(MARCH 2012) – During the 71st Daytona Bike Week this past weekend, Envision Radio Networks®’ American Biker Minute host Jeff Ryan was able to track down the first dude of motorcycling, Harley-Davidson’s Senior Vice President and Chief Styling Officer Willie G. Davidson for an exclusive interview. This rare opportunity to talk to Willie G., who is the grandson of Harley-Davidson co-founder William A. Davidson, was conducted just hours before Willie G. had announced his decision to retire on April 30th after spending nearly 50 years at the company.

“In the purest sense of the word, Mr. Willie G. Davidson is an American icon,” said American Biker Minute host Jeff Ryan. “American Biker Minute was fortunate to have had the privilege of interviewing him at what may have been his last official bike week appearance. This is the end of an era.”
