Harley became lifelong friends with his neighbor Arthur Davidson.

In 1901 William drew up plans for what he called a "bicycle motor." In essence this was a small motor meant to be attached to a bicycle and propel it. No motors really existed at the time so all parts for this motor were handmade at a friend's shop by Arthur and Bill Davidson. This is starting from the ground up on the level of extreme.
