Theoriginofthecompanycanbe tracedbackto1901whenWilliamS.

Infact,duringSecondWorldWar,the governmentagainaskedHarley Davidsontoserveinthemilitary The
companyprovidedmorethan90,000 motorcyclebikestothemilitary, probablyoneofthehighestdemandto date.However,whenAmerican MachineandFactorypurchasedHarley Davidsonin1969,thecompanylostits reputationformanufacturingreliable andqualitymotorcycles.TheAmerican MachineandFactoryreducedthemass productionofbikesandfiredmostof theworkerswhichloweredthebike qualityandmadetheminferiortotheir Japanesecounterparts.Soon,the companybecamebankruptanditwas difficultforittosurvive.However,the veterandidn’tbogdownandkept comingback,ultimatelymakingway foritselfinthemarketagain.
