H-D Rings NYSE Closing Bell
H-D rings NYSE closing bell
Instead of the traditional closing bell, Harley-Davidson president and chief executive officer Jim Ziemer signaled the close of the days trading by revving the engine of a new 2009 VRSCF V-Rod Muscle from the main stage of the Harley Owners Groups 25th anniversary celebrations in Milwaukee, Wis.
Thousands of HOG members and Harley-Davidson executives such as senior vice president and chief styling officer Willie G. Davidson counted down before Ziemer twisted the V-Rod Muscles throttle at precisely 4 pm ET. On a pair of side stages, other 2009 models joined in with their engines revving and horns honking while those in attendance cheered them on.
The anniversary celebrations continue through until Aug. 31 around the Milwaukee lakefront area, highlighted by performances by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, the Foo Fighters, Daughtry and dozens of other acts.
