110th Anniversary Look Back

Check out this bike - believed to be an original 1914 Harley-Davidson - we once had on display years ago in the diner! Are you joining us for our Poker Run today? Come early & grab some breakfast from the diner before you head out - they open at 7am, Poker Run starts at 9:30am! #kegel365 #365daysofkegelhd #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest

In a previous #365dayofkegelhd post we shared an article about Kegel regular & infamous Motor Maid Ethel Voy. Today we share a photo spread she put together for the Rockford Labor News in 1995, covering the 22nd Annual Old Motorcycle Riders Reunion titled "Through A Lot Of Years On Two Wheels" - do you recognize any of these folks?

Today we share this classic photo of Julius on one of his many travels, with a friend, from 1962 in Dodge City, Kansas! #365daysofkegelhd #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest

Check out this newspaper ad from August 1929, advertising the New 1930 Big Twin! #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest #365daysofkegelhd

Check out this awesome aerial shot we found of the Harrison location, guessing probably late 90s/early 2000s - the top still looks like an arrow, pointed North towards Milwaukee! #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest #365daysofkegelhd

Today we share this newspaper clipping we found, likely from the late 90s, titled "Hog heaven: Bikers and burger fans can refuel deliciously at Kegel's Diner"

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

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

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

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
