HE MOOLELO HARLEY-DAVIDSON

ʻO Harley-Davidson ka mea kaʻao ka mea i ʻoi aku ma mua o kahi kiʻi o ka moʻomeheu ʻAmelika. ʻO ia ka mea kuʻuna ʻoi loa a ʻo kekahi o nā mea hana hale hua uila nui loa i ka honua i kēia lā. ʻO ka hui, i kēia lā he ʻekolu hale hana nui i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, e hoʻohana pono ana ma kahi o 9,000 mau limahana a manaʻo ʻia e hōʻea i kahi hana o 300,000 paika i kēia makahiki. ʻO kēia nā helu kikoʻī e hūnā i kahi hoʻomaka haʻahaʻa a piha i nā pilikia.

Ua hoʻomaka ka moʻolelo o ka brand i ka makahiki 1903, ma kahi hale hoʻoheheʻe ma hope o ka home o nā kaikaina ʻōpio ʻo Arthur lāua ʻo Walter Davidson ma ke kalana o Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Ua hui pū lāua me William S. Harley, he 20 makahiki, e hana i kahi kaʻa kaʻa liʻiliʻi no nā hoʻokūkū. Aia i loko o kēia hale (ʻekolu mika ka laulā a ʻeiwa mau mika ka lōʻihi), a ma kona alo e hiki ke heluhelu i ka hōʻailona "Harley-Davidson Motor Company", i hana ʻia nā kaʻa kaʻa mua ʻekolu o ka brand.

ʻO kēia mau kaʻa kaʻa hoʻomaka ʻekolu, ua kūʻai pololei ʻia kekahi e nā mea hoʻokumu o ka hui ma Milwaukee iā Henry Meyer, he hoaaloha pilikino o William S. Harley lāua ʻo Arthur Davidson. Ma Chicago, ʻo ka mea kūʻai mua i kapa ʻia e ka brand - CH Lang - kūʻai aku i kekahi o kēia mau kaʻa ʻekolu i hana mua ʻia.

Ua hoʻomaka ka ulu ʻana o ka ʻoihana, akā ma ka wikiwiki. I ka lā 4 o Iulai, 1905, ua lanakila ka kaʻa kaʻa Harley-Davidson i kāna hoʻokūkū mua ma Chicago - a ua kōkua kēia i ka hoʻonui ʻana i ke kūʻai ʻana o ka hui ʻōpio. I kēlā makahiki hoʻokahi, ua hoʻolimalima ʻia ka limahana manawa piha mua o ka Harley-Davidson Motor Company ma Milwaukee.

I ka makahiki e hiki mai ana, me ka piʻi nui ʻana o nā kūʻai aku, ua hoʻoholo nā mea hoʻokumu e haʻalele i nā hoʻonohonoho mua a noho i kahi hale waihona i ʻoi aku ka nui a maikaʻi ma ke kahua ʻo Juneau ma Milwaukee. Ua hoʻolimalima hou ʻia he mau limahana hou aku e hana ma laila i ka manawa holoʻokoʻa. Eia nō naʻe i ka 1906, ua hana ka inoa i kāna papa inoa hoʻolaha mua.

I ka makahiki 1907, hui pū kekahi ʻo Davidson i ka ʻoihana. Ua haʻalele ʻo William A. Davidson, ke kaikaina o Arthur lāua ʻo Walter i kāna hana a ua hui pū ʻo ia me ka Harley-Davidson Motor Company. Ma hope o kēia makahiki, ua aneane pālua ʻia ke poʻo poʻo a me nā wahi hana o ka hale hana. I hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope mai, ua kūʻai ʻia ka motika mua i ka mākaʻi Detroit, e hoʻomaka ana i kahi hui kuʻuna e ola a hiki i kēia lā.

I ka makahiki 1909, ua hoʻolauna ka makahiki ʻeono makahiki ʻo Harley-Davidson Motor Company i ka loiloi nui o ka ʻenehana ma ka mākeke huila ʻelua. Ua ʻike ka honua i ka hānau ʻana o ka ʻenekini V-Twin i kau mua ʻia i ka mokokaikala, kahi propeller hiki ke hoʻomohala i 7 hp - kahi mana nui no kēlā manawa. Ma mua o ka lōʻihi, ua hoʻonohonoho ʻia ke kiʻi o kahi thruster ʻelua-paukū i kahi kihi 45-kekelē i kekahi o nā kiʻi i ka moʻolelo Harley-Davidson.

I ka makahiki 1912, ua hoʻomaka ke kūkulu paʻa ʻana o ka hale kanu ʻo Juneau Avenue a ua wehe ʻia kahi wahi kūikawā no nā ʻāpana a me nā mea pono. ʻO ka makahiki hoʻokahi i hōʻea ka hui i ka māka o 200 mau mea kūʻai aku i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa a lawe aku i kāna mau anakuhi mua ma waho, a hōʻea i ka mākeke Iapana.

Ua kūʻai aku ʻo Marca ma kahi o 100,000 mau keke kaʻa i ka pūʻali koa

Ma waena o 1917 a me 1918, ua hoʻokumu a kūʻai aku ka Harley-Davidson Motor Company i nā motika he 17,000 no ka pūʻali koa US ma ke Kaua Honua Honua. ʻO kahi koa ʻAmelika e hoʻokele ana i kahi Harley-Davidson i hoʻolako ʻia i ka sidecar ka mea mua i komo i ka ʻāina Kelemania.

Ma ka makahiki 1920, me kahi o 2,000 mau mea kūʻai aku ma 67 mau ʻāina, ʻo Harley-Davidson ka mea hana kaʻa kaʻa nui loa ma ka honua. I ka manawa like, ua haki ʻo Leslie "Red" Parkhurst ma lalo o 23 mau moʻolelo wikiwiki honua me kahi kaʻa kaʻa. ʻO Harley-Davidson ka hui mua, no ka laʻana, i lanakila i ka heihei wikiwiki ma mua o ka 100 mile / hola.

I ka makahiki 1936, ua hoʻokomo ka hui i ka hoʻohālike EL, i kapa ʻia ʻo "Knucklehead", i lako me nā ʻaoʻao ʻaoʻao. Ua manaʻo ʻia kēia kaʻa kekahi o nā mea nui loa i hoʻokuʻu ʻia e Harley-Davidson i kona mōʻaukala. I ka makahiki aʻe, ua make ʻo William A. Davidson, kekahi o nā mea nāna i hoʻokumu i ka hui. ʻElua mau mea hoʻokumu - ʻo Walter Davidson lāua ʻo Bill Harley - e make i nā makahiki ʻelima e hiki mai ana.

Ma waena o 1941 a me 1945, ka manawa o ke Kaua Honua ʻElua, ua hoʻi ka hui e hoʻolako i kāna mau kaʻa i ka US Army a me kona mau hoa. ʻO ka mea kokoke i kāna hana, i manaʻo ʻia ma kahi o 90,000 mau ʻāpana, ua hoʻouna ʻia i nā pūʻali koa US i kēia manawa. ʻO kekahi o nā hiʻohiʻona i hoʻomohala kūikawā ʻia e Harley-Davidson no ke kaua ʻo ia ka XA 750, i hoʻolako ʻia me ka cylinder horizontal me nā cylinders i manaʻo ʻia no ka hoʻohana ʻana ma ka wao nahele. Ua kūʻai ʻia nā ʻāpana 1,011 o kēia kumu hoʻohālike no ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka pūʻali koa i ke kaua.

I Nowemapa 1945, me ka pau ʻana o ke kaua, hoʻomaka hou ka hana ʻana o nā motoka no ka hoʻohana kīwila. I ʻelua mau makahiki ma hope mai, e hoʻokō i ka makemake nui o nā motika, loaʻa i ka ʻoihana ka lua o kāna hale hana - ka hale kanu ʻo Capitol Drive - ma Wauwatosa, a ma ka mokuʻāina ʻo Wisconsin hoʻi. Ma 1952, ua hoʻokumu ʻia ke k thekohu Hydra-Glide, ka motika mua o ka inoa i kapa ʻia ma hope o ka inoa - ʻaʻole me ka helu, e like me ka manawa ma mua.
ʻO ka pāʻina no ka hoʻohanohano ʻana i ka makahiki 50 o ka brand i ka makahiki 1953 ʻaʻole i hōʻike i ʻekolu o kāna mau mea hoʻokumu. I ka ʻahaʻaina, ma ke ʻano, ua hana ʻia kahi hōʻailona hou no ka hoʻohanohano ʻana i ka mīkini i hoʻonohonoho ʻia ma "V", ka hōʻailona o ka hui. I kēia makahiki, me ka pani ʻana o ka brand India, e lilo ʻo Harley-Davidson i mea hana kaʻa kaʻa wale nō ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa no nā makahiki he 46 e hiki mai ana.

ʻO ka hōkū ʻōpio ʻo Elvis Presley i kū no ka puke Mei Enthusiast o Mei 1956 me kahi hiʻohiʻona KH ʻo Harley-Davidson KH. ʻO kekahi o nā hiʻohiʻona kuʻuna maʻamau i ka moʻolelo Harley-Davidson, ka Sportster, i hoʻolauna ʻia ma 1957. I kēia lā, hoʻonāukiuki kēia inoa i nā kuko i waena o nā mea pā o ka inoa. Ua hoʻokumu ʻia kekahi moʻolelo ʻē aʻe o ka mana i ka makahiki 1965: Electra-Glide, pani i ke ʻano Duo-Glide, a lawe mai i nā mea hou me he mea hoʻomaka uila - kahi hiʻohiʻona e hiki koke ana i ka laina Sportster.

Ua hui ʻia me MFA ma 1969

Ua hoʻomaka kahi māhele hou i ka moʻolelo Harley-Davidson i ka makahiki 1965. Me ka wehe ʻana o kāna mau ʻāpana ma ke kumukūʻai kūʻai, pau ka mana ʻohana ma ka hui. Ma muli o kēia hoʻoholo, ua hui pū ʻo Harley-Davidson i ka makahiki 1969 me American Machine and Foundry (AMF), he mea hana kuʻuna ʻAmelika i nā huahana leʻaleʻa. I kēia makahiki, ua hōʻea ka huahana makahiki o Harley-Davidson i 14,000 mau ʻāpana.

I ka pane ʻana i ke ʻano pilikino o nā motika ma 1971, ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka mokokaikala FX 1200 Super Glide - kahi hoʻohālikelike hybrid ma waena o Electra-Glide a me Sportster. Ua hānau ʻia kahi mahele hou o nā motoka, i kapa ʻia ka cruiser a hoʻolālā ʻia no nā huakaʻi lōʻihi - kahi huahana i hoʻomākaukau pono ʻia e hele me ka palekana a me ka palekana i nā ala nui o ʻAmelika.

I ʻelua mau makahiki ma hope mai, me ka piʻi hou ʻana o ka noi, ua hoʻoholo ʻo Harley-Davidson i ka hoʻoholo hoʻoholo e hoʻonui i ka hana, e waiho nei i ka mea kanu ʻo Milwaukee no ka hana ʻenekini wale nō. Ua hoʻoneʻe ʻia ka laina hui mokokaina i kahi mea kanu hou, nui aku, i hou aku i kēia manawa ma Ioka, Pennsylvania. Ua hui ka k modelkohu FXRS Low Rider i ka laina huahana Harley-Davidson i 1977.



ʻO kekahi wahi hoʻololi hou i ka moʻolelo o Harley-Davidson i hana ʻia ma Pepeluali 26, 1981, i ka wā i hoʻopaʻa inoa ai nā luna kiʻekiʻe he 13 o ka hui i kahi leka o ka manaʻo e kūʻai i nā ʻāpana Harley-Davidson o AMF. I Iune o ka makahiki hoʻokahi, ua hoʻopau ʻia ke kūʻai ʻana a ua kaulana ka huaʻōlelo "The eagle soars alone". I ka manawa koke, ua hoʻokō nā mea hou o ka hui i nā ʻano hana hou a me ka hoʻokele maikaʻi ʻana i ka hana ʻana i nā kaʻa kaʻa.

I ka makahiki 1982, ua noi ʻo Harley-Davidson i ke aupuni pekelala o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa e hoʻokumu i ka uku hoʻokomo no nā kaʻa kaʻa me nā ʻenekini ma luna o 700 cc e loaʻa ai ka "hoʻouka kaua" maoli o nā kaʻa kaʻa Iapana ma ka mākeke ʻAmelika ʻAmelika. Ua ʻae ʻia ka noi. Eia naʻe, ʻelima mau makahiki ma hope mai, kāhāhā ka ʻoihana i ka mākeke. No ka hilinaʻi i kona hiki ke hoʻokūkū me nā kaʻa kaʻa haole, ua noi hou ʻo Harley-Davidson i ke aupuni pekelala e hoʻihoʻi i ka uku lawe mai no nā kaʻa i lawe ʻia mai i hoʻokahi makahiki ma mua o ka mea i hoʻonohonoho ʻia.

He hana ʻike ʻole ia ma ka ʻāina a hiki i kēia manawa. Ua ikaika loa ka hopena o kēia hana a ua alakaʻi ʻo ia i ka Pelekikena ʻAmelika ʻo Ronald Reagan e mākaʻikaʻi i nā hale o ka brand a haʻi aku i ka lehulehu he mea pā Harley-Davidson. Ua lawa ia e hāʻawi i ka hanu hou.

Ma mua o kēia, eia nō naʻe, i ka makahiki 1983, ʻo ka Harley Owners Group (HOG), ka hui nona nā mokokaikala o ka inoa, ma kahi o 750,000 mau lālā o ka honua holoʻokoʻa. ʻO ia ka lāʻau nui o kona ʻano ma ka mākeke huila ʻelua ma ka honua. I ka makahiki aʻe, ua hoʻolauna ʻia ka ʻenekini 1,340cc Evolution V-Twin hou, kahi e pono ai ʻehiku mau makahiki o ka noiʻi a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana e nā ʻenekini Harley-Davidson.

E hoʻolako kēia propeller i ʻelima mau kaʻa kaʻa o ka brand i kēlā makahiki, me ka brand Softail hou - kahi moʻolelo hou. Ua kōkua ka hoʻolaha ʻana i ka ʻoihana e hoʻonui i kāna kūʻai. ʻO ka hopena, i ka makahiki 1986, ua komo nā kuleana ʻo Harley-Davidson i ka New York Stock Exchange - ʻo ka manawa mua mai ka makahiki 1969, i ka wā i hui ai ʻo Harley-Davidson-AMF.

I ka makahiki 1991, ua hoʻolauna ʻia ka ʻohana Dyna me ka hoʻohālike FXDB Sturgis. ʻElua makahiki ma hope mai, kokoke 100,000 mau kaʻa kaʻa i hele i ka pāʻina lā hānau 90th o ka brand ma Milwaukee. I ka makahiki 1995, ua hoʻolauna ʻo Harley-Davidson i ka FLHR Road King. ʻO ke kumu hoʻohālike Ultra Classic Electra Glide, e hoʻolauleʻa ana i kona 30th anniversary ma 1995, ua lilo ia i kaʻa kaʻa mua loa o ka brand e hōʻike i ka sequential electronic fuel injection.

I ka 1998, ua loaʻa ʻo Harley-Davidson i ka Buell Motorcyction Company, wehe i kahi mīkini ʻenekini hou ma waho o Milwaukee, Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, a kūkulu i kahi laina hui hou ma Kansas City, Missouri. I ka makahiki hoʻokahi, ua hoʻolauleʻa ka hui i kāna 95th makahiki ma Milwaukee, me ka loaʻa ʻana o 140,000 mau mea pā o ka mana i ke kūlanakauhale.

ʻO ia hoʻi i ka hopena o 1998 ua wehe ʻo Harley-Davidson i kāna hale hana ma Manaus, Brazil. I kēia lā, ʻo ia wale nō ka laina hui hōʻailona i hoʻonohonoho ʻia ma waho o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. ʻO kēia hui e ʻākoakoa nei i ka Softail FX, Softail Deuce, Fat Boy, Heritage Classic, Road King Classic a me Ultra Electra Glide models. Hoʻomaka ka ʻākoakoa hou o ka King King Custom ma kēia anakahi i Nowemapa.

I ka makahiki 1999, ua loaʻa ka Twin Cam 88 thruster ma ka laina Dyna a me Touring i ka mākeke. I ka 2001, ua hōʻike ʻo Harley-Davidson i ka honua i kahi kipi kipi: ka V-Rod. Ma waho aʻe o ka hoʻolālā futuristic, ʻo ke kumu hoʻohālikelike ka mea mua i ka mōʻaukala o ka North American brand i hoʻolako ʻia me ka ʻenekini hoʻoluʻu wai.

Hāʻawi ʻo Morsun Led i ke kūlana kiʻekiʻe Ua alakaʻi ʻo Harley i nā kukui kukui no ke kūʻai aku, ʻoluʻolu i ka nīnau.
