110th Anniversary Look Back

Today we share another article we found that the Rockford Register Star had printed in early 1996 about our upcoming grand opening weekend at the Harrison location!

Here's a throwback of Mark, outside the front entrance of our current location, with a Buell! Remember when we used to sell those? Who bought one? #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest #365daysofkegelhd

Check out this receipt, from March 1969, that we found in the archives! #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest #365daysofkegelhd

We found another photo of the H-D® Traveling Museum during it's visit at Kegel H-D! As mentioned in a previous post, the museum on wheels would travel around the country, making stops at various dealerships showing off it's cargo of historic memorabilia, classic H-D motorcycles, and more! Did you attend this event? What do you remember most from it? #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest #365daysofkegelhd

Today we share a late photo of Julius - in color! Those of you that have been following our #kegel365 series know, Julius was riding cross country and around the world well into his 80s (until the day he died actually!) as you're never too old to ride! #365daysofkegelhd #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest

Here is Bob Kegel, on a Harley, at Auburn Street, likely in the late 70s or early 80s! Be like Bob this weekend and enjoy your ride! #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest #365daysofkegelhd

On this day, 93 years ago, an ad ran in the local newspapers announcing our 2nd move in Rockford - up the block to 110-112 N. Madison St!

Today we share a photo of Kegel sister Carole, sharing a laugh with customer Bud Wilkins and his wife outside our Auburn St. location, likely in 1977. #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest #365daysofkegelhd

On this date 21 years ago the Rockford Register Star published this piece on Bob

Following up from yesterday's #365daysofkegelhd post, here is another piece about Bob that was published locally this week in 2001.
