Dear Mr. Wandell,
my name is Nils. I 'm a 37year old dreamer from Germany. Since i was a little child, i dreamed about Harley Davidson motorcycles and i realized in that age, this factory represents with its products freedom. I grow up and i whatched the movie Easy Rider. I never saw anything beautifull, like that pan head from Peter Fonda! Now i am 37 years old, i work as a social worker in Germany. I try to give 5 children which had lived in bad situations a feeling for home in that group i work. I try to give them a feeling for that present of freedom we can have, when we still believe in our dreams.
My biggest dream is to drive a Harley Davidson forty eight. But i got on my own 3 children, thats the reason i could buy one Fifty eight on my own at the moment. Mr. Wandell can you make my dream possible? I would do anything on my own to support every where i ride, that buisness you work for and support Harley Davidson!
My work is maybe not that important, but its a fact that passion connects you and me in the work we do every day. Whatever your answer is, i thank you for that symbol of freedom which gives a lot of people hope in our hard times! I wish you all the best, for you and your family. With a lot of respect i greet you from Germany!
Yours Nils
