Harley-Davidson Museum celebrates Halloween

To celebrate Halloween, the Harley-Davidson Museum™ has transformed the site's two large, orange hoppers into ghoulish, goblin faces. Everyone is welcome to stop by the Museum to see the hoppers "in costume," located at the north and south ends of 5th Street.

Through Nov. 16, everyone who purchases an adult admission ticket to the Museum will also receive a special gift, "The 100 Years of Harley-Davidson" book by Willie G. Davidson, while supplies last. The gift is the Museum's way of saying "Thanks, Milwaukee!" for being Harley-Davidson's home for 105 years.

Visit www.h-dmuseum.com for complete details about "Thanks, Milwaukee!" and the Harley-Davidson Museum.

The Club Run

The Club Run:

A “run” is when members of the club get together and ride as a group. Runs occur all the time and for many different reasons, but they are always club sanctioned and for a specific purpose. A run is the club’s fundamental reason for existing – this is where the guys get together, take risks, get rowdy and daring on the road, and enjoy all the freedom of mobility. Basically, it’s where all the fun happens. Runs can be festive and celebratory or they can be for official club business where the stakes are often dangerous and high. But no matter the reason, patch-holders are always down.

Unless it’s for an immediate club emergency, be it personal or business, runs take a great deal of planning. The right supplies are gathered, and the bikes are cleaned. Quite often a crash truck will either trail or precede the bikes. The truck will carry spare parts in case of breakdowns, sleeping bags, beer, food, etc.

In sticking with the system of club hierarchy, members ride in a specific formation. Clay, SAMCRO President rides at the front of the formation. Jax, SAMCRO V-P, and Bobby, Secretary-Treasurer ride two abreast behind him, and so on and so forth down the chain. If Clay is not present, Jax will take the forward slot.

When the club rides together, the magnitude of their dynamic force is truly felt – from the collective roar of their bikes, to the power of their unity. It’s on these runs that no member of SOA need be reminded of how truly awesome it is to be a brother.
