115th Anniversary of Harley-Davidson

115th Year Celebration Harley-Davidson - Milwaukee, WI

It is amazing how one is to preserve a name and brand for 115 years. Harley-Davidson has achieved that benchmark with many years of success, even during several trying times. It was amazing to be part of such a celebration. We met travelers from all over the world, including China, Mexico, Great Britain, Guam, Germany, and France. The mix was over 50% international travelers vs. American travelers. Why is that? We were provided a behind-the-scenes tour through the Harley-Davidson Museum and were let into the actual archives of Harley-Davidson. We received some of the best hospitality by Harley-Davidson as we walked the property with the Born Free folks, while displaying some of their top picks at this year’s celebration, sponsored by Sailor Jerry Rum. The crew of Grease Inc. and Garage71 were set up next to the main stage with Illconduct Stunt Team, an all Harley-Davidson world class dare devil thrill team. Milwaukee, itself, was a great time. We hung out with special guests and attendees of Sailor Jerry, Cheap Thrill’s Oliver Peck, Jessie James Dupree, and so many more! We got to see Reverend Horton Heat and the Supersuckers on the Main Stage, while enjoying some good rum and Rocky Patel cigars after hours. Big shout out to Dump Truck for his gracious compliments, as we look forward to returning for years to come at Harley-Davidson. Congratulations on 115 years. May you achieve many more decades of success.
