HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLES - Harley-Davidson is the iconic American motorcycle manufacturer.  The obsession with this American Company has grown immensely from the 1980's through today (2016).   Founded out of a small shed in 1903 by William S. Harley and brothers Arthur and Walter Davidson in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  The Motor Company produces traditional cruiser motorcycles utilizing air-cooled V-Twin engines.  

When Harley and Davidson produced and sold their first motorcycle in 1903, they were one of many small motorcycle Marques springing up across the country.  Flash forward more than a century and the Harley-Davidson brand is so rooted in American culture that the history of the company intertwines with the history of America itself.  Harley-Davidson incorporated in 1907, with William Davidson officially joining forces with his two brothers and Harley.  Setting down roots in Milwaukee, Harley-Davidson began hiring employees and by the end of the decade were producing bikes using its signature 45-degree air-cooled V-Twin.
