Harley Bears

My hubby and I went to the Harley Davidson factory tour in York, PA last year.  I was really cool!  We got to see the motorcylces being assembled right on the factory line.  We each took a picture on our favorite motorcycle that were on display.

I made this layout using Harley "Tear Bear" and Tanny "Tear Bear" from FileKutz by LisaJane. You can find them in the store HERE: lk00016 and lk00017.  The title and the symbol are from the pamphlet that I saved from the place.
