Photo Preview: Harley-Davidson Museum

By Katie DeLong

MILWAUKEE - Get ready for "hog heaven.” The new Harley-Davidson museum opens July 12th. TODAY’S TMJ4 got a sneak peek through the eyes of Journal Sentinel Photographer Tom Lynn. Click on the video link to see photos inside the new Harley museum. Here's where it all started: the very first Harley, made in 1903. In the museum, you'll see Harleys from every year the company's been in business, including brand new Harleys from 2008. There's also famous Harleys, like replicas from the movie "Easy Rider,” and one ridden by Evil Knievel, appearing to float in the air. There’s also a racing bike that set a land speed record in 1936, and a Harley that was used to deliver the U.S. Mail. If you like Harleys, you'll think the new Harley museum is a real gas.
