Willie G Davidson takes a trip to the MV Agusta factory

Legendary Harley-Davidson boss Willie G Davidson has made a visit to his new purchase, MV Agusta, in Italy for the first time since buying the ailing Italian motorcycle manufacturer.

Davidson made the trip just days after visiting Europe’s biggest motorbike show at Cologne. MCN caught up with him at the show and there is a full interview in the Wednesday issue of the paper on October 15.

Davidson said: It was an amazing place to visit – I used to work at the MV Agusta factory back in the 1960s so it was a real nostalgia trip for me.”
