About 1,200 people will be in HOG heaven June 18-20 during the 32nd Annual Missouri Harley-Davidson Owners Group Rally in Springfield.
Not only will they be riding their motorcycles around the city, the people who participate in the rally will enjoy the camaraderie of others who ride Harley-Davidson motorcycles, said James Roe, marketing coordinator for the Missouri HOG Rally.
