In 1903 Milwaukee, two young men with restless intelligence and practical optimism sketch their first motor-bicycle in a ten-by-fifteen-foot shed. William Harley's engineering knowledge combines with Arthur Davidson's pattern-making skills to create the first Harley-Davidson prototype—a bicycle with a tomato-can carburetor and two horsepower of pure American audacity. Through freezing Wisconsin winters and countless mechanical failures, their experiments evolve from hobby to business as the Davidson brothers join the venture. The episode traces early V-twin experiments, board-track racing, and the fledgling dealer network that taught America to translate curiosity into distance, revealing how practical innovation and stubborn determination built the foundation of an empire.
