Harley Davidson motorcycles will be turning 115 this year and the company likes to mark this occasion every 5 years with commemorative bikes and festivities. This year’s party will take place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Labor Day weekend from August 29 to September 2nd.

That weekend will be chock full of events including a moto carnival serving up high wire motorcycle thrill shows, beach racing for the first time in 100 years, factory tours, local rides, and even the police are taking part in a police vs civilian skills competition. At the epicentre of these events is the Harley-Davidson Museum with surrounding venues talking part as well.

Even before Labor Day weekend, Harley Davidson will be hosting an anniversary party in Prague from July 5 to July 8. They’re already expecting to see around 100,000 participants make their way to Prague from all over Europe.

Of course what’s an anniversary without commemorative motorcycles? Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like the Roadster has made it onto the list which consists of the Forty-Eight, Breakout, Fat Boy, Heritage Classic, Street Glide and a few other touring cruisers. Shame we won’t be seeing a Roadster with matte denim blue color scheme, a blue and black two-tone aesthetic, and a 115th anniversary eagle.

Looking forward to seeing some special anniversary editions across their stable. Don't know why the decided not to showcase the Roadster at this event, especially with the amount of visitors they are expecting to see.

I won't be anywhere near Wisconsin, but so take plenty of pictures if you are going. Would have been nice to see the beach races because there's no doubt some bikes will be laid down in the process with all the sand and poor traction.
