Los Angeles, Sep 3.- The story of the legendary motorcycle brand Harley-Davidson is coming to the small screen in a three-episode mini-series that aims to bring TV viewers the sounds and sights of the iconic American bikes.

Produced by Discovery Channel, “Harley and the Davidsons” will premiere tomorrow, Monday September 5, in the United States, and features “Game of Thrones” actors Michiel Huisman and Robert Aramayo, as well as Bug Hall, best known for his performance in the 1994 film “The Little Rascals,” in starring roles.

But the motorcycles themselves, those noisy American symbols of freedom, youth and rebellion, are the real protagonists of a series that recounts the founding of the brand by brothers Walter, William and Arthur Davidson and their friend William Harley in 1903 in Milwaukee.

“Harley and the Davidsons” explores the origins of the company, the development of the first models, the competition with rival brand Indian, and the exhilarating but highly dangerous board track races that they both used to promote their bikes, all within the context of the early 20th-century United States, the two World Wars and the Great Depression.

Huisman said a lot of information existed about Harley-Davidson motorcycles but much less about the people who invented them, an aspect that allowed the creators of the series to use some poetic license.

He noted that Harley-Davidsons are now associated with a way of life and have achieved iconic status but said the series explores how that myth was created and how the vehicles came to be more than just motorcycles. EFE
