5. Harley Davidson Started Out In A Wooden Shed
Possibly the world’s most famous motorcycle company, Harley Davidson was founded in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 1903, by William S Harley.
Harley had the idea of attaching a small engine to a bicycle, which he worked on as a hobby in his shed with his close childhood friend, Arthur Davidson.
A few years later and the small motorized bicycle was gone, and the modern-day motorcycle was born.
Within 3 years, the company had its first factory at 3700 West Juneau Avenue in Milwaukee, where the head office is still to this day.
The $5 billion company is known for delivering high-quality products with a brand that is recognized all over the world.
Not bad for a product that started out in a shed.
