The name Harley Davidson is quiet popular when it comes to motorbike. Started in the first decade of 20th century, it survived the great depression and is still producing some of the best bikes in the world. In 1906, Harley and the Davidson brothers built their first factory on Chestnut Street (later Juneau Avenue). They came with a first lot of 150 motorbikes in 1907. However, what boomed their sales is a interesting fact to know.

It was actually the World War I that started in 1914. At that time, the automobile did not own the roads and Motorcycles came in to fill the gaps as the two wheeler was dependable, reliable and fast. In the war, it was used quiet well by American and European armies to gather reconnaissance, deliver messages and also to fight their enemies. In 1917, roughly one-third of all Harley-Davidson motorcycles produced were sold to the U.S. military which shows how big a market the War created for Harley brothers. Moreover, in 1918, that figure rose to 50 percent. By the end of the war, it is estimated that the Army used some 20,000 motorcycles and no doubt most of them Harley-Davidsons. I would really love to own one some day.
