110th Anniversary Look Back

Today's #365daysofkegelhd was submitted to us by Mr. Tom Dean and features an awesome article that appeared in the Rockford Neighbors section of the Sept 11, 1997 issue of the Rockford Register Star all about Kegel regular and legendary Motor Maid member Ethel Voy!

Recently the @stephensoncountygenealogicalsociety asked "How did your ancestors celebrate the 4th of July in Freeport?" and shared several notable dates in their post, including how in 1920 "Motorcycle races under the direction of Joseph Kegel will be held at Taylor Park on July 4th." So now that we know how the Kegel's spent their 4th 102 years ago, how are you celebrating yours? #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest #365daysofkegelhd

On this day in 1954, it was reported in the Rockford Morning Star that Julius took off on a 900 mile ride!
