When William Harley together with Arthur & Walter Davidson realised their dream and started the now world famous
Harley-Davidson Motor Company in a wooden shed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. You would have to wonder if they had any idea of the impression this
company would place on the world. Although the first prototypes were around as early as 1901, the very first production Harley-Davidson
rolled of the production line in 1903. Harley-Davidson celebrated it's 100th Birthday in 2003, believed to be the only Motorcycle
Company to be in production for 100 years.
