A very nice HD Dealer in Wisco is Uke's in Kenosha,Just south of Milwaukee right off I-94....Worth a stop....and of course Don't forget the Brat Stop..Look it up!!!! The Brat stop is a favorite for us Flatlanders in Illinois who need that last Brat before we come back to the real world!!! LOL.... o~`o
Guess i should put my 2 cents in about the museum....Personally i wasn't all that impressed but thats just me...the guys i was with enjoyed it very much,I just thought for some reason HD could of done better,It just din't have the WOW factor for me.I did enjoy the engine section and the cross cut motor so i could get a real look at how it ticks and parts i will soon need to replace..LOL....Anyway it is worth checking out BUT its not cheap and not much for the kids (not much hands on) and maybe not for the O'lady.Also I talked to Road Ranger (HDForum member) about this and he said his family enjoyed it very much...each to his own!!!I went durring the week and the weekends can fill up so plan accordingly...So if you want to take it all in and take your time you might send the kids and others to the Zoo....ALSO the gift shop has mostly MUSEUM apparel.... SO if you or others want official HD Garb...GO to a HD dealer!!!!! Just my
FWIW.... Tim... o~`o

I plan to see the museum this year! Can't wait.
Big tip for you non spellers:
Download Google Chrome (the browser). Not only is it faster, it has auto complete, auto search, and a built in spell checker! And it's not a push a button type spell checker either. It underlines misspelled words while you type; like MS Word or whatever. Very handy and suddenly you'll look like you have a 120 IQ!
Pretty awesome as far as browsers go. Completely integrated with Google Maps too.

Went to the museum when I was up for the 105th. Well worth the trip plan on seeing it again during the 110th.

Live 40 minutes north of the museum and go there all the time. Every Thursday is Bike Night. Anyway, I've toured the museum 4 times now. Each time I learn more and see more. One time I went with the local HD dealership and took the VIP tour. We had a tour guide that was a retired Harley design engineer and told us hundreds of little facts about all kinds of stuff he worked on when he was designing the bikes. Also included in the VIP tour was a chance to see the "archives" where they keep all the bikes that aren't on display.

I might be riding out to the museum this fall. So what is the Iron Horse, and do you have to take a shuttle to the tour or can you ride there? I will check on all this before I leave, but thought I would ask as long it was brought up.

I have the pics on Facebook and I'll try to post a link to my folder.
