We had some great weather this last week to get some riding in. A special thanks to everybody that could make it out for the Polar Plunge. We have another week full of events, I hope that most of you are able to make it to the meeting in person this week and to the dinner rides. Since it is a new month, don’t forget to stop in and give Amber your mileage for the year. Even 50 miles a month makes a big difference.

An update from National HOG:
Hello from the Harley-Davidson Museum!

The Harley-Davidson Museum campus is now open. A trip to Milwaukee may not be in the cards right now for some, so we are bringing our collection, our stories and our expertise to you. A visit to the world’s only Harley-Davidson Museum is just a few clicks away. Each Thursday, we are delivering a Virtual Gallery Talk at 7PM CDT. The topics vary from the beginning of this iconic company to recent acquisitions to our Engines 101 class. Each Virtual Gallery Talk is 30-45 minutes of quality time with enthusiasts from around the world.

This week’s Gallery Talk will be featuring the History of the Harley Owners Group and an interview with H.O.G Regional Manager Bruce Motta. Click here for a full schedule of Virtual Gallery Talk topics and sign-up page. 

Virtual Gallery Talks are also available for private group sessions (call 414-287-2789 for information). In the meantime, I hope to “see” you some Thursday night! Feel free to share this with your chapter members.

If you have any questions, you can reach out to me directly @ (414) 287-2704


Thanks everybody and I hope to see you this week at the dealership or on some of the rides!
