This brief, beautifully illustrated history of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle is a delight to read. Norris, a London-based photographer and writer, covers the early years from the first simple Harley-Davidson cycle in 1903 to today's flashy, expensive models. The narrative is brief, concise, accurate, and interesting and provides keen insight into one of the world's greatest machines. This is not a book of technical data but a social history of how the American-made cycle has affected the lives of those who appreciate a motorcycle for what it can do or for the status it brings. Essential for any public library collection serving motorcycle enthusiasts.-- H. Robert Malinowsky, Univ. of Illinois at Chicago
