To mark 100 years of Harley-Davidson in Australia and to celebrate in style we went along on 5-day ride from Sydney to Melbourne to learn about the bikes and the people that make Harley-Davidson such a cultural icon. Before setting off we had a chat with Bill Davidson, the Great-Grandson of one of Harley-Davidson's Co-Founders.
