The Timeline Motorcycle Sturgis adventure was a big success. The bike left Doc's H-D on Saturday August 1st fully loaded with 10 people. Although the bike was trailered for parts of the trip, it was also ridden parts of the trip on each of the three days; including on Highway 29, in downtown Wall, South Dakota, on I-90, & into downtown Sturgis. Special thanks to Sturgis Harley-Davidson for allowing us to display the motorcycle in front of their dealership. Thank you to Hupy & Abraham s.c. for believing in us enough to help sponsor our Sturgis trip. We flew the "Watch for Motorcycles" flag with pride. Much appreciation to all of the individuals that helped Doc make this dream a reality, including the group of "crazy" people that accompanied Doc for the Sturgis adventure. The Sturgis trip was definitely the trip of a lifetime.

Hot news... With the help of Ron K. Stratman, arrangements have been made to display The Timeline Motorcycle at Sturgis Harley-Davidson in downtown Sturgis during the 69th Annual Rally. Located on the corner of Main Street & Junction Avenue & just across the street from the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum; Sturgis Harley-Davidson is the perfect spot to display the Timeline Motorcycle. R.K. Stratman is already working on a brand new t-shirt back design that will feature the Timeline Motorcycle & we will begin selling the t-shirts during the rally.

The fenders for the Timeline bike arrived today. See the photos below to see the classy new black & white paint job. We also have decals that will go along the top frame rail. These decals are neat classic photos of the various motorcycles from each of the eras of the engines in the Timeline motorcycle. Starting at the very front of the bike, Doc will have photos of the 4 founding fathers of Harley-Davidson, the original shed that the first Harley® was built in, & various photos of the early Harley-Davidson motorcycle. The bike will literally be a rolling Harley-Davidson® history lesson. Doc is hoping to have the motorcycle near completion by early next week. Less than 18 days til' Sturgis!
