• Podcast 616: The AMF Years of Harley Davidson

  What do bowling pins and Italian 2 strokes have to do with Harley Davidson? That would be the HD ownership of Aermacchi and the AMF ownership of Harley Davidson during the 60s and 70s. At this time, HD sold scooters, dirtbikes, minibikes and even a moped alongside the big cruisers they are still known for today. Why did they all go away, and will we ever see the diversification of HD again? But first we start with getting to know young riders Sophia and Arden, Liza plays a game of Moto Mad Libs, and we finish with a race update from John and emails. With Liza, Stumpy John, Miss Emma, Neil, Sophia, Arden and Bagel.
