110th Anniversary Look Back

Recognize any of these folks from our HOG chapter that participated in the local Anything That Floats annual raft race back in the late 80s/early 90s? Definitely looks like it was a fun time! #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest #365daysofkegelHD

Today for #365daysofKegelHD is a fun little timeline that Rockford Register Star posted in a November 2000 issue! #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest

Remember this full-page ad/article for #kegelhd that ran in the May 2000 edition of Q98.5's American Country Magazine? Did anyone attend the advertised MGD Hogfest at Davis Park that month? #kegel365 #harleydavidson #365daysofkegelhd #worldsoldest

As you may have picked up, we used to do an annual MDA poker run back in the day. In 1982 we were awarded a certificate for being an Outstanding Supporter for the 1982 Bikers Fight Muscular Dystrophy Campaign! Were you part of that with us? #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest #365daysofkegelhd

Another throwback before the showroom addition, when we sold bikes by the diner and had rentals available! #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest #365daysofkegelhd

If you think you're getting too old to ride, just remember Julius Kegel was taking long jaunts on his bike well into his 80s!

Today's #365daysofkegelhd can actually been seen at local dining spot The Olympic Tavern as it is currently hanging up in the restaurant and was brought to our attention by Zak there.

Today we share an article from September 1923 that talks about Julius taking over the Freeport shop after Joe branched the family business out to Rockford!
