Glenn H. Curtiss built the foundation for his airplane engine fame on the knowledge and prestige he gained from building and racing motorcycles. By 1902 he and three other employees were manufacturing motorcycles under the brand name "Hercules". In 1907 in Providence Rhode Island, Curtiss won second prize at the F. A. M. Meet in the 61 cubic inch class Hill Climb.
