Today in motorcycle history, March 1, 1959

  The race season kicks off in Daytona, Florida, with the Daytona 200 Lightweight Road Race at Samsula Airport.

  Harley-Davidson hopes to make it 6 years in a row.  Since the inaugaration of the AMA point-standing in 1954 Harley has reigned as champion.

  1958 was a particularly good year for Harley-Davidson Racing with Joe Leonard setting new records in the 200-Mile Beach-Road race with a time of 1 hour, 59 minutes, 11.3 seconds and in the 50-Mile 1-mile dirt track race in 34 minutes, 33 seconds and Carroll Resweber's blistering record in the 20-Mile 1-mile dirt track race of 14 minutes, 5.2 seconds.

  Fun in the sun.
