H-D say this partnership aims to recognise the incredible sacrifice military personnel have made, and continue to make, in defence of the values our nation holds so dearly. Throughout Australia’s recorded military history, Australian service men and women have participated in numerous conflicts – from “The Great War” in 1914, to more recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. In addition to protecting our freedom and upholding our values, Australian participation in global military conflict has helped shape our national identity – specifically the much-loved ANZAC spirit.

“Supporting the military has always been a core value of Harley-Davidson”, said Nigel Keough, Managing Director of Harley-Davidson Australia. “Here in Australia, it’s an honour to do our bit in supporting the men and women of the defence force, and we’re thrilled to be extending our partnership program to Australian Partners of Defence.”

Harley-Davidson has a proud history of supporting current and returned service personnel. 1916 saw the beginning of this long and prosperous partnership, after General “Black Jack” Pershing and his men chased the infamous Pancho Villa out of the U.S. on Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Since then, the company has worked closely with the military department and has manufactured motorcycles specifically used for defence.

Production of military specific Harley-Davidson® motorcycles ended in 1998, but its roots are forever cemented in the military community and run much deeper than producing motorcycles. The newly announced partnership with APOD is further evidence of the company’s loyalty and commitment to all Australian’s who have worn, or continue to wear, the uniform.

The iconic motorcycle brand added Australian Partners of Defence to its well-established military support program.
