Oldest Harley-Davidson dealership in Wisconsin kickstarts anniversary celebrations

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- The oldest Harley-Davidson dealership in Wisconsin kickstarted the 120th anniversary celebration a day ahead of the four-day festival.

Uke's Harley-Davidson dealership in Kenosha has been around for decades, this year making their 93rd year in business. This makes them one of the oldest dealerships in the country and the oldest in Wisconsin.

"There's nothing like riding a motorcycle, nothing in this world," said Keith Ulicki, owner of Uke's Harley-Davidson dealership.

Harley-Davidson bikes is all Ulicki knows. His father Frank Ulicki bought the dealership in the 1930's and it's been a family business ever since.

"My mother and father never drove a car, we never had a family car, they only rode motorcycles," said Ulicki.

On Wednesday, Ulicki invited a number of riders to his dealership to kick off the 120th Harley-Davidson anniversary.

Ulicki's dealership is the last stop for riders before they make their way to Milwaukee. He said he's welcoming anywhere between 500 to 5,000 riders who are a part of the six rides across the country.

Riders can expect demo rides, food, music and more from July 12 through July 16.
