1991 Harley Davidson FXR – Similar to Dave’s Million mile bike.
Milwaukee, WI. The law firm of Hupy & Abraham, S.C. announced party scheduled for Saturday, April 4 to welcome former Wisconsin State Senator Dave Zien back to Wisconsin as he becomes the first person to ride one million miles on the same Harley-Davidson motorcycle. The feat will earn him a world record from the Iron Butt Association, an international group that oversees and governs safe, long-distance motorcycle riding challenges.
The celebration will take place at Hal’s Harley-Davidson and Buell, 1925 S. Moreland Road, New Berlin, Wisconsin.
"We are excited to see the culmination of Dave's journey next month," said attorney Hupy. "It will be a monumental occasion when he caps the million mile mark in Wisconsin."
The program starts at noon, but plan on getting there a little early. If all goes as planned, Dave Zien will ride into Hal’s parking lot as his odometer turns to all zeroes on April 4.
Zien will be joined by John "Rogue" Herlihy, a Sturgis Freedom Fighter Hall of Fame member, Bruce Arnold, an Iron Butt Bun Burner 4500 Trifecta title holder, and Tony Sanfelipo, Sturgis Freedom Fighter Hall of Fame member, founder of ABATE of Wisconsin and 16-year employee of Hupy & Abraham, SC, as he travels the more than 1,400 miles from Melbourne, Fla. to Milwaukee, WI. Dozens of Wisconsin Patriot Guard riders will also escort Zien on a route lined with over 100 American flags as he completes the final leg of his journey.
The landing party is free and open to the public.
