Saturday August 13


The AM report brought to you by Harley Davidson.

We are here live in Milwaukee, WI. reporting from the Harley-Davidson Museum. Yesterday we took the "Steel-Toe" tour of the Power Train plant in Menomonee Falls, WI.  Here is where they build the 6 different enigines for Harley-Davidson Motorcycles. All but the V-Rod which is built in Kansas City, Mo.
It takes 2 1/2 hours to build one engine. and they only are built on day shift at the plant. The plant runs three shifts, but, production is only on 1st shift.

After the plant tour we toured the X-collection which is a special exhibit of some of Harley's racing machines and prototypes. Here is a "V-Rod" built for Drag racing.


until next time

Ciao
Mark
