Understanding the Love Affair With Harley-Davidson Motorcycles

Folks celebrate birthdays and anniversaries all the time.

But perhaps no anniversaries, at least none that this Wisconsinite is aware of, are as anticipated, draw as big a crowd and are absolute "can't-miss" events as Harley-Davidson anniversaries.

House of Harley-Davidson owner John Schaller, who this week is throwing a party at his store on Layton Avenue in Greenfield for 250,000 of his closest friends, told Patch about the essence of Harley-Davidson, what it means to own one and why people flock to Milwaukee every five years to honor the company's rich history.

Check out the video and other videos about the House of Harley's 110th Harley-Davidson anniversary party below.
