   Our History


Our History

It all dates back to 1947, when the late John S. Reid rode his 1935VL from Gowanda, NY to the Harley-Davidson Motor Company in Milwaukee, WI to sign his authorized dealership papers and create a legend in his hometown. Upon his return, a new sign appeared outside the small barn located behind the family house. It read, "Gowanda Harley-Davidson Sales. John Reid Dealer."
Together with his wife, Babs, and ever-growing family, business was based on the simple goal of keeping our customers satisfied. Times have changed, but the heritage carries on.
Experience Gowanda area motorcycle heritage at Gowanda Harley-Davidson. Featuring John's original 1935VL, historic photographs dating back to the 1910's, AMA memorabilia and more. We'd be more than happy to share a cup of coffee and talk history!
Note: The Reid family is always appreciative of any historical photographs, artifacts and related items surrounding the dealership and motorcycling in the Gowanda area.
