The Tomahawk Fall Ride is underway in the north and many of the 25,000 riders were looking for shelter in the storm.

For many Harley Davidson riders, touring a plant is more than just a diversion on a rainy Saturday, its a history lesson and a shopping tour.

Harley's new Kapaem Road plant in Tomahawk has only been open for a few months, and early reviews from the tour give it high marks.

This is the third plant in the Tomahawk area. It will specialize in parts and accessories, primarily custom painting and sidecars.

For many visitors, checking out how the company works just makes them happier customers.
