S. Davidson, a young successful business man<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Who at only the age of 21 created arguably, the most iconic motorcycle designs in history.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The beginning of the Harley Davidson Brand History, literally is the start to a movie. (Which someone really should make) where the Harley Davidson bike, which was designed and made from scratch in the family shed, won a race. People took notice, and the first of these amazing designs was brought by a company, which then began to mass produce these iconic designs. These designs only grew and got more profound. Eventually, the Davidson&#8217;s created a empire for themselves that continues to this day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After Davidson sold several designs and won some elite races. Even law enforcement realised how amazing this company was, and in 1908-1909 Police officers began to use them.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Harley Davidson won countless competitions and continuously wowed the public.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the Roaring 20\u2019s hit Harley Davidson&#8217;s were the biggest motorcycle factory in the World. In just a short amount of time this company had gone from two family members making blue prints in their shed, to national domination. They not only had some incredible power behind their\u00a0 engines, but they had amazing class and style, a class and style that has continued to this day. The Brand History of Harley Davidson is truly proof that hard work pays of.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Jumping Forward a few years to the flirty thirties, the Brand History of Harley Davidson continues to develop. These\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0gorgeous motorbikes really discovered there unique design. Adding chunky wheels and seductive colours, they created and really defined that stunning Harley Davidson signature we all love. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1947 this phenomenal business makes the plunge into the world of fashion. Harley Davidson started to sell those delicious,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.harley-davidson.com\/shop\/mens-motorcycle-jackets\"> classic black leather motorcycle jackets<\/a>. That signature style still looks just as good today. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the next decade (<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1953) the logo was reinvented, as a special treat for the companies fiftieth birthday. This stunning design is what we use today.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even Elvis Presley shows of his new found talent on the back of one of these bikes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2001 the first ever professional female motorcyclist, joins the racing team at Harley Davidson, competing in several different races and bossing each and every one of them.

With bold colours such as turquoise, red and black covering the garments this phenomenal brand makes, but there name or logo is proudly shown on every single one of there design&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">The Brand History of Harley Davidson- The Watches.<\/h2>\n<p>The Brand History of Harley Davidson, proves that the secret behind their success in not only the world of motors, but also the world of fashion is that they kept up to date and on some occasions, the signature black leather jacket, started trends themselves. Combining both practical and fashionable this company dominated the bikers side of the fashion game,making everything from the turtle neck to the leather and fur combination (although buy faux now) The Harley Davidson riders always look good and that bad boy\/girl vibe is to die for with their designs.
