Harley Davidson was a famous speed roller skater from 1912. Have you seen how many medals he has on his chest? That’s impressive in any sport! Harley Davidson motorcycles were supposedly named after this man, although I can’t confirm that… Does anyone know for sure?

I don’t think so since the company Harley-Dafison was founded in 1903 by two men : William Harley and Arthur Davidson. I suppose this roller skater is really called Harley (forename) Davidson (surname).
Absolutely. It seemed unlikey when I read it. Thanks for clarifying, it serves me right for believing what I read on the internet 😉
He came from a very famous ice skating (ice speed skating) family and, as with virtually all ice skaters in his time, he started roller skating in order to be able to keeping skating after the ice melted. In his early years there were no indoor ice skating rinks.
