With over one hundred years in service, Harley Davidson is pinned the most popular and respected motorcycle manufacturer in the United States. 1903 was the beginning of Harley's motorcycle debut. Blossoming from military and racing bikes, Harley Davidson is best known for the leisure roadster. Milwaukee, Wisconsin was Harley Davidson's birthplace and it's reminded of the birth every year when motorcycle enthusiasts converge there.
Arthur Davidson and William Harley founded Harley Davidson in 1903. With their first Harley being constructed in a tiny wooden shed in Wisconsin, the first ever Harley dealership was started in 1904 in Chicago, Illinois by C.H. Lang. Henry Meyer was the first individual to ever buy a Harley Davidson and he bought it directly from Milwaukee.
Making a debut into the motorcycle racing arena, 1905 saw a Harley motorcycle win a race. Continuing onward and upward in the racing venue, the Harley Davidson took the racing circuit by storm competing in endurance competitions, lap races and off-road racing. This led to the creation of Harley's racing department in 1913.
One-third of all Harley Davidson motorcycles were purchased by the United States Military in 1917. And, within one year, fifty percent of the motorcycles used by the military were Harleys. By the end of World War One, 20,000 motorcycles were put to the test during combat with the majority of those motorcycles being manufactured by the Harley Davidson Company. H.O.G. (short for Harley Owners Group) was formed in 1983 by a group of Harley enthusiasts. HOG is the largest motorcycle club on record with over five hundred thousand members on the book in 2000.
The year 2010 will surely be another ground breaking year for Harley Davidson. Enhanced accessories, improved technology and unsurpassed quality will propel Harley into another record breaking year.
