Harley-Davidson's financing
business is seeking nearly $6.3
million from the owner of
dealerships in Janesville and
New Berlin, alleging check and
inventory fraud and breach of
contract. In addition, court
records also show the owners of
Iron Town Harley-Davidson in
New Berlin (formerly known as
Hal's H-D) plan to sell the store
to focus on its Broadtracker
Harley-Davidson, Janesville
dealership.
Initially established in Peoria, Il. in
1990, Bob Wiebler has sold his
Quad-Cities Harley-Davidson
business (Davenport, IA) to Michael
McGrath - part of a family that owns
and operates numerous high-profile
dealerships throughout Illinois and
Iowa, including Lexus of Chicago,
Honda of Chicago, Acura of Chicago,
Lexus of Westmont, Ford Hyundai of
Cedar Rapids, and many more.
McGrath also owns and operates
McGrath Harley-Davidson in
Dubuque, McGrath Hawkeye Harley-
Davidson in Coralville and McGrath
Powersports of Cedar Rapids. It has
been renamed McGrath Quad City
Harley-Davidson and will remain at
the current location.

and position the iconic brand
for continued success in the
Chicago metropolitan area,"
with Windy City CEO Ozzie
Giglio heading up the combined
group. The deal includes the

Said to pair "modern touring

bike undergoes a meticulous paint
process that takes nearly 30 hours to
complete and is finished by hand."

percent louder than the stock audio
system offered on the 2019
Roadmaster. The PowerBand Audio
Plus system features an enhanced
nine-band dynamic equalizer that
auto-adjusts specific frequencies to
the optimal level at different vehicle
speeds to compensate for road, wind
and engine noise to deliver crystal
clear sound quality in every riding
condition."

passenger armrests, spacious billet
aluminum rider and passenger
floorboards, a premium touring
