1901 In Milwaukee, William Harley, 21, and Arthur Davidson, 20, Worked full time for Barth Manufacturing, a metal fabrication company. William was a draftsman and Arthur was a pattern maker, The after hours project would consume most of the next two years. At the time neither young man had any plans for a manufacturing company. their first objective had been to produce an outboard motor, In order to reach their favorite fishing spots more easily but soon they were captivated by this new device called a Motorcycle. Their first effort failed when they learned that a regular bicycle frame was not strong enough and the engine they used was not big enough.

1903 Three men from Milwaukee had a really unique view of what they thought motorized bicycling should be. In a 10 X 13 foot shed with the words "Harley-Davidson Motor Company" crudely scrawled on the door, with borrowed tools, and some metal, late April older brother Walter came home for Arthur’s wedding,Walter Worked in Parsons Kansas for one of the Rail roads, as an apprentice machinist in their tool shop. Frustrated by the kind of work he saw one of his brothers hired men performing, Walter took over. Walter returned to Kansas but not for long. Soon he was back in Milwaukee, working nights and weekends for his brother after working days for another Railroad in their shops Arthur and Walter Davidson along with Bill Harley set out to build the very first Harley-Davidson motorcycle. The bike was built to be a racer, with a 3-1/8 inch bore and 3-1/2 inch stroke. Using only a three horsepower engine, The first Harley-Davidson production engine was built. Assistance on the carburetor design came from Ole Evinrude, who soon afterwards became a pioneer in outboard motors. The trio designed a unique loop frame, which would set it apart from any other cycle in its time. .They would go on to build a total of three bikes in their first year. Henry Meyer of Milwaukee, a school yard pal of William S. Harley and Arthur Davidson, buys one of the 1903 models directly from the founders. with the added expertise of draftsman Emil Kroger they set about the task of building a real motorcycle. Kroger had worked in Europe on the first renditions of the de Dion internal combustion engine, and brought the drawings with him to the United States.
