History of the Harley Davidson Motorcycle
In 1903, William Harley and his friends Arthur and Walter Davidson launched the Harley-Davidson Motor Company. The bike had a quality engine, so it could prove itself in races, however, the company planned to manufacture it as a transport vehicle. Merchant, C. H. Lange, sold the first officially distributed Harley-Davidson in Chicago Roll Me Away! Sponsored By: The Lexington Business Association

Many
of the nineteenth century inventors who worked on early motorcycles
often moved on to other inventions. Daimler and Roper, for example, both
went on to develop automobiles. However, inventors Harley and the
Davidsons developed motorcycles and their business competitors were
other new start-up companies such as Excelsior, Indian, Pierce, Merkel,
Schickel & Thor.
