Harley Davidson Wikipedia
Can anyone tell me a little bit about Harley Davidson?
Don’t want to look up in wikipedia.
Any bike lover could tell you that Harley Davidson is the cult figure in the motorcycle industry. Founded in Milwakuee, Wisconsin during the first decade of the 20th century, it was one of two major American manufacturers to survive the Great Depression.
In 1901, William S. Harley, age 21, drew up plans for a small engine with a displacement of 7.07 cubic inches (116 cc) and 4-inch (102 mm) flywheels. The engine was designed for use in a regular pedal-bicycle frame.
Over the next two years Harley and his childhood friend, Arthur Davidson, labored on their motor-bicycle using the Northside Milwaukee Machine Shop at the home of their friend, Henry Melk. It was finished in 1903 with the help of Arthur’s brother, Walter Davidson.
Since then, Harley Davidson Company has not looked back and has been effectively put into service in both World Wars.
It has a strong following usually consisting of Harley Owner’s Group. Today, more than one million members and more than 1400 chapters worldwide make HOG, the largest factory-sponsored motorcycle organization in the world.
The classic Harley-Davidson engines are two-cylinder, V-Twin engines with the pistons mounted in a 45° “V”. The crankshaft has a single pin, and both pistons are connected to this pin through their connecting rods. This design causes the pistons to fire at uneven intervals. This is due to an engineering trade off to create a large, high-torque engine in a small space. This design choice is entirely vestigial from an engineering standpoint, but has been sustained because of the strong connection between the distinctive sound and the Harley-Davidson brand. This design, which is covered under several United States Patent, gives the Harley-Davidson V-twin its unique choppy “potato-potato” sound.. The first cylinder fires, the second (rear) cylinder fires 315° later, then there is a 405° gap until the first cylinder fires again, giving the engine its unique sound which is loved by motorcycle enthusiasts around the world.
