Dear Harley-Davidson Owner:

One hundred years is a monumental occasion for a company and 2003 is just such an occasion at Harley-Davidson. As I am sure you’re aware, the motorcycle you have today is a celebration of the century of success we’ve experienced at Harley-Davidson. It is also a demonstration of our commitment to continue building the best motorcycles in the world for centuries to come.

We hope you’ll enjoy your new Harley-Davidson Motorcycle and we hope to see you on the road as we celebrate this milestone in our history.

Congratulations,
