I'm taking my kids to the Milwaukee Zoo in a few days and it just so happens that a slightly modified route will take me through East Troy. That said, I just wanted to see if any of you have been to the HQ and ask if it's worth stopping by. Do they offer any sort of tour, or have a museum, gift shop, etc.? | ||

You are in for a treat. Yes, they offer tours of the assembly line. I cannot describe the feeling the first time I went. The GF was not happy about me buying another Buell until she saw the factory. She had a lot of fun and I was just floored by the dedication of the employees and how interested they were in what I rode. Frank | ||

Make sure and get a T-shirt or two at the Company Store at the Factory too. Very cool place. Z | ||

I believe the gift shop is only open one day a week. Tours are by reservation - but are WELL WORTH IT! Seriously, call to ask about the tours and gift shop hours. | ||

Looks like the factory tour is a no go. I just looked online and found out that kids 12 and under arn't allowed if the line is moving. I guess my four month old will have to wait 12 years to see the plant. Bummer! I'm gonna call about the factory store tomorrow. | ||

Thursday for the factory store. Let me know if you need someone to babysit the 4 month old while you do the tour. Be sure to call ahead to make sure there will be tours on the day you are there. Call 262-642-2020 and ask for Donna. Semper Fi, Court P.S. - that Thursday is from memory . . be sure to ask. | ||

Semper, if I was you, I'd take Court up on the babysitting offer and take the tour. I've seen the place many times and it's still fun every time I visit it. What part of the Chicago area are you from? | ||

Thanks for the number; I just got off the phone with her. As it turns out, the company store is only open on Wednesday from 8:30 to 12:30... a day late and dollar short.  |
