Harley-Davidson got its humble start when William Harley and Arthur Davidson produced the first production motorcycle in 1903. The motorbike was to be a racing bike, and was built in a small wooden shed with the words Harley-Davidson Motor Company written on the front door. One year later Harley-Davidson had put out 3 production motorcycles for the public. In 1905 Harley-Davidson wins its first race and hires its first employee. By 1906, the first fifty motorcycles were manufactured. Two years later, in 1908, Harley-Davidson sold the first motorcycle to be used in police service to the Detroit Police Department.

In 1912 H-D started building its 6 story factory and exports its first bikes to Japan, the first time sales were extended outside of the United States. 1914 marks the year H-D formally enters itself into the national racing circuit, and is quickly known as "The Wrecking Crew" for its dominance in the racing industry. By 1917 one-third of all motorcycles produced would be sold to the military, and was also the start of the Service School for Harley-Davidson Mechanics, for both military and civilian bikes.
