Received from Rich Ross, President of Discovery Channel, my invitation to the premiere in Los Angeles on August 1st of “Harley And The Davidsons” The series tells the story of the birth of the iconic brand launched in 1903 by two friends from Milwaukee, William Harley and Arthur Davidson.
In the series, Michael Huisman (Daario Naharis on “Game of Thrones”) will star as Walter Davidson, while Robert Aramayo will play William (Bill) Harley and Bug Hall will portray Arthur Davidson.
Harley and the Davidsons is set to premiere on the Discovery Channel Monday, Sept. 5, with its first two-hour installment. Two additional two-hour installments will air over the next two nights, Tuesday, Sept. 6, and Wednesday, Sept. 7, 2016.
This should be interesting! peace
Trailer is excellent. Should be good. But probably not historically 100% true.
Anyone know if we will get this in the UK?
it should be better then all the other BS about bikers on TV
Their goal was to be the #1 MOTOR Company, Motorcycles were an afterthought. This will be mostly fiction.
The best and most accurate source of early Harley-Davidson history I have encountered is Herbert Wagner’s “At The Creation – Myth, Reality, and the Origin of the Harley-Davidson Motorcycle, 1901-1909” It blows away many myths that have long been accepted as facts. Whether this show is historically factual or not, it should be entertaining and put motorcycling in a positive light.
Good stuff
Haha this gave me a good chuckle. As long you keep in mind that it’s just entertainment it could be a fun watch.
Sadly, most of these docudramas do more harm than good, making up a lame story where a good one already exists. I’m sure the episode where Bill and Walter are trapped in the original 37th ST shed and surrounded by zombies will be exciting, though.
it will be nice to see the old grey ghosts in this one and the garage they started in,
emailed all my biker buddies to watch
Can’t wait to see it. I’m sure they will take liberty in the story, but the history is there. Hope they show the lady secretary who used to ride and appeared in some of their ads.
Has to be better than Sons-o-Bundy…
-nicker-
Yes, it will be HIGHLY fictional !!!
But it should be fun to watch, what the hell !!!
I plan on watching / DVR the series

“It’s like an explosion between your legs” Classic!
Me likey, bring it!
Comes at an interesting time as the company is in troubled waters with the brake recall and shipping
bikes to dealers that are not selling. The Harley shops in my area are down to skeleton crews with most
employees laid off. It is not just the financial slump the factory is just too slow to adapt change!
O.K. a shameless plug ! Please go to http://www.timelessmotorcompany.com to see replicas for sale of the originals
Thanks Mike.
This is really a sad, very poorly written series. Harley may be having some sales issues, but if I thought that Harley was somehow behind it, the show comes off as sort of desperate. It’s incredibly predictable, goes out of its way to make HD seem like the all-American good guys and Indian as the evil empire. If it wasn’t for the racing scenes and bike replicas, it wouldn’t be worth watching at all. Too bad.
