Walter Davidson

Focused and intense, with a steely confidence, WALTER was Harley-Davidson's President. The company was his life. Without formal business training, Walter had to grow into his role as president quickly. Born in Milwaukee in 1876 to blue-collar parents, Walter was the fourth of six talented kids. He became the practical force behind Arthur and Bill's fledgling company – the man who converted Harley's visions into cold hard steel and propelled their dreams of producing motorcycles into reality.
