Harley Davidson Zippo Lighter

Harley-Davidson Motor Company is an American manufacturer of motorcycles based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It is the most known motorbike company in the world. The first legendary motorbike was made in Milwaukee, USA in 1901, when William Harley (21 years old) and Arthur Davidson (20) created the motorised bike.
This prototype was built at Davidson’s garage, which was really tiny and spaceless. Once the prototype was functional, Davidson’s brothers William and Walter joint the project.
The company was officially founded on the 28th August 1903, and from that date they started producing.
Harley-Davidson motorcycles (popularly known as "Harleys") have a distinctive design and exhaust note. They are especially noted for the tradition of heavy customization that gave rise to the chopper-style of motorcycle.
For the Harley-Davidson fans, and the motorbike club members, these motorbikes are more than a simple motorbike or a mean of transport: it is a lifestyle, love for freedom, code of honour, camaraderie, and brothership in and out the roads.
