110th Anniversary Look Back

Here's an article from December 1984 that appeared in the Rockford Labor News showcasing one of our early Customer Appreciation parties at the Auburn St location! As you may have heard, in honor of our 110th Anniversary we are bringing the party back this year - your bike raffle ticket is your entry, have you stopped in and gotten yours yet? #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest #365DaysofKegelHD #bikeraffle #110anniversary

Here's a little known Kegel fact: Grandpa Joe and his brother Julius (who at one time also worked at the shop in Freeport) were not only motorcycle enthusiasts but also big into racing so it only made sense that the boys would race motorcycles! #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest #365DaysofKegelHD

Today we're combining #NationalTriviaDay with #365DaysofKegelHD because did you know that Kegel Harley-Davidson has been owned and operated by FOUR generations of Kegels?

For today's #365DaysofKegelHD we share this classic New Year's newspaper advertisement from our years on Auburn St in Rockford (1975-1996)! While our number & address may have changed, we most definitely will take reservations for the new '22s coming at the end of the month! #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest

Continuing with #365DaysofKegelHD in on honor of our 110th year...

2022 marks the 110th Anniversary of Kegel Harley-Davidson as the World's Oldest Family-Owned Dealership! In honor of such a monumental occasion, we invite you to join us daily as we share photos and other such relics from our 110 years of history. Today's post is an official letter from Harley-Davidson to Robert Kegel in 1996. #kegelHD #110years #110thanniversary #kegel365 #worldsoldest
