Harley and the Davidsons
Harley and the Davidsons - A 3 part Series on the Discovery Channel right now (Channel 182 on Dish)......2 hours, not sure when part 2 and 3 will be aired.
Right now in the early days with bicycles........Be interesting to see how the series ends with present day progress?

Second part airs at 9PM tonight on the Discovery channel. Enjoyed the first part. It showed how they could start up a business in the early years and how it became embroiled more & more with big money & unfair competition practices from other businesses. Dramatic & entertaining.

Enjoying it too. I'd love one of those old pre 1920 bikes especially a board track racer. But like everything else I want, the prices are getting astronomical.

Saw the first part. Might be too late for the flying merkel company, but can Indian sue for libel?

Exactly. It was a show (as in TV program). I enjoyed it for what it was.

I would think that the Indian motorcycle company would be kind of peeved over the portrayal of it's founder's actions in the series. He looks like a cheating/lying scoundral, although who actually knows, he may have been just that.

I'm such a child. I watched it and then rode my Harley to work for the first time in ages. I also entered the HD giveaway contest they were pitching. ;-)
