110th Anniversary Look Back

Today we share some familiar faces - Allen and Katrina - working the Kegel H-D tent at a Rockford City First event not too long ago! Kegel employee Chrissy also made a splash in the dunk tank! #365daysofkegelhd #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest

Every year the motor company puts out an annual report to the dealerships. In 2001 the theme was Generations and the Kegel family of course was mentioned.

Keeping in line with yesterday's post, today we share a photo of Bob (right) with a classmate of his at the Harley-Davidson School in 1956! #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest #365daysofkegelhd

As previously mentioned, back in the day employees (especially techs) would go to Harley-Davidson School for training. Here we have a photo of Bob's son Joe (4th row, all the way to the right) with his class! #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest #365daysofkegelhd

We found some more awesome concept art for the Kegel's Diner sign of yesteryear, courtesy of the Jack Pine Company! #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest #365daysofkegelhd

For our old website we'd often post photos of employees posed with bikes or gear to promote said items and some fun facts about them. Here we have Deano, who was part of the Kegel racing team and was also a service tech, with a few of the racing bikes!

In a previous post, we shared about the Anything That Floats float some of our HOG members rode in the annual competition - recently we came across this photo of them all posed with the float itself! #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest #365daysofkegelhd

Today we're Throwin' It Back to Auburn Street again, with a picture of some of the Kegel family! From Left to Right we have Kegel sister Carole, father Bob, Mary (Joe's wife), brother Paul, brother Joe, brother Karl and Karl's wife Mel. #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest #365daysofkegelhd

Today for #365daysofkegelhd we share this classic ad that ran in local newspapers back in October 1923! While the date may have changed - the sentiment has not! Stop on in for a deal on a used motorcycle or get some First Class repair work done on your current ride! #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest

Years ago, the service department here at the Harrison location looked somewhat different than how it looks today!
