Information
------------------------------

In 1903, the same year Henry Ford incorporated the Ford Motor Company and the Wright brothers first flew, William Harley and his friends Arthur and Walter Davidson launched the Harley-Davidson Motor Company. From the beginning a unique and characteristic sound endeared the Harley-Davidson to its owners. The Harley's pistons connected to its crankshaft in a way that caused the motor to give two "pops" then a quiet pause as it hummed along the road.
During World War I Harley-Davidson manufactured nearly 20,000 motorcycles for the U.S. government. And during World War II virtually all of the Harleys produced went towards the war effort. As nations such as England were forced to give up motorcycle production to favor production of tanks and planes, Harley's motorcycles were also shipped overseas to U.S. allies.
Following WWII the Harley's myth continued to grow. Its main U.S. competitor, Indian Motorcycle, ceased production in the 1950s. Veteran owners, new bikers, and even movies such as Easy Rider raised the Harley Davidson to the status of American icon. HARLEY-DAVIDSON traces the history and heritage of these legendary machines and follows the company from its modest beginnings in a Detroit shack to today's phenomenal succes.
