#SONSOFSILENCE #MOTORCYCLECLUB #MC High-ranking Member of the Sons of Silence Motorcycle Club Sentenced to 10 Years in Prison for Drugs and Weapons Violations If you’re familiar with your Harley-Davidson history, you’ll know that the all-American company nearly went bankrupt in the early 1980s. It took a dramatic, last minute bailout by Willie G. Davidson, the grandson of the founder of Harley-Davidson, to put the company back on track. That process all began with refreshing the heart of any Harley-Davidson — the V-twin motor. The old pushrod Shovelhead and Ironhead engines were out, and the brand new Evolution V-twin designed by Willie G Davidson himself was in. It turned out to be the motor that would bring Harley-Davidson back from the brink of extinction. Available in two capacities, it powered pretty much every Harley that rolled off the assembly line.
