Day 12 7/18 - A day of Harleys and Legos



Alex and Leroy took an early morning trip to the Kansas City Harley Davidson Vehicle and Power Train Operations. 
Unfortunately we were not able to get in until the 11:00 am tour. By that time the workers were off to lunch. Still it was an interesting tour. We were able to see the lines, though not nearly as close up as at the Sierra Bullet Company.  Something  about OSHA and all.

They were building models for delivery all over the world. They must comply with each country’s vehicle safety requirements,  turn signal light configuration here, max decibel level there.  Each bike is painted according to the customers specs. Every bike on the line had already been sold and contained a pedigree which included the buyer, delivery country, configuration, etc.

We did get to sit on a couple of the Harleys but alas, no samples though…
















An afternoon trip to Lego Land Kansas City for Rosalie, Susan and Leroy.  Rosalie’s intro to the wonderful world of Legos.




Cup cake lessons. Who is teaching whom???
