A stunning new customised Harley-Davidson^® motorcycle has pushed the boundaries of design to create a bike which is truly unique and reflects the individual style of its Olympic athlete owner. The one-of-a-kind mean machine is the pride and joy of Iwan Thomas, who knew that if he wanted to make a bike his own, he had to get a Harley^®. The motorcycle was inspired by a creation that had been produced by customisation star Charlie Stockwell of Warr’s Harley-Davidson, based on the King’s Road, London.

This weekend there’s an exclusive chance to check out the stunning new range of 2012 Harley-Davidson^® motorcycles at your local Harley-Davidson^® dealership.
