Could Captain America ride anything else? Harley-Davidson created five motorcycles for the new Marvel Comics movie, Captain America: The First Avenger. One of those motorcycles will be on display at the Harley-Davidson museum in Milwaukee. Captain America’s jacket, shield, and helmet will also be on display.
The Captain America motorcycle went on display on July 1st, and it will be at the Harley Museum for the rest of the summer.
Harley said:
“In 2010, Harley-Davidson and Marvel Studios started their collaboration and agreed to have Harley-Davidson supply five motorcycles for the Captain America film, which traces Captain America’s origins as a World War II era superhero who rode a military motorcycle as a means of transportation.
“Salvaggio Automotive Design of Port Washington modified the current day Cross Bones model to look like an original 1942 WLA Army motorcycle. Harley-Davidson produced close to 70,000 WLA motorcycles during World War II, some of which went to Russia and the UK as part of Lend-Lease.”
Captain America will hit theaters on July 22nd. The movie stars Chris Evans in the title role. Hugo Weaving, Tommy Lee Jones, Stanley Tucci, and Haly Atwell also star in the movie.
