Harley-Davidson director of United States marketing Anoop Prakash told Rovell the following regarding the partnership: "When we first saw how it looked, we thought it was just so authentic and natural. Two brands with heritage in Milwaukee, built on grit and Midwestern values, who brought their product to the world and succeeded."
