The Story.

For over 45 years, John Pergolese has been chasing a dream. A dream born from the roar of century-old engines and the early spirit of America’s most legendary motorcycle brand. What he has assembled here is nothing short of monumental, a breathtaking collection of 23 Harley-Davidsons from the early golden era of 1908 to 1915. These are the machines that built and defined the brand that has since become a household name. 

The 23 examples offered here are more than just motorcycles; they are a rolling catalog of the innovation, perseverance, and untamed ambition that forged Harley-Davidson’s legacy. John has dedicated most of his life to hunting down and preserving these examples while also enjoying and exercising them on a regular basis. Much of the collection is offered in running condition, a rare opportunity as many other examples from this era have been relegated to static display. 

The Pergolese Collection presents a fleeting, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own some of the most pivotal machines that would help to define the course of one of America’s most iconic brands
