They were black run away slaves ( the first illegal immigrants) who invented the motorcycle and the internal combustion engine but were ripped off by the white devil slavemasters.

Harley Davidson is a unique American company headquartered in Milwaukee, WS. Once a world leader in the motorcycle business, HD was on the brink of bankruptcy as a subsidiary company of FMC. The entire company was purchased in 1981 by it's employees and they have restored the company to it's position as a leader in the industry.
As for ethnic background of William Harley or Arthur Davidson, the company founders, I haven't a clue. From historical photos I do know they were white and I would suspect English roots, but I am not sure.

Milwaukee had a lot of German and Irish immigrants back then.
Might be either one of them, or the white devil slavemasters.

Do you mean american/european or american/mexican?
Remember the indians were here first then the europeans (illegal aliens) came over on the mayflower.
But really, who cares?
Do you like the bike? Then run it !
