I cant say for sure but I sure hope so also. Sort of the same each year but I always enjoy a trip there and a nice ride for me. Lets hope with the economy getting better they can do thins again. Need another HOG pin

Too early to know. Last year open house was cancelled. You can still do factory tours during the week.

I went in 2009 and didn't realize that it may have been the last year. I enjoyed it along with all the activities going on that week.

They havent nailed down plans yet, they are reconfiguring the plant and dont know if it will be done on time. If it does happen the tentative dates are Sept. 29 - Oct 1.
