Hello everyone,

Who’s ready to have some fun at Great Lakes Dragway?!?

Kick stands up will be from the House of Harley at 5pm on Tuesday the 18th. This will not be a Chapter ride, we will be riding with House of Harley employees down to the Route 20 Outhouse where we will meet up with the Racine employees and Chapter members. We will then continue on the the drag strip. If we all enter as a group, there will be no admission fee for spectators.

If you can not make the ride or would prefer to come in a car, there will be a limited number of free admission passes at the House of Harley.

Once we are there, there will be no formal meeting. We’ll hang out, watch the races, and have a good time. Some of us may even run our bikes down the track. So, on that note…

If you’d like to take your bike on the track:

-$20 for as many runs as you can get in
-Full face helmet required
-Riding jacket required
-Gloves required
-Your bike must also have a belt guard (most do from the factory) and pass a safety inspection at the track

I hope you are all excited! I know I am!

Matt

With deep regrets, it necessary to postpone the first Shrek Trek.  I have found that booking hotels surrounding national holidays is a tough gig.  I don’t believe anyone should have to pay $180 for a $100 hotel room just because of a national holiday.  I do understand supply and demand, but I don’t like paying for it, nor do I believe Milwaukee HOG Chapter members should either.

The good news is, I am not giving up.  We are still going to the Headwaters of the Mississippi River….. in 2018.  I will have details before year end so we can start the planning process.  I sincerely regret any inconvenience this has caused.  Please support the Great Lakes HOG Rally in August and/or the Milwaukee Rally, Labor Day weekend.

For anyone who is going to the Suburban Milwaukee HOG Chapter Have a Heart Ride at Suburban Harley Davidson on June 10th and wants to ride in as a Chapter, please meet at the Speedway at 9091 N 76th St (Northridge outlot, north of Brown Deer Rd.) at 10 am.  KSU by 10:30.

The Group Riding Class scheduled for this Saturday, June 3rd, at Root River is on, rain or shine.  The ride MAY be cancelled due to thunderstorms but that will be decided in the morning.  If you want to attend the class and don’t want to ride, just drive your car.  You can still sign up HERE
