The author has been an avid collector and restorer of antique Harley-Davidson motorcycles for several decades. The author has been personally involved in some aspect of every motorcycle restoration in his collection. His personal collection includes first year only Harley-Davidson motorcycles dating to 1911. He has an extensive Harley-Davidson Enthusiast library dating to the first issues as well issues of the early Harley-Davidson publication the Dealer. His collection includes all things unique and Harley, from kidney belts to five gallon oil cans to tank decals and emblems. The first antique American motorcycle internet bulletin board was started by the author and his then, teenage son Zach, over a decade ago. While not the fanciest, it still serves the purpose of acting as a forum for those who want to buy, sell or inquire about antique American motorcycles. http: //georgesantiquemotorcycletrader.com/ Motorcycles from his collection have been featured in museum posters as well as paintings and prints by the contemporary painter David Uhl.
