Customer Reviews

Hog Heaven
Hog Heaven is one of the many documenteries about H-D, however I liked to see the old black/white films in it! Knowing the H-D history all to well, the second part of the DVD was of more interest to me! However, it's a must for the real HOG fan!

Interesting mix of history of the company & some general stuff
This video basically goest through the history of HD and how important the military was in driving m/c sales. Also, as ww I and II ended the guys that learned to ride bought HD's to ride in civilian life. The interesting part to me was how sales peaked in the ~1930's and it wasn't until about 1980+ that sales again reached that volume.

Interested to learn that HD started making motorized bicycles. Also, was interesting that HD had many problems sales up's and down's from 30's - late 80's when they got really consistently profitable.

It is kind of a sudo documentary with a pro HD edge. Then it ends with a general info on other types of motorcycles.

If you are after an intersting historical it is worth getting. If you just want T&A & a beer and sit on the couch skip it.
