Harley-Davidson's First Factory

In 1903, William S. Harley and Arthur Davidson built their first motorcycle--the first of what became a great American tradition. Their factory was a crude wooden workshop that measured just 10 x 15 feet. Though it may have seemed presumptuous to paint such a grand title on their shed, Harley and Davidson's later accomplishments would justify it.
