well I can show you how

in sure and certain hope of the resurrection

to eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ

we commend to Almighty God Edward Eddie Hasha

earth to earth ashes to ashes dust to dust

the Lord bless him and keep him

the Lord make his face to shine

upon him and be gracious unto him and give him peace

you can show some respect

or you can leave I'll do what I want

isn't that what you always do Walt

isn't that exactly how Eddie ended up in the box huh

come on guys this isn't what are you saying

Arthur it wasn't his fault no whose fault was it Bill

I didn't want to race in that goddamn motor drone

but I did

for Harley Davidson stop it Walt you raced for you

you couldn't bear to miss out on that race

you could not stand to have anybody

tell you what you couldn't do

Eddie was like a brother to me

and now I'm with my rod my staff and my

the Apostle Paul shared

these words as he approached his own coming death

for I am already being poured out like a drink offering

and the time has come for my departure

I have fought the good fight I have finished the race

I have kept the faith

please repeat the sentence strictly lower case without

we're doing well though we're doing well

we're doing well we're doing

well

you're paying for both of those and the glass

The Harley Davidson Motor Company

announces that it not only condemns

motor drum racing but boycotts it completely

hereby severing ties with any dealers who

support these murder drone events it's gonna cost us

well it's the right thing to do racing drives sales

you know it

no motorcycle bearing our name will race in these blood

sports

there you go thank you thank you Miss Spice

Mister Davidson how are you I haven't seen you since

the tragedy at the race

I'm sorry about your friend

and I applaud you on your crusade

against the murder drones

so how are you

oh when's the wedding actually I'm not getting married

we went our separate ways as they say

huh he didn't want me to

continue working after we got married

I'm sure a lot of men feel that way

I think it's a sin to waste the gifts that God gave you

it's good seeing you you too Arthur

the journalist from the Milwaukee Atlas who

you know the pretty one the blonde

she wrote all those anti motorcycle articles

oh yeah the one with the fiance haha not anymore

yeah good

good

it's 11:00am wall yeah I hate these people

I like your boys I really do but alone this size

well it's hard to warrant Mr Carlisle our goal

is to be the number one motorcycle company in America

now for us to realize that end

we'll need a long term relationship

with a long term commitment

and it's gonna build 45,000 motorcycles this year

how many is Harley Davidson 10 10,000 but motorcycle

industry is booming and you limit your potential with sentiment

you should never have written that editorial

never catch up with Indian after that

we did what we thought best those motor dromes

sell out darn near every event the riders are stars

now some of them dead stars sir they basically

mint money for the manufacturers

you know and the fans love it everyone does

you know I go to the motor drums

my wife goes we take our kids we have a grand time

what do you tell them when someone dies on the track

nothing people die every day

you can die crossing the street

I'm sorry fellas it's just business

Walter seriously where are we going

I want you guys to see something

I should really be back at the office

it'll be real quick just pull over right here

they're out here all the time rain or shine

just wanna race

now those bikes aren't fast

but there's a certain appeal to it

and it's a lot more controlled

you're trying to tell me that this is safe

there's no such thing as safe racing

there never will be

motorcycles are dangerous that's what we build Arthur

Motorcycles

no steep angles no G force

brakes introduce some sort of rules maybe

we've already been over this wall

we gotta be out there somewhere or we

become irrelevant how is this relevant

how is this being out there

we can go back to flat track

racing but this time we build bigger faster bikes

way more powerful than the motor drones could handle

compete with Indian where we excel

in design we could double the horsepower why

motor dromes

sell out nobody's watching flat track racing

not yet best existing speed records two motorcycles

going over 100 miles per hour

I'm sure I'm ahead of sales and marketing

can see the potential in that

come on art

no

we're not gonna go straight from attacking Motor Drome

to jumping into some other kind of racing

we're not changing our position on this wall

but we have to do something

what can we do to increase sales speed I can't

sell a bike to a kid who comes in here with a hard on for speed we're not selling to racers

no to spectators

with you in a moment thank you

they only know what they see on the track

and they don't see Holly Davidson's

you think I like seeing us getting outsold by Indian

of course not time is not on our side Arthur

big companies are investing in motorcycles

and with it comes the full weight of their business

structure research and development distribution lawyers

licensing cross licensing patents

we have to find a way to compete

we're promoting a new loyalty program

for dealerships and customers loyalty

clubs

dealership clubs for the Harley Davidson enthusiast

you'll organize group rides

social mixers advanced demos of our new models clubs

no one else doing that

I like it I hope it's enough Arthur me too

it's knock first tonight

Friday already aren't you sick of eating here

I like it here it's um

it's quiet I like a quiet supper

thank you

papa I need knock first

but I won't be here tomorrow

yeah I got a date

oh yeah yeah

get your sister to cover your shift

by the power

vested in me I now pronounce you man and wife

you may now kiss the bride

it gives me great pleasure

to present Mr and Mrs Arthur Davidson

congratulations rats

look what can happen when you get charmed by a Davidson

huh what'd you say nothing

congratulations thank you so much congratulations

there's one area that Indians failed to exploit

the service sector

fleet sales and maintenance it's a good market

I've got bids out to the US Postal Service

the Milwaukee Police Department Sanitation

Gas and electric and the fire department

beat Indian by selling bikes to Milkman

Bill I've promised him prototypes I know that

that means more work for you but we really need these sales

good thing there's three of me

oh hi hi handsome

sorry I'm in the middle of this clutch thing we needed

yesterday

uh where's the baby with your mother

so did you eat or did you forget again

I might have missed breakfast breakfast

it's three PM Bill

I guess I am kind of hungry

ah you're the best and you work too hard

something wrong no not really

come here

there's more I have more

you don't have time to be messing

around with this kind of stuff

tell me about it

wow good job Bill

really great job a lot of work

so how much does this move the needle

compared with Indian not as much as I hoped

gentlemen gentlemen you please

I'm here today to make an announcement

due to

personal reasons

I shall be retiring early from Indian Motorcycles

the last decision I will be making as chairman is to appoint

my successor

he has an engineering degree from Princeton

an economics degree from Wharton

and has personally raced up and down the East Coast

I am sure

his new appointment as president will benefit the

MMA and the motorcycle industry as a whole

gentlemen Mister Randall James

thank you thank you thank you Mister

Uh Handy I'm honored by this warm

welcome and while I humbly accept the title

of president I just wanted to say

I'm not a company man

I work in a factory

just like many Americans and I am not

the son of a rich family I am my own man just like you

and that my good sirs

that is what motorcycles is all about it's about

making your own way

excuse me gentlemen we're looking for Mister

Handy has he left the building

Bill Harley Arthur Davidson and Walter

you do your research

well I watched your race in 0 8 you weren't half bad

actually I have a place left on my racing team

if you still got it in you

oh excuse me sorry I forgot

Harley Davidson don't race hahaha no no Mr

Randall we'll leave the motor drome racing to you

you don't race at all if I'm not mistaken

not for years not since your amigo died not racing

hmm that is gotta be hard on sales

well I guess someone has to make bikes or sidecars

for little old ladies

to haul their groceries up and down actually

Bill just designed a big new racing bike oh Bill

did did he and I hate to ask but why

for the Savannah Dirt Track race next month ah

well we we do still participate in flat

track racing but

to be honest compared to the Motor Drome it's just so

underwhelming how about a little side bet $1,000

says Harley Davidson Beats

Indian in the dirt track race

oh I don't know about that or is that a little too rich

for the new president of Indian Motorcycles

come on Randy

be a sport like you said we haven't raced in years

I look forward to it

I know what you're trying to do you think you can come here and humiliate me in front of my peers

we are gonna destroy you on that track

what are you doing

I'm taking advantage of an opportunity

no it's not an opportunity if you have to force

our hand

you're exposing us by relying on a bike that doesn't even exist

Walter you cannot

just do whatever you want at least I'm doing something

and Bill

yeah I get it you need a whole new motorcycle in a month

good man I saw your race at the Milwaukee

Motordrome for Excelsior

I race for Excelsior Indian Thor

where it gives me the best chance to win of course

what were you doing at the motordrome

looking for a rider who excels on the flat

not you Ray thanks welcome

the flat

Mr Davidson I excel at the whole race

true but you burn in the straight

and that's what we're looking for on the flat track

Harley Davidson racing the flats

it's more controlled

that way we can introduce our new bigger faster machine

right it's gonna be a battleship versus

the light cruisers you fly around on at the drones

a machine that will make Indian eat our dust

hey you busy no

just laying on a beach somewhere in a hammock

watching the waves go in and out

so how's it going

it's better or worse wall to cast the dice on this one

everyone's watching

this race and so we do what we have to do yeah

hey do you really have time to build a new machine

doesn't matter I have to

what is this is this it

this is power control and speed 2 speeds actually

this will be different from the saucers

at the outset which means a clutch which means a lot more command

of the bike

look art I'll build a machine that's big and exciting

and you'll figure out how to sell it

Soonar

be careful with the RPM it's gonna be easy to over Rev

this machine adjustable air sleeve that's right

it allows twice as much air to vent

also so it's drawing more fuel into the intake

so it doesn't need much I got it okay

not a bad turn out

yeah it ain't great either it's not the motor drum

give it time where it'll spread

let's just see if it's as safe as you and Billy made

this safer

there's no such thing as safe racing

that's Jean Walker

captain of the Indian racing team holds 100 mile record

I heard about him tough racer

yeah

he doesn't have what we have

ladies and gentlemen 5 minutes to the race

welcome to the show

gentlemen I see you did the right thing if you can't beat them

you mean beat them I'll see you after the race

how you feeling man good

I win this race you buy me a whiskey afterward

all you have to do is beat Indian we'll do Mister Bits

I'll beat all of them

ready your machine

whoo

yeah who the hell is that shrimp burns

yeah hot shot kid why isn't he racing he can't

he's sixteen

I'm here

what is so man

alright

on you go

come on Lee

how the hell did a trip

he's alright he's alright you see that

kids are long for this world

ugh

come on come on

come on man go go

that's my boy

no

go go go go go go

oh my God

will somebody tell me what is the soul of a man

here comes Ray

great job great race

I would have won the damn thing if it weren't for that shrimp

kid

hey Randall

you came in second congratulations

on missing the top spot

thanks we intend to do 1,000% better next time

oh yeah that

I'm terribly sorry I seem to have forgotten my wallet

look at this I knew we had a spike

is that right that's right

what does it translate to it's a oh don't do that

it's about 6% and that gentleman

is after our first race 6% yep

now if this is how we really intend to catch up to Indian

it's gonna eat up a majority of Bill's time as well as allocate

quite a bit of resources in order to

lift flat track racing from its lowly status

what resources incentives

we can do uh giveaways beer tents

all compliments of Harley Davidson

free beer yes free beer

kegs are cheap newspaper ads are not

the entire goal is to get people to the track but first

we need to build a racing team I'll find us racers

winners too not winners

stars

let me worry about the racers

what in the hell do you know about putting a team together

listen if I'm the one who has to sell the

idea that flat track racing isn't just

Motor Drome's redheaded stepchild

then you need to let me stack the deck

what's your name Otto Walker hello Otto Walker

what do you want I'm looking for racers

yeah yeah I am

I'm Arthur Davidson

I know who you are

good

your mom would be alright with that

yeah when should I take you on the bike

yeah you wanna go now yes I'll take it alright

I think it'll be great you know how to ride

then you won't mind switching brands

you took them apart now put them back together come on

ready come on we don't got all day

are you serious oh you bet

Arthur they're kids so were you when we first started

that one the pretty boy you sure he's not stealing his mama's teeth

that pretty boy is gonna bring the fans in droves

fans who have long been underrepresented at the track

he's lost his mind I think you might be right yeah

fans won't be able to look away not if they can't race

you guys are gonna want to see this outside

fuck

shrimp Burns

you must have heard we were putting a racing

team together

on and off the track

you know what I'm glad you brought that up Mister

Wisehart

even started they're the best racers

on our team yeah they better be what

cause I got the top

national reporters here covering this race

oh and I invited Mister Carlisle out from Milwaukee

Carlisle yeah the banker

a peace offering

to the man who likes to hog the track hahaha

ladies gentlemen

I'd like to thank you all

for participating in this event today

what you saw here today was only the beginning

with Harley Davidson leading the way

this will be the new era of motorcycle racing that's

right one that pushes the limits of engineering

one that allows our dealers to sell our bigger

faster new machines

and one that lets our exceptional race team

the Wrecking Crew demonstrate expert

control in extreme circumstances on and off the track

yeah

oh

what a show what a show Mr Carlisle

you be expecting a visit from me when we get back

about securing a sizable loan you got it art

oh have you met Chloe

hello Chloe

huh

oh damn that's an engine

it's heavier than the pocket valves

but she makes up for it in power

eight valves you say that's right

can I

oh

can't put this on the road not yet

that's a lot of juice Billy for a racing bike

when that'll be ready by the next race good

what's this it's from Schwinn Barnes

let's hear it from my boy my boy shrimp whoo

well they do you just weren't paying attention

guys what is it hmm

okay

okay we knew this was coming yeah it was inevitable

I I know it's just this

what's this mean for our guys

as we have shortages we'll hire new workers

make sure everyone knows when they return

they can get their job back if they want it

Ray's OK he's over the limit Jones is 18 and Otto

20

The Federal Government of the United States

hereby establishes the Federal Fuel Administration

to manage the use of coal and oil

in order to provide enough fuel for defense industries

the Fuel Administration prohibits

non essential industries from unauthorized applications

so in a nutshell no more races no more races

is that all you can think about

no of course not but it does affect business business

our business

our workers our racers

our friends are over there and we're talking about business

papers say this war's already chewed up 40 million men

just like Joe in 98 I know no you don't Arthur

we didn't start this war

but if it's come to it we'll go to the military

profit from war no no Bill we're gonna

give our guys an edge

with the rugged new war bikes you're gonna build for'em

it's beautiful Joe this the one you drew

huh

I love this lake I don't know if you heard but

we're at war now

we joined the Great War

there's a draft on

not like with you and the Spanish American

calling up over a million men

say we stay out of it

sending these kids to their end is madness

Walter actually wants to work with the army

build them war bikes or something it's good what

what was that Joe

you help

you go help her boys William

you may go in now who which group the general says both

we're using your boat because we need you both

Indian and Harley

Davidson are number one and two and we expect your full commitment at this critical time

how many units are we talking about

well to begin with the Army General Staff is

contemplating

25,000 from Indian and 15,000 from Harley Davidson

sir

our engineer has taken the liberty of drawing up a few

uh preliminary

military applications from our existing machines

but these are really very good our

entire engineering staff is waiting to work on this

at a moment's notice

waiting to see if you get the contract

ha ha I'm waiting to hear your specifications general

at this critical juncture

we have little time to waste on something

you needn't require

along with our full commitment

Harley Davidson is willing to offer an exclusive

maintenance program to the US military in what capacity

the Harley Davidson Quartermaster Training School

we'll send technicians to bases all around the country

to teach military personnel how to fully maintain

overhaul repair and if necessary

scavenge parts from one machine to another oh and uh

all free of charge

free of charge yes sir at this critical juncture

we feel that it's our obligation

with the strain of combat on man and machine

Harley Davidson finds it absolutely imperative

that the American fighting man know how to repair

his motorcycle in the field

rather than waiting for maintenance crews

like the British and the French and the German

armies do

sir American men already know how to fix things

that's right

why not let us give them that extra advantage

let's make it 20,000 each to Harley Davidson and Indian

gentlemen thank you for your time

thank you very much sir thank you Fools

they just cut their sales in half

no they just gained the edge

free Quartermaster training

school couldn't this ruin us no

this will not be our ruin

this is about customer loyalty it's an addendum

to the Harley Davidson motorcycle clubs

only now it includes the entire US Army

after the war we'll have an

entire group of loyal Harley Davidson enthusiasts

men who went to hell and back on a machine

that they know inside and out

that they love our machine

that means group rides social mixers clubs

Damn Arthur

it goes on every bike we're shipping it's not a hard part to make but we haven't

filed everyone's waiting they need to pour the mold

just make the part and put it into production

we don't have time for paperwork okay

they're basic pieces just get it done

yeah yeah that's it

Bill

just just give me one 1 sec

we're going home

I'm coming from from from coming everywhere

and we won't

it's over and it's official we won

war's been over for a week Walter no I mean we won

look at this

oh wow that is the first Yankee in Germany

on a Harley Davidson this is something boy

she sent a copy to Randall

I was thinking the same thing

I'll give it to him in person

they're racing next month in Kansas

really racing already war's over time to move on plus

Otto Walker's a war hero

he was discharged early and Jones comes home in a week

we're back art

listen Walt I got a job at the dealership now yeah

what if this racing thing is a bust

they don't take me back you wanna sell him or ride him

people are already

flocking to the tracks just wait until the wrecking

crew resurfaces boss

we got a war hero yeah we do

look at what I brought back

holy hell let me see that thing it's German

where'd you get this France

I'm gonna wear it on the track there you are of course

I can see you riding 90 down the flats in that boy

and over here are our selection of excelsiors I'm only

interested in Harley Davidson

I hear that a lot after their Army

Quartermaster School program

boys coming back only want harleys just like yourself

Mister

Johnson very good Mister Johnson

yeah let me just touch him get it done

here's the newest model of Harley I'll take one of each

new models and old

whatever series you have in hand and I will pay cash

I'll have a truck pick them up later tonight

excellent Mr Johnson

good to go

Arthur Arthur

look uh shipments are up manufacturing's the same

we need more guys excuse me gentlemen

good morning Jane I'll talk to you later

there's someone waiting for you in the meeting room

oh all three of you

no I mean who's waiting for us didn't say

get it guys

how may we help you oh shit you already did

I was at Mujahedin

I want to shake the hands of the man who saved my life

saved the whole battalion

we're waiting for that Holly Davis and

none of us would be alive

yeah we took a real beating

getting back to our lines and

German shells knocked me down

it was like it was a mess frame bent

crankcase pouring oil but she was still running no haha

got me out of there so I could get a message back to HQ

so thank you are you kidding thank you

absolutely I forgot something

this is from all of us it's our battalion flag

all the fellas signed it

I want every part piece nut screw washer pin

inventory to categorize

for the research team and remember

you've all signed a contract

not a word of this leaves the building

what you got

release the hounds

Bill

I really like this new gas tank

I call it the teardrop gives it a sharp new look

the new frame uh makes the saddle 6 inches

lower so it tweaks to the rider's position slightly

now this is just a prototype of course but we'll have

iron alloy pistons to replace aluminum slugs

alumide fittings for increased lubrication

yeah but this gas tank Bill

I really like this rounded

rounded

there's a letter for you who all of you

it's addressed to all of us

thank you

alright let's roll her down

we're being sued

it's a class action lawsuit

for infringement on a patented clutch design

from Indian Excelsior a few others what

this isn't anything

everyone

steals from each other you didn't steal anything

I designed the damn thing I you just didn't patent it

apparently someone else did

why are they suing us now over a 10 year old patent

we still use that clutch the same one yes

on how many machines

the majority of them

there may be other parts too

what over the years yeah

it's gonna ruin us

not patenting a part might have been common in the past

regardless once someone holds

patent it's grounds for litigation

given the scope of unlicensed parts in use

we strongly suggest you settle out of court

unlicensed parts that I designed

if you wish to counter sue

that is certainly your right

how much is this gonna hurt a lot

considering how much you're charging us council

could you possibly be more specific over $1 million

Walter I thought I'd hear from you

sir you can't be in here

Hazel it's fine it's fine you organized this

got the others to join you

oh yes it is unfortunate what with your

record sales and all you couldn't

stomach that we overtook you so you cooked this up

cooked up what

you're the ones who failed to protect themselves

it's always been a competition between us but never

backhanded never sneaky like this

we're businessmen Walter we're businessmen law

is the law a patent

is a patent no matter who originally designed whatever

I'm not a lawyer

Walter but I'm almost certain that simple

negligence does not shield a company

from breaking the law

we built better machines we're an honest company

we're gonna fight this thought you would oh Walter

lawyers can be very expensive

have a good trip back

here's to breaking the law we haven't broken any laws

I mean the whiskey

this is my fault

no no it's not this was a collective lapse

if we fight this we'll lose

well

none of the scenarios

I've been working on are very pleasant which are

if we fight and lose it'll be $300,000 300,000

yeah and then the settlement

which probably means bankruptcy

uh if we fight and win

it's still $300,000 to the lawyers

and then we sit and wait

for the rest of the patent suits to tumble in

I'll pick it apart suit by suit paying out uh

bankruptcy

probably

if there's any way to hang on it'll mean layoffs losing

entire production lines

and most likely closing the doors

God damn

back to the shed no this is my fault I won't disgrace

your name fire me and save the company

art and I put you under a lot of pressure and we sure as hell aren't now letting you face this

alone

yeah

this is Harley Davidson

and if it go down it'll be as Harley Davidson

this is my fault

I did

I'll quit the company

go to the newspaper sir

harm Walter they had

nothing to do with this this is me my my hey

come here

I just wanted to make motorcycles

that's all

you're a good man

you're a good man

I told the lawyers to settle

pay him out and get it behind us you did what

what does this mean for us

it means we have nothing Bill why would you do that
