The Bentley Family has lived, breathed, and bled Harley® since the day they could remember…

Teresa Bentley cultivated her love of Harley-Davidson® on the back of her father’s 1946 Knucklehead at the tender age of five years old. She has fond memories of riding behind her father through the pristine yet rugged terrain of the countryside. The love that she has for her father’s bike never wavered. In 2015, she and Jim Bentley sent the worn and torn Knucklehead to be fully restored to its former glory. Teresa Bentley’s father’s 1946 Knucklehead now stands proudly at the front of the shop for customers to admire its craftsmanship and history.

Over the years, their love of Harley-Davidson® was taken to the next level when an opportunity arose that could not be let go. Jim and Teresa Bentley became the proud owners of Man O'War Harley-Davidson® (formerly known as Harley-Davidson® of Lexington) and moved the operation to its current location with the theme of a thoroughbred horse barn in 2006. Under their leadership and dedication to the Harley-Davidson® brand, Man O'War Harley-Davidson® has risen from the shadows and placed amongst the elites as a world-renowned Harley® dealership.
