5 Harley-Davidson Motorcycles That Changed History
By Brett Foote

Of the many over the company's 120 years in existence.

 

Wow. With the exception of putting a TC88 Softail picture with the 1984 FXST, I've got to say that this CCE article is a bit better than the usual ones he gives us.

 

Decent article, but can we not find bikes of the year you are noting as being important!?!?!?! 1936 Knucklehead changed everything and styling the MoCo is still using, but you use a picture of a 1947 model. Lazy journalism.

 

Good catch. I went right past that one.

 

1936 Knucklehead 61 EL.

 

That's a rolling piece of art.

 

Should have made it six and included the 1971 FXE Super Glide. I remember the first one I ever saW. It was stunning!y.

 

1- WLA - OK they used an actual WLA
2- 1936 Knucklehead, but use a picture of a 1947
3- 1957 Sportster, not sure if that is a later year or a customized bike, not a stock '57
4- 1965 Electra Glide, should be a Panhead instead they use a picture of a 1969 Shovelhead Electra Glide
5- 1984 Softail, should be first year frame 4 speed Evo model, but lets just use a factory photo of an early 2000's Softail Standard Twin Cam

Google search is way too easy to not have the right images to go with the article. Rant over.

 

So like reporters or politicians these days. They know so little about the things they talk about.

 

Ah, gotta give them some slack. Probably still have memory issues from going to the Sturgis superspreader event.
