Like many of us, you might have memories growing up of your dad rolling his Harley-Davidson motorcycle out of the garage to take a spin on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Maybe you are even lucky enough to be able to join him on those memorable cross-country rides these days. You probably understand by now that there is no shortage of accessories, gear and bolt-on bits that your dad would love to have for his bike. Which makes Oakland Harley-Davidson the perfect stop to pick up the perfect Father's Day present. And to help, we've put together a few gift ideas.

Time, ambition and patience builds this confidence. That being said there are some things to consider when picking out your first motorcycle.
