Classic Harley
Author(s): Mark Williams
A Harley-Davidson motorcycle is unlike any other. American-made, heavy, and pulsating, it is set apart by its uniqueness. But the Harley is also a symbol for such things as brotherhood, masculinity, loyalty, and being an outsider. Williams tries to capture those attitudes and the spirit of the machine itself through images both of Harleys and of the Harley culture that embodies much of the symbolism. This photo assemblage offers colorful glimpses of customized Harleys, epic events like the annual Sturgis, South Dakota, rally, and lives that appear to be lived on the fringe.
