110th Anniversary Look Back

Do any of you recall seeing this Kegel advertisement for our Harrison location? #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest #365daysofkegelhd

Here's a newspaper ad from June 1924, back when we sold motorcycles and bicycles side by side... much like we are again! #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest #365daysofkegelhd

Today we share of the passing of Grandpa Joe, as reported here in the Rockford Morning Star, who passed on April 14, 1947 in home, of a heart attack at the age of 57.

Here we have a throwback photo of Bob, at Auburn St, on a classic bike that one of our current Kegel regulars still has to this day! #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest #365daysofkegelhd

For today's #365daysofkegelhd we share an August 1928 Rockford Morning Star write-up on the new 1929 models!

In previous #365daysofkegelhd posts we've mentioned various Kegel family members attending Harley-Davidson School - here we have a picture (which currently can be viewed on our history walls in the hallway towards the Service Department!) of Joe and Julius with other classmates outside the 1929 H-D® school! #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest

Keeping in line with yesterday's #365daysofkegelhd 1929 post, here's an ad from August 1928 that ran in local area newspapers advertising the new 1929 models! #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest

Not entirely sure when this was from, but we found it in our archives! Do any of you remember receiving your parts or smaller merchandise in these old skool paper bags?? #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest #365daysofkegelhd

For today's #365daysofkegelhd we have former employees Curt and Suzie modeling some H-D® leathers! While we don't carry those exact styles anymore... stop on in and we'll get ya fitted in 1 of the new styles! #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest

Today we share a fun photo of Bob's brother Harold (who ran took over the bicycle end of the business) at one of the annual dealer shows that have sadly become a thing of the past in recent years. #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest #365daysofkegelhd
