Leather Harley
Why stop at the seat?
That's what a Japanese company thought when it began making an all-leather Harley-Davidson motorcycle (above and below), now on display in Milwaukee's Harley-Davidson Museum.
"The chopper... took 20 craftspeople from a Japanese company specializing in leather products more than two years to complete."
Wrote Mary-Liz Shaw in a June 9, 2011 Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel article, "The bike is a ¾-scale replica made entirely of leather, including wheels, frame, headlight, spark plug boots, chain, fuel valve, even the tools in the tool bag."
The special exhibit "Collection X: Weird Wild Wonders of the Harley-Davidson Museum," which includes the leather chopper, will be on display through August 21, 2011 at the museum in my home town of Milwaukee.
