The History Of Harley Davidson

[@Jillybear265]

Teacher here: My kids loved this! You were able to keep their attention long enough for them to actually retain information lol! Thank you so much for a more brief history than the gosh darn documentaries. I always like these type things more.

[@AmericanArtifacts]

Jillybear265 so when you posted this comment I took into consideration the idea that teachers might use these videos. There’s a new one up just today. I hope your students enjoy it!

Outstanding job on the Jeep history!

I have had 3 plus 3 rice rockets. Loved them all.

Excellent presentation, the only dispute I have is that the Triumph bobber looks better than any Harley ever made

[@AmericanArtifacts]

The beauty of the first amendment is that it’s not against the law to be completely wrong 😆😆 thanks so much for watching! I am a fan of triumph and BSA motorcycles, I actually own a Triumph bonneville but I do ride my Harley alot more

[@leerobinson3135]

@@AmericanArtifacts haha opinions are like a holes..... everyone's got one 😉 but I respect any rider of any bike so stay safe brother and thanks again for the great content

Lee Robinson same to you my friend! Keep the rubber side down! 🤙

I love the pace of this video and the info is great. But the memes are distracting af.

So the jeep video has disabled comments but I have driven the very first generation "Jeep" (a military willys) so this is my experience with it: It is a very rough ride offfroad, like walking with no soles in your shoes, you feel all the bumps but is was nice on the roads. Easiest way to explain it is that they ride like a tractor Edit: Came back 2 years later and fixed the grammer

[@AmericanArtifacts]

THANK YOU for this comment friend! I had to turn comments on the jeep and maverick videos because there was a lot of Nazi related comments on both. Some trolls being rude to other commenters and those videos were uploaded before KZbin introduced the comment filters feature

Ratrodology Major yeah I mean anything that mentions WWII heavily seems to bring them out. It’s pretty sad

Glad you beat the tumor! My sis was taken by one .

Thanks a lot! Happy to be here, my condolences for your sister.

Thanks so much

Do you know who bought the 3 of the original 5?

[@colinkepple7555]

Years ago, like50 odd, my father mentioned a Harley Davidson 10-12. A model from the '20s or '30s, I think. I can't find any reference to this model anywhere. Can anyone shine a little light on this?

[@AmericanArtifacts]

Man nobody knows??? I’m curious too

[@sargemarine5450]

1200cc was a military model made "exclusively" for the South African Union Defense Force.

[@terencekellymybestscooters2415]

Mustang II can be beautiful. I did not like them during the time I owned 2 1969 mustangs then the bluemax funny car and saw their potential mine is a 12 second car .Bikers often ask what I have under the hood

[@AmericanArtifacts]

Different strokes! I think they’re hideous personally, doesn’t mean they can’t be fast. Look at the GNX. Fast as hell while subsequently ugly as soap

[@RandyOvercash-qt9yx]

Since 1908

[@goose32373]

Make more videos.

[@AmericanArtifacts]

There are more up!

[@aceystar1478]

On your jeep video you never mentioned the djs of the 80s the mail jeeps.

[@AmericanArtifacts]

True, although I mentioned way more significant Jeep’s in my jeep video than you did in yours.

[@aceystar1478]

@@AmericanArtifacts I've never made a video so that's a given

[@AmericanArtifacts]

Aceystar 1 oh so you’re just armchair quarterbacking. Got it.

[@aceystar1478]

@@AmericanArtifacts no I just wanted to hear about the mail jeeps because I like them and there isn't much in the way of information on them unless you really go digging.

[@AmericanArtifacts]

Aceystar 1 ohhh gotcha, sorry for the confusion. Yeah I didn’t really uncover anything about them other than the fact that they existed when I was doing research for that film

[@colinkepple7555]

You claim that every other motorcycle manufacturer has 'ripped off'' the Harley design. How about the Harley Davidson XA model? A horizontal twin (boxer) with a shaft drive. Achtung! A copy of the 1941 BMW 750 . Designed mostly for dragging a side-car equipped with a belt feed machine-gun. Often seen in WW2 movies. H-D built 1000 of them, but the US Army went for the Jeep instead.

[@AmericanArtifacts]

1 model? That’s the best you got? Lol thousands of models in existence are Harley clones

[@eldesgraciado6690]

TOO MUCH REVERB!!!!

[@AmericanArtifacts]

I agree! This was corrected in The newer videos. Accidentally had two vocal tracks running here on this one

[@mcinkyt]

So after they got rid of the socialist aspect, the company value dropped 43%? You might want to rewrite that section

[@AmericanArtifacts]

its sarcasm. a sense of humor would look good on ya :)
