson Company ended up providing more than 20,000 to the armed forces for combat service.

Amazingly, by the year 1920 Harley Davidson was the biggest manufacturer of motorbikes in the entire world. When the Great Depression happened, the company struggled to survive. Sales were down, but they began to book when World War II started. Mass shipments were again made to the armed forces. Later on, Harley Davidson bikes would earn a new reputation as motorcycles used by outlaw biker gangs. Many popular films in the 1950s through the 1970s brought the life of biker gangs to the big screen,. It was during this time that the nickname "Hog" was adopted.

New ownership in the 1980s led to a number of changes. The globalization of the motorcycle business really began to take hold, but Harley Davidson bikes retained their status as quality machines. The fame of these legendary bikes exists today, just as it did so many years ago. These iconic cruising machines as easily recognized on the road. The unique chopper style and powerful engines have garnered the international recognition they deserve. Many biker clubs and fan groups dedicated to this brand exist. If you are looking for a stylish motorcycle with grit and toughness, there is no bike like the Harley Davidson. Just ask anyone who owns one and they will tell you what it feels like to own a piece of history.
