Whenever your talking about motorcycles, Harley Davidson is the king. It is the pride of the two wheeled industry. Its high position was not accomplished over night. It took blood, sweat, and tears to get to the top. It took many more years to gain the respect of customers.
Harley Davidson began in 1903, a man dream t of an engine of small size, this engine was meant for a bicycle to have it go faster. The man was 21 years old.
Harley Davidson began is Wisconsin, people love the sound and the design. It is one of 2 motorcycle manufacturers in the United States that mass produces motorcycles.
It took 2 years for William Harley with his buddy Arthur Davidson to work on their idea. The first one built could not climb hills without using pedals, back to the grindstone for improvements. The next one had a larger engine.
In 1904 they finished their prototype, in 1905 more than 12 Harley s were made. In 1907 they made 150 bikes, and sold to government agencies and police departments. In 1907 their V Twin prototype was built, 7 horsepower and went 60 miles per hour. In 1908 450 units were built, 1200 bikes were built in in 1909.
In 1913 they built a factory that was 5 stories tall. In 1914 they led all competition in motorcycle manufacturing across the globe.
Rarely do we think of these young men s accomplishments when we hop on and start these slick machines up, and heading down the highway, addicted to the low pitched deep sound, and certainly we cannot forget the power of these great machines.
