OHV V-Twin’ have been replicated<br />

in Milwaukee. Various<br />

other movie references and<br />

memorabilia (e.g. Terminator<br />

2) divulge how much the<br />

Harley-Davidson product has<br />

infiltrated the mainstream.<br />

The Captain America 750<br />

Street model used in the<br />

recent Marvel film is perhaps<br />

the newest bike on show.<br />

Looking up and Harley-Davidson<br />

have recreated the famous<br />

Evel Knievel XR-750 1975<br />

Wembley jump motorcycle<br />

(the same painter even replicated<br />

the livery) with the identical<br />

bends and damage as<br />

sustained in the gnarly crash<br />

in London. Apparently Knievel<br />

used to have real dollar bills<br />

engraved into the fuel tank<br />

and the minimal modifications<br />

for making the 120ft 13 bus<br />

jump included lower footpegs<br />

and a drag chute (that was<br />

more effective as a showpiece<br />

rather than actually slowing<br />

the stuntman).
