The "Meter Maids" lead the way through downtown York, PA during the
annual "Bike Night" parade.
District 98 and Local 175 members were highly visible at Harley-Davidson’s 24th Open House in York, PA, where gloomy weather was not enough to prevent thousands of riders and enthusiasts from turning out for the annual event.
Nearly 2,500 members of Local 175 are employed at Harley’s York, PA, manufacturing facility, where skilled craftsmen and women build, assemble and ship the company’s legendary motorcycles to dealerships around the world.

Local 175 members greeted the public at the factory entrance while District 98 representatives raffled chances for a one-of-a-kind 2009 FXCWC Rocker C motorcycle. A special kid’s tent provided IAM balloons and a motorcycle for photos.
“This is a great event,” said District 98 DBR Tom Boger. “In one weekend we’re able to reach out and let the public know that the Great American Motorcycle is made with union pride, by union members.”
The centerpiece of the weekend is the “Bike Night” parade where nearly a thousand motorcycles rumbled through historic York while spectators lined both sides of the street.
Tickets for the Rocker C as well as the IAM Harley t-shirts can be purchased through District 98’s website http://www.iamawdl98.org or by calling 1-800-434-6720.
