SHAWANO, Wis. (AP) -- A remade Harley-Davidson motorcycle might be easy to spot in the parade of thousands of riders in Milwaukee this weekend for the company's 105th anniversary celebration.
Steve "Doc" Hopkins has put together a one-of-a-kind bike at his Harley dealership in Bonduel for the 105th anniversary.
In just 17 days, Hopkins turned four rebuilt 1950s flathead engines and spare Harley parts into a bike that seats five. A kick-start fires all four engines that have been linked and synced together.
And just for effect, there's a beer keg "Doc" found at a Shawano flea market attached to the back of the motorcycle.
Hopkins plans to ride in Saturday's anniversary parade to Milwaukee's lakefront.
