Your thread title makes it sound like you're getting a job at Harley. Here, that's what hire means. You want to RENT a Harley. Where in Alabama?

Go to Eaglerider.com and use their search function for the location you're going to. That's where to start this process.

Depends upon where you are in Alabama, Eagle Riders only location in Alabama is in Opelika, near Columbus, GA (which also has a rental facility). Southern part may be better to go to Pensacola or Tallahassee, Florida, and if you are flying into Atlanta it may be easier to pick up your bike there.

May want to pick the bike up in Philly. Although bike rental is much more expensive than car rental.

But you could ride down through the tail of the dragon on the way there. Take the Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway. The best motorcycling roads in the country are between Philly and Alabama.
