In the beginning....men only dreamed of making a vehicle that was powered by an internal combustion engine and many had tried to make their dreams a reality. 

History of the motorcycle reveals..."The craze had begun in Europe in 1885, when two Germans, Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz, working independently within sixty miles of each other joined forces with the Cologne engineer Nikolaus Otto. Amongst a handful of brilliant minds, the turn of the century was the beginning of a taste of technology that was yet to come. 

In the spring of 1903 a young Harley and Davidson produced their first motorcycle taking the world by storm but their glory was to be over-shadowed by a pair of bicycle mechanics, Wilbur and Orville Wright from Daytona, Ohio who took some of that limelight with a crude machine named 'Flyer 1'. This machine was "powered by a twelve-horsepower engine that would leave the ground for 120 feet at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina."  

"In Detroit, a few hundred miles east of Milwaukee, across Lake Michigan, Henry Ford, following a series of false starts, incorporated the Ford Motor Company and began production of a small eight-horsepower Model A two seater that would be sold to 658 customers within the first twelve months. The age of the gasoline engine was about to accelerate to maximum speed."
