Harley-Davidson, The Sportsman's Choice


Back before everyone was tearing through the woods in there sport utility vehicles and ATV's, the motorcycle was the sportsman's best choice of transportation for going offroad.  Harley-Davidson had many ad campaigns which encouraged hunters and fisherman to use their motorcycles to transport them to remote locations where the best fish and game could be found.  Perhaps this was just a good sales tactic, but based on the numbers of photos in Harley's archives that show Bill Harley and Bill Davidson with fish draped all over their motorcycles, I think they may have been a little bit biased when it came to choosing ads.  Of course loading up a sidecar with a dozen fish in one thing, but strapping a deer across your tank, now that is something to see...
