Discovery brings story of Harley and the Davidsons

Discovery brings an epic drama series which takes a look at the origins of America's most iconic motorcycle manufacturer Harley-Davidson. Built from the ground up by founders Walter and Arthur Davidson and their friend Bill Harley, it was an invention that united their dreams and ambitions.

But the road to success was not exactly smooth – filled with innumerable obstacles, ruthless competitors and extraordinary risks. Together these three young men, the sons of blue-collar immigrants, gave everything they had to ensure the survival of the company they founded. But just how far would they go to reach the ultimate American dream?

Based on a true story, Harley and the Davidsons charts the birth of this iconic bike during a time of great social and technological change beginning at the turn of the 20th century. Walter, Arthur and Bill risked their entire fortune and livelihood to launch the budding enterprise.

Each of these men faced very different challenges, but it was the motorcycle that united their dreams and ambitions. For Walter Davidson, the venture was a chance to escape from the confines of society – to ignore the rules and build a bike that could go anywhere and ride hard.

For Arthur Davidson, it was an opportunity to finally make good on his name. And for Bill Harley, the bike gave him hope to break free from his overbearing parents and apply his talent as an engineer.

Discovery’s highly-anticipated miniseries Harley and the Davidsons will premiere in India on October 14 from 9 pm.
