110th Anniversary Look Back

Who stopped by our "Almost Home" multi-day festival on the way to the 105th Anniversary rally in Milwaukee back in 2008?

Today we go back to one of the times the Freeport Motorcycle Club (that Joe and Julius Kegel were both members of at one time) staged some thrilling races, as reported in the Freeport Journal-Standard!

Can you imagine the diner being where the main entrance currently is? In this proposed blueprint of the current building that's exactly what you see! Do you notice anything else different? #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest #365daysofkegelhd

Oh how we've come full circle, now that we have Harley-Davidson eBikes in stock! Today we have this old school ad from March 1911! #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest #365daysofkegelhd

Today we have a #throwback press release from 1999 of that time former Kegel employee and race team member Deano made history!

Today we share an article from September 1923 that talks about Julius taking over the Freeport shop after Joe branched the family business out to Rockford!

Today's #365daysofkegelhd can actually been seen at local dining spot The Olympic Tavern as it is currently hanging up in the restaurant and was brought to our attention by Zak there.

If you think you're getting too old to ride, just remember Julius Kegel was taking long jaunts on his bike well into his 80s!

Today for #365daysofkegelHD we share this throwback to our 100th anniversary Open House celebration, as covered in the April 5-6, 2012 Rockford Labor News!
