Early Harley-Davidson dealership in Mexico.
Harley-Davidson motorcycles are one of the many iconic parts of Milwaukee culture. The motorcycle, which started on the west side of the Milwaukee in 1903, didn’t take long to find its way outside of city limits. After just a decade in operation, Harley-Davidson opened two dealerships in Mexico one in Guadalajara and the other in Chihuahua.
Now the Harley culture created in Mexico is on display at the Harley-Davidson Museum via the bike of Alfonso Sotomayor Canales, a Mexican stunt rider who became famous for his Salto de la Muerte, or jump of death.
