Book Synopsis

• The asphalt is not enough - experience the Harley-Davidson lifestyle up close, which can take you to the beach, onto the ice or up a cliff face.
• For all "easy riders" who see a motorcycle as more than just a means of transportation.

They are the symbol of freedom on two wheels: No other motorcycle brand in the world has such an almost mystical reputation as Harley-Davidson. For more than a hundred years, the American icon from Milwaukee has shaped the motorcycle world. The crystallization point of this fascination is the typical 45-degree V2 engine. Although there were occasionally single-cylinder engines that were allowed to bear the Harley-Davidson lettering on the tank, the two-cylinder is a style-defining feature. Like a sculpture, it stands low in the filigree tubular steel frame. An aesthetic revelation. And a sonic revelation, too: once you've heard the gruff growl of an Early Shovel, you'll never get rid of it for the rest of your life. The book "The Harley Davidson Book - Refueled" is about the power and beauty of engines, the elegance and strength of the machines from Lake Michigan. A tribute to the Flatheads, Knuckleheads, Panheads, the Ironheads, the Shovels and Evolutions and the modern fuel-injected engines.

A pictorial journey through a tradition that is deeply rooted in the USA's sense of freedom, which glides through the present with such inspiration and carries this spirit into the future. What would Easy Rider be without the two iconic protagonists "Billy Bike" and "Captain America", the most famous motorcycle in the world? This attitude to life is conveyed in opulent, visually stunning stories and reports about the unique Harley-Davidson lifestyle. A road movie to experience. Vibrant, like an old Knucklehead in a star frame.
