A Century Of Harley Davidson Legacy
Author: Low Jeremy

The beginning of the Harley-Davidson Motor Company in 1903 was
very impressive. The founders, Bill Harley and Arthur Walter
Davidson, began at a prototype with a small engine- so weak that
it cannot conquer the Milwaukee hills. But, all things must have
started from small beginnings. And that was exactly what
happened to the Harley-Davidson Motor Company. Schoolboys, as
they can be considered, Bill and Arthur may have been born to
give contribution to the motor industry.

The concept of the first Harley-Davidson motorcycle was very
advanced at that time considering that fact that these two
individuals were living in the period where horses were still
the main form of transportation and automobiles were still
developing. Bill and Arthur lived in an era where motorcycles
were still in infant stage. What was more surprising was that,
Bill and Arthur were still too young to be founders of a company
then.

The prototype may be considered a success but could not produce
more power to be efficient in hills. As resourceful as they
were, Bill and Arthur made stronger engines that produced more
power and speed.

That very same year, Harley-Davidson made its very first sale.
Two years later they had made 11 motorcycles. And in 1908, they
had made 154.

As the years went by, the company had produced and sold more
and more units. Harley-Davidson, which started at a small
backyard of a modest home, grew to become a motorcycle empire in
a very short span of time.

Innovations after innovations and awards after awards,
Harley-Davidson Motors had increased its reputation as the
leader in the motorcycle industry.

Harley-Davidson was one of the 2 motor companies that had been
commissioned to mass-produce motorcycles for the government to
be used for First World War and the Second World War as well.

Within the 100 years of the company's existence, they had been
challenged with so many trials.
The company's sale went off in some periods but they regained
on the next. The company's quality had been compromised but they
had regained it. And like the toughness of the motorcycles they
built, the company had remained tough.

After more than a century of motorcycle manufacturing,
Harley-Davidson is among the most sought after motorcycle brands
around the world. They have created several models that are
truly world-class. Harley-Davidson will continue to manufacture
quality motorcycles that are indeed an exiting machine to ride.
