Historian Corner from Rick Jackels You made the grade... you're
a proud owner of a Harley Davidson Motorcycle.
But how informed are you about Harley-Davidson background
history and information?
Don't get caught along the curb not knowing
a few Harley facts for goodness sakes.
There's actually quite a long and withstand-
ing history behind the Harley-Davidson
Motorcycle Company. It's nostalgia, it's
mystique and it's ever-lasting duration has
made it a symbol of excitement beyond trav-
eling the highways and byways of American
motorcycling development.
The first Joseph Harley (1) came to the Province of South
Carolina in the winter of 1696/1697 with his wife
Mary and two children. His son, Joseph II, was born about 1685
and his daughter was born about 1692. It is
not know where the first Joseph Harley came from, but it is
conjectured that he was descended from the Har-
leys of England who have a distinguished history. We do know
that on 15 March 1697, he received a warrant
for 200 acres of land in Colleton County and that he died
sometime before 1706.
The first English settlement in the Carolinas was established on
the coast near Charleston in 1670, so the Har-
leys were one of the early families to settle in the region.
Only in 1710 did it become divided into North and
South Carolina
JOSEPH HARLEY II (2,1) was born 1685 in Colleton County, and
died 1736 in Jacksonboro, Colleton
County. He married SARAH WILLIAMSON Abt. 1713. Notes for JOSEPH
HARLEY II:
Joseph Harley shows up in a deed abstract as having been granted
400 acres by the Lord's Proprietors on 2
March 1711. In Book K, page 392 , date of 18 April 1733, a
mortgage was paid off by Joseph Harley, planter,
to Royall Spry as security for 2 bonds made by Harley to
Benjamin Goding and John Guerrard, merchants,
for payment on 410 acres. Sum was 1000 pounds.
Joseph Harley was more than moderately successful in comparison
to others of this period. He raised cattle
and engaged in planting. His cattle brand was one of the few
brands recorded during the first 65 years of the
province. In his Will recorded on May 19, 1736, there were
listed 136 head of cattle, 20 horses, 55 hogs, plus
miscellaneous furniture and household goods.

Did You Know from Rick Jackels Some Facts - Who is purchasing
Harleys
Over a third (37.4%) of all new Harley-Davidson motorcycles
sold, were sold outside of the United States.
If trends continue, Harley-Davidson could be selling more
motorcycles abroad than domestically within two years.
This is not because international sales are booming
(international sales were only up 3% in 2010 compared to
sales in 2006), but instead because domestic sales are crashing
(sales in the United States were down 52%
over the same time period).
Harley-Davidson sold 49% fewer motorcycles in 2010 than it did
in 2006. By model family those sales decreases
are as follows: 36% (Sportster), 46% (Custom), & 34%.
2010 is the first year since 2006 that Harley-Davidson’s sales
figures dropped by a single digit factor (8.9%). Sales
have decreased by 11.6% (2007), 14.6% (2008), 30% (2009) over
the past four years.
66% of Harley-Davidson purchasers in 2010 did not have a college
degree
Harley-Davidson Financial Services financed 47.9% of all new
Harley-Davidson purchases in the United States for
2010.

GROUP RIDE
Description: Nobody has more fun on the last Monday in June than
we do. And 2011 will be our biggest year yet. Not just because of

inviting the rest of the motorcycle community to join us. So get
your friends, neighbors, loved ones – anyone you know who rides,
any kind of motorcycle – to join us on Monday, June 27, 2011 for
the biggest Monday of their life.
The best part is that it’s free – you don’t even have to sign
up. And how far you take it is totally up to you. Ride one mile or
100 miles – let the road tell you how far to go. Because every mile
counts toward the total. After your ride, log on to members.hog.com
to record your mileage and download a Certificate of Participation.
Then watch the “virtual odometer” as it rolls toward one million,
two million, three million ... and beyond.
