摘要

The 1980S decade of im-proved machining. Low-friction ball bearings led to a practical bicycle, for instance. It was also the decade in which the internal combustion engine that had been invented 20 years earlier by Nikolaus Otto would demonstrate its usefulness. The world is now celebrating the centennial of three internal combustion engine-driven milestones. Wilbur and Orville Wright achieved controllable and powered flight at Kitty Hawk, with a barely adequate 16-horse-power gas engine they had made in their bicycle shop. Henry Ford in Detroit founded his motor company that rapidly made the horse obsolete and revolutionized our way of life. And in Milwaukee, the 22-year-old William Harley and 21-year-old Arthur Davidson sold their first motorcycle to schoolyard pal Henry Meyer. While the two-wheel motorized vehicle did not have as much cultural influence as the automobile and the airplane, it remains an important form of transportation, and more: It's also an icon.
