At <strong>the</strong> Top of Africa<br />
I’m an <strong>in</strong>ternational adventure guide and also an avid <strong>Harley</strong><br />
enthusiast who rides a 2007 Heritage Softail. I recently got back<br />
from guid<strong>in</strong>g a trip of 17 people to Africa, 14 of whom made it to<br />
<strong>the</strong> “roof” of Africa, <strong>the</strong> summit of Kilimanjaro. After everyone<br />
had <strong>the</strong> opportunity to take <strong>the</strong>ir summit photos, I made sure<br />
to break out <strong>the</strong> <strong>Harley</strong>-Davidson flag I had been carry<strong>in</strong>g with<br />
me <strong>the</strong> entire seven-day climb.<br />

Hafa Adai (greet<strong>in</strong>gs) from Guam! These photos are of a<br />
<strong>Harley</strong>-Davidson motorcycle that sits <strong>in</strong> about 30 feet of water <strong>in</strong><br />
Apra Harbor, Guam. This bike was used dur<strong>in</strong>g World War II.<br />
After <strong>the</strong> war ended, Seabees and Mar<strong>in</strong>es dumped tons<br />
of unusable vehicles and gear overboard from barges.<br />
It’s unknown whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> bike was used by <strong>the</strong> Japanese dur<strong>in</strong>g<br />
<strong>the</strong> occupation of Guam or whe<strong>the</strong>r it was used by Mar<strong>in</strong>es<br />
dur<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> island’s liberation. Ei<strong>the</strong>r way, it’s a rem<strong>in</strong>der of<br />
<strong>Harley</strong>-Davidson’s contribution to, and impact on, <strong>the</strong> military<br />
and U.S. history.<br />
