In this episode, we sit down with Bill Davidson, the son of Willie G. Davidson and great-grandson of Harley-Davidson co-founder William A. Davidson. Few names carry as much weight in the motorcycle world as Davidson, and Bill has spent his entire life surrounded by one of the most iconic brands in motorcycling. We talk about his unique upbringing in the Davidson family, what Harley-Davidson means to him, the responsibility of carrying that legendary last name, and how he’s seen the brand evolve over the decades. From stories about life inside the family to thoughts on Harley’s future with bikes like the LiveWire and Pan America, Bill gives us a rare perspective you won’t hear anywhere else. If you love Harley-Davidson, motorcycle history, or just great storytelling from someone who’s lived it, this is an episode you won’t want to miss. 00:00 Intro 00:37 Advertisement 01:17 A preamble 02:09 Introducing Bill Davidson 03:45 Bill's first taste of freedom 06:05 Feeling the weight of the name 13:38 Early memories of meeting fans 17:14 What does Harley Davidson mean to you/How has that changed over time? 24:35 Balancing Harley's past, present, and future 30:30 Harley has the biggest challenge in the industry 37:30 Advertisement 38:14 Favorite model and why 40:40 What competitor impressed you? 43:24 Do laws make Harley and its owners more creative? 44:45 What do you say to riders who say "That's my dad's brand." 46:56 Pivotal moment in Harley's history 53:52 Thoughts on Harley entering other segments 55:27 Biggest misconception of Harley or its riders 59:22 Advice to new Harley Davidson owners 01:00:38 Rapid fire round! 01:08:54 Closer/Leave us a rating 01:10:28 Advertisement

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
