And that’s why we are celebrating here at the Reagan Library motorcycles and his great work in that area alone.”

The Ronald Reagan Library is located at 40 Presidential Drive in Simi Valley, California.  ”Born To Be Wild VIP Party” tickets are available online at www.ReaganLibrary.com/events or through the 5 participating dealerships by phone or visit.  For information on the 5 dealerships, visit their websites:  www.HarleyFullerton.com, www.AntelopeValleyHD.com, www.BargerHarley-Davidson.com, www.CaliforniaHarley.com, and www.PomonaValleyHarley-Davidson.com.
