MILWAUKEE - Harley riders coming to Milwaukee for the 105th anniversary…need a place to stay.
Some aren't staying in a hotel.
TODAY’S TMJ4’s Melanie Stout caught up with some Harley campers.
The campsites are starting to fill up, and Tuesday, Melanie Stout met one couple that came all the way from Oregon for the big celebration.
“Everybody calls me Flag Man,” Ray Jordan said.
Ray and Jeannie Jordan put 105 flags on their bike for the 105th anniversary Harley-Davidson celebration. Ray, a Vietnam vet, wants to remind people flags are not seasonal.

“It’s a tribute to all the troops. We need to recognize that they're there all the time whether there's a war or not,” Ray said.
The Jordan’s have a lot of fun with their flags knowing it puts smiles on faces. They love Harley-Davidson and the people in Milwaukee.
“Oh it’s a great city. The people are friendly. You won't find a better home for Harley,” the Jordans said.
They were here five years ago with 100 flags. Of course, they had to add five more this year. Jeannie admits it is a challenge getting on.
“We carry some extra flags in case I step on one when I’m getting off,” Jeannie Jordan said.
Melanie Stout: “Have you stepped on one?”
“Oh yeah,” Jeannie said.
You'll likely see the Jordan’s cruising Milwaukee and if you do, be sure and give them a wave.
