HD Milwaukee question....need advice
all: i need advice...
im heading to milwaukee for a business trip next week (monday am-friday am) and i want to squeeze some hd factory, museum stuff in. id also love to go to the hq.
my problem....ill have "free time" from work around 530pm each night....so, mornings an afternoons are not an option to visit hd.
id like to see as much as posible related to hd.ive been to york plant a bunch of times (grew up in lancaster) but, ive never been to milwaukee. it looks like all the hd stuff is spread out all over the city. can anyone reccomend what i should see/ do while there? i just dont want to miss out on something.
i also read there is a bike night a the museum on friday?..true? whats that like?
also any good place to eat there to?

I've been to the main museum (near downtown milwaukee). It also has a bar/restaurant that is open in the evenings. Good food and great service. The gift shop may also stay open after 5. I can't remember.
Also, go to the HD website for the museum because they're are hosted events that are scheduled. (concerts and whatnot).
I'll be there later this month...

The Museum is very cool and worth the effort to get there. Enjoy.

Thursday night is bike night at the Museum. I think it and the gift shop stay open till 8 P.M.
The Iron Horse Inn about a block south on 6th street has bike night the same night with most riders going there after the Museum closes. The hotel is very pricey but has a very nice patio bar that really isn't all that expensive with good food and nice scenery.

P.S. it took me 7 hours when I went thru the museum, Born to be wild exhibit, gift shop, and bar, don't think 2 hours is near enough time.

Was in Milwaukee on business last December and stopped by the museum for a few hours on our way into downtown. Had a metric riding colleague with me. We both loved it. Well worth the time spent. Great venue and exhibits.
