I hadn’t been hiking on Schweitzer since 1979. Not much has changed. That’s how it is with the physical world. It outlasts all of us. We’re just a blip in time. Sure we think we’re forever, but despite all the hosannas, even Michael Jackson’s music will soon be forgotten. It’s not human nature…we’re talking Mother [...]

In honor of Theodore Seuss Geisel, or “Dr. Seuss“, who would be 105 today I offer up what can only be described as a motorcycle for the people of Seussville!
Mr. Geisel was an American writer and cartoonist, most widely known for his children’s books written under his pen name. He published over 60 children’s books, [...]

The main set of 105th Celebration events are over – now what? First off a shout-out to Harley. They know how to throw a party and no one serves as a better host than the people of Milwaukee. To put on an event of the 105th size, takes commitment, organization, time, resources and of course, a [...]

This is our 3rd day in Milwaukee and it has me in a bit of a head spin and this isn’t my first biker event!
There’s so much to see and do that even the best laid plans get changed or thrown away. To top it off, there are so many people and the venues are [...]

On our 2nd day in Milwaukee (Friday, Aug 29th) and the F-U-N continues in this largely two-wheelin’ town.
We headed out first thing to visit the Pilgrim Road Powertrain operations which is home of the “Big Twin“. They produce the Touring, Softail and Dyna engines and transmissions for the final assembly plant in York, Pennsylvania and [...]

The Club H.O.G. 25th celebration started Thursday, August 28th at Miller Park Stadium (home of the Milwaukee Brewers). Free for H.O.G. members the day-long celebration was prior to the start of the 105th Anniversary event.
We departed about 9:30am to get a jump on the day and drove the twenty minutes which came to an abrupt [...]

It was a bit of a slow morning today after dinner and drinks at the Mermaid pub near the AmericInn in Mounds View, MN. What with the Splash Bay adventure (indoor 100′ waterslide) an all…
We woke up to find the roads all wet from a series of thunder showers that blew through the region overnight. [...]

The previous day could be best summarized as bugs, wind and heat!
Hoping for less wind than yesterday’s Montana adventure we got up early. Actually, one of the guys in the posse (and you won’t believe this), wakes up minutes prior to the time of the alarm! As if he has some subconscious alarm clock telling [...]

I got up early and went outside to stretch my legs for a bit. It’s nice outside, mid-70’s, which makes it a decent temperature for riding.
We departed Havre, MT about 8:30am on the 3rd day. For reference day #3 was Monday, August 25th. We lost an hour of sleep due to the mountain time [...]

It showed up in my inbox. I was randomly selected by the “Harley Research Team” to participate in an online survey.
As a registered ticket holder for the Harley-Davidson 105th Anniversary event, I was unique (like the other 100K+ people attending) and “got” to take a survey to help Harley plan for my stay. Well isn’t [...]
