Harley-Davidson’s 106th Birthday
Bruce Rossmeyer’s Harley-Davidson is hosting the “Lost Weekend Run,” a celebratory motorcycle ride starting from three South Florida dealership locations – Sunrise, Fort Lauderdale and Pompano – to the Holiday Isle Beach Resort and Marina, the Islamorada Hotel, in Islamorada, FL from August 21-24, 2009 to celebrate Harley-Davidson’s 106th Anniversary.
What better way to celebrate more than a century of success and hogs than a leisure ride across South Florida and a weekend packed full of entertainment? Harley-Davidson has managed to remain a staple in the American culture and one of the world’s most recognized brands by offering extraordinary motorcycles, accessories and gear for every Harley enthusiast.
And now, with the 106th Anniversary approaching, this ride is a special way for Bruce Rossmeyer’s Harley-Davidson to say congratulations to the brand and a big ‘thank you’ to their unwavering customers with a weekend of sun, fun and Harleys!
Riders will have three opportunities to convene at a South Florida Bruce Rossmeyer’s Harley-Davidson dealership to join in the special ride to the keys. All organized rides will be led by a Bruce Rossmeyer’s Harley-Davidson member and reserved motorcycle parking will be available at the hotel.
