History of the
Harley Davidson
Motorcycle
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.
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
