110th Anniversary Look Back

Got any of that H-D® Buffin' Stuff as advertised in our April 2001 issue of Kegel Motorcycle News?? #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest #365daysofkegelhd

Well #kegel365 readers, today's is #265, meaning we are approaching the final 100 days of this series! To commemorate today we are sharing a letter and certificate we received from The Motor Company in June of 2012, congratulating us on a 100 year milestone!

For today's #365daysofkegelhd throwback we share this photo, taken outside our Auburn St. location, of Kegel customer Denny Saltow and not 1, not 2, not 3, but FOUR of his bikes! What's the most some of you have had at once? #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest

Check out this sketched brochure that artist Ray Schulz mocked up for us long ago! #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest #365daysofkegelhd

Here's a throwback article that was published in the Rockford Register Star during our Auburn St. years of when Rock River HOG helped a local child in need!

This photo, featuring Grandpa Joe standing behind a happy customer who just bought a bike, was taken outside one of our Madison St. locations and is believed to have been sent to us by 1 of the smiling children in the sidecar! #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest #365daysofkegelhd

At one point we had an official publication called Kegel Motorcycle News and in our archives we found the April 2001 issue! For today's #365daysofkegelhd we thought we'd share the first article and pages!

While not exclusively #kegelhd, another fun item we found in our archives is this awesome H-D pop-up book! While it might not be in the best condition, it's still a pretty neat piece of Harley history! Wanna see it in person? Stop by the marketing office during normal business hours - we'll be happy to show it to you! #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest #365daysofkegelhd

Today for #365daysofkegelhd we share a sweet memorial written by Mel Kegel for Kegel Krew employee Dave Olson who unexpectedly passed away a few years back. Perhaps some of you remember him?

Here we have a customer who was "patched" by some of our Kegel Krew some time ago! #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest #365daysofkegelhd
