The History Behind the Build

During the Second World War, the U.S. military needed a rugged, reliable bike for rapid deployment. Therefore, the Harley-Davidson WLA, based on the civilian WL model, became the indispensable workhorse. Indeed, over 88,000 WLAs were produced for the U.S. and its Allies, including Great Britain, Canada, and the Soviet Union, under the Lend-Lease program.

This trusty two-wheeler performed a variety of crucial missions. For example, WLA riders served as swift dispatch couriers, relaying critical information across battlefields where communication lines might be severed. Furthermore, the bikes were utilized extensively by Military Police for convoy escort and patrolling duties in the rear areas. Moreover, as Allied forces pushed through Europe, particularly following the Normandy Landings (D-Day), the WLA motorcycles frequently rode at the spearhead of advancing troops. This constant presence earned the bike its powerful nickname, as soldiers rode the WLA into previously occupied towns, effectively announcing liberation.
