110th Anniversary Look Back

In February 2002 we received a notice that our dealership had been mentioned in a German publication as the author had recently visited the area - how cool is that? Can any of you read German? #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest #365daysofKegelHD

Today's #365daysofKegelHD we jump back to Nov '86 with a blurb feat. Kegel sister Carole showing off a realistic mini H-D semi trailer truck made by Rockford's own world famous Nylint Corporation! Who got one of these for Christmas that year? #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest

Today we share a fun memory from our 12th annual MDA Poker Run that was immortalized in print: that time Mark took the 1992 Rock River poster child for muscular dystrophy Myles Craglow on a ride in a sidecar! #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest #365daysofKegelHD

Don't want to wait for the bike of your dreams? Have one customized for you instead like Robbin Tamblyn once did when H-D production was nearly 2 years behind the current demand at the time! #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest #365daysofKegelHD

Today we share 1 of many terrible accidents the Kegel family has gotten into over the years that have been published in local newspapers. Keep in mind while reading, Joe didn't pass until 1947 ?

Continuing from yesterday's #365daysofkegelHD Joe fails to rally after the 1931 hit and run crash!

Finishing up from the last few days, you can see that the end of 1931 was a bit rough for the Kegel family, however both brothers pulled through!

In a recent #365daysofKegelHD post we shared a notice about the grand opening of the Kegel Diner; today we present a version of the menu that was once used! How many of you enjoyed any of these deliciously themed burgers? #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest

Believed to be an ad from our Freeport days, Kegel brothers Joe and Julius were active members in the Freeport Motorcycle Club. While we are no longer based out of Freeport, the dealership does sponsor our local Rock River H.O.G. Chapter which is always looking for new members! #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest #365daysofKegelHD

Today #365daysofKegelHD remembers that time brother Edward - or Eddie as he's referred to here - was arrested... for speeding! Check out that fine! #kegel365 #harleydavidson #kegelhd #worldsoldest
