The Harley-Davidson brand traces its roots back to 1903, when Harley and Davidson (William and Arthur) teamed up to create a new motorcycle in their friend’s Milwaukee shed. The pair had been close friends for a decade, sharing in a love of automotive design and mechanical exploration. The venture’s first motorcycle (the Model 1) was the product of two years of engine design, and lacked the ability to successfully navigate hilly terrain, but the seed of an idea had successfully taken root, and plenty of extraordinary bikes would spring forth from the pair’s collective imagination in the years that followed.
