“Follow us, if you can!”

Issue: Dec, 1924

THEY all take your dust when you open the throttle of the new “Stream-Line” Harley-Davidson!
Everywhere, sportsmen are talking about this 1925 model of the world’s greatest motorcycle. Its rakish, stream-line design makes it the classiest mount on the road. It has more speed —more power. It is more comfortable (better springs and bigger tires). Yet the price is reduced!
Treat yourself to the thrill of a trial ride on the new “Stream-Line” Harley-Davidson. Test the speed, power, and vibrationless comfort of this marvelous motorcycle. But look out for “speed cops”—most of them have Harley-Davidsons too!

Issue: Jan, 1924

Hey everyone. Sorry for the light posting. I’ve been on vacation in NYC visiting my family and I didn’t prepare enough posts for the whole week. I was planning on processing some while I was here, but I’ve had some problems getting Parallels running right on my new laptop. I should have a fresh batch of new stuff up on Monday.

Winter Sports!
SKATING, skiing, tobogganing, ice boating — there’s a thrill in each, but none of these can match the sport of winter motorcycling on a 1924 Harley-Davidson!

Speeding with the snowflakes, over trails or roads, with a pal in the sidecar to share the exhilaration that makes you feel ten years younger!

Swifter THAN Skis!
SWIFTLY as ski-riders flash down a snowy slide, a Harley-Davidson is faster—when you open up its marvelous power.
And it is just as thrilling to ride, but easier and safer. Like skis, the motorcycle responds to every whim of the rider—every sway of his body. It is a personal mount — a pal, and a playmate — not just a vehicle. You never tire of riding it.
Motorcycling is the Sport of a Thousand Thrills—and the ideal way to get there-and-back faster and at less expense.

 Race with the Leaves!
Issue: Nov, 1931

Race with the leaves? Are you serious? That’s the best slogan you could come up with? To me a race implies a competitive event, with a winner and a looser. You don’t know who’s going to win from the outset, that’s what makes it a RACE. So what they are saying in this ad is: Cruising along on your Harley with the throttle all the way open, driving as fast as you can; you may still be passed by a leaf. You know a leaf, falling from a tree. Or kicked up by a light breeze.
Why not just say: “Harley Davidson – It’s faster than walking.”*
(except for very fast walkers)
Update: I saw (via Boing Boing) that the current Worth 1000 Photoshop contest is titled “Bad Ads“. I think that this ad fits the contest better than some of the actual entries, but they are very funny nonetheless. If you haven’t checked out the Worth 1K contests you should, they can be hilarious.

Race with the Leaves!
BREEZE down an Autumn road, free as the red leaves that swirl along with you. Open up the eager motor of your Harley-Davidson — feel the thrill of its power, the surge of its silent speed. What a motorcycle!
Have you seen the 1932 models? They are better performers than ever — handsomer, more comfortable, better equipped—yet the prices are much lower.
Your dealer wants to show you these new Harley-Davidsons — and tell you about his Pay-As-You-Ride Plan. Why not look him up today?
