Honda History
Honda Motorcycles - A Five Decade Journey
By Staff Writer
Honda has grown to become a top manufacturer of motorcycles. Its history can be considered a journey through five decades of forward thinking and technological innovations.
Soichiro Honda's success parallels the classic rags-to-riches fable - the lone individual starting in a humble setting, battling odds and succeeding, through talent, ingenuity, and good fortune. In a nation noted for reserve, Mr. Honda was and is often direct, frequently exuberant, sometimes hilarious, and always confident. He preferred getting his hands greasy in the shop over shuffling papers in the office. He chose learning on the job over academic paper chases. Yet when he realized that there was a deficiency in his technical knowledge, he did not hesitate to enroll in a technical high school - at age 29. The year was 1935. The motivation: learn why he was having problems manufacturing piston rings.
Harley-Davidson History
Simple History of Harley-Davidson
By Staff Writer
"Motorcycles, a mechanized version of a horse some may say, were first created in the early 1900's". (Scott, p.7) Harley Davidson, a family run business for over 65 years, produced one of the first American made motorcycles. "Through the years of boom and bust Harley Davidson was known exclusively as the builder of large, air-cooled V-twin engines, powering mostly large, heavyweight motorcycles". (Rafferty, p.8) Harley still remains the foundation of motorcycles today.
