GERMANTOWN, WI, May 9, 2017 – To promote Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, J.W. Speaker Corporation is teaming up to break the world record for time spent circling a roundabout.
Brandon Yahr, an employee of J.W. Speaker, will try and beat the current record of 3 hours, 34 minutes while riding a Harley-Davidson Night Rod equipped with a J.W. Speaker LED headlight upgrade on Sunday, May 14th downtown Milwaukee.
The event will kick-off at 7 p.m. CT at Milwaukee’s Harley-Davidson Museum. Yahr and the Suburban Milwaukee H.O.G. chapter will ride to the 6th Street roundabout (corner of 6th & W Florida St), at which point Yahr will continue to circle in an effort to break the record, previously set by Oran Sands in Carmel, Indiana.
