Captain America's Motorcycle
Captain America rides a Harley-Davidson custom special motorcycle, custom built
for him by young motorcycle mechanic Jonathan Coulson of Queens, New York. Coulson modified the bike for the Captain in repayment
for the Avenger's help in reconciling the youth with his father. Captain America then took it to SHIELD, where it was further modified. While living in Brooklyn Heights, Captain America
stored the motorcycle in a service garage operated by Richard Dumbrowski. Captain America now keeps his motorcycle in his
van and takes it wherever he travels.
