William S. Harley and Arthur Davidson are sons of immigrants who grew up next door to each other in the industrial hub of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. While in their early 20s, the childhood chums began tinkering with an engine for a motorized bicycle in a shed in the Harley family’s backyard—with the words “Harley-Davidson Motor Company” scrawled on its door. By 1903, they had completed their first racer model. Within three years, they opened their first factory and issued their first motorcycle catalog.
