World War II transforms Harley-Davidson's WLA military motorcycles into lifelines across muddy European battlefields and Pacific island campaigns. More than 88,000 WLAs serve as dispatch riders' mounts, carrying crucial intelligence through enemy territory and proving their reliability under conditions no civilian motorcycle would ever face. Veterans return home with deep emotional bonds to machines that kept them alive, flooding the civilian market with surplus motorcycles and military-trained riders. This massive influx creates a new motorcycle culture built on genuine expertise and hard-earned loyalty, as former soldiers translate their combat-tested mechanical knowledge into the foundation of America's post-war riding community.
