I got to meet Jean Davidson at the dealership yesterday. Very nice lady

 

Who is Jean Davidson?

 

The following from her web site:

Jean Davidson is the granddaughter of Walter Davidson, one of the four founders and the first president of Harley-Davidson. Her father, Gordon Davidson, was Vice President of Manufacturing.

Jean began riding a Harley at the age of 12. She was the owner of the largest Harley Davidson dealership in Wisconsin and rubbed shoulders with all the Harley and Davidson family members, famous racers, Hell's Angels and even Evil Knievel.

She is the mother of five children and the grandmother of seven grandchildren. She has spent a number of years gathering personal family stories and old photographs to bring you a rare and exciting look into one of the most famous families in motorcycling history.

Most of all Jean is a storyteller who loves sharing the stories and experiences of her life as a Davidson through books and public speaking engagements. The adventures she has experienced, both in and out of the motorcycling industry, coupled with her enthusiastic, outgoing personality have captivated thousands of people over the years.

 

That's pretty cool. I have an autographed copy of her book that a co-worker got me while I was on sick leave once. It gives some insight into the human side of the family that is pretty interesting.

 

It's great to hear about the family connections. There are still Harleys over here in the UK, successors to the family that migrated way back when.
