Harley 105th Anniversary

Every five years Harley-Davidson has a big anniversary celebration here in
Milwaukee. This weekend is the 105th year for the company. While I don't
get involved in the Harley activities around town, it's impossible to avoid
the presence of the thousands of motorcycles circulating around throughout
the city.

As I took my dog out at 10:30 last night I listened to the rumble of the
engines. It reminded me of a group of workers hammering on a roof. The
sounds of motorcycles going East and West along Blue mound Road blended with
those going North and South along Highway 45. As I listened the engines
seemed to synchronize into one low rumble. In the truest sense of the
phrase: this is a city-wide celebration.
