Correspondent Tom Wilmer visits with Join Jim Fricke, Curatorial Director at the Harley Davidson Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Fricke shares highlights of the legendary motorcycle’s 117-year history.
The first Harley was introduced in 1903 in Milwaukee, WI and officially incorporated in 1907, with Walter Davidson acting as the first president. Arthur Davidson became the first general sales manager and the secretary, while William Davidson was the first works manager.
By 1920 Harley-Davidson was the world’s largest motorcycle manufacturer with dealers in 67 countries.
