This is a 8-part collectors' guide to pins offered for Harley-Davidson's 100th in 2003 (complete with descriptions and pictures).
PART 3 shows all Open Road Tour pins.
The Open Road Tour (ORT) was held at the following locations:
- Atlanta, GA 2002
- Baltimore, MD 2002
- Los Angeles, CA 2002
- Toronto, Canada 2002
- Dallas, TX 2002
- Sydney, Australia 2003
- Tokyo, Japan 2003
- Barcelona, Spain 2003
- Hamburg, Germany 2003
The displays were also included in The Celebration in Milwaukee, Wisconsin 2003, though this was not considered an ORT event.
RETAIL: The following pins were available for purchase by anyone attending an Open Road Tour event.
MDA PINS: The Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) was selling collectors pins at each of the ORT events and The Celebration. There was a generic round pin sold at all of the events and then an event rocker for each of the events. The Milwaukee rocker was flat on the bottom signifying the last pin of the set. The following pictures show just a few of these pins.
(Complete boxed sets were offered at the Celebration in Milwaukee. Information on the boxed set is included in my guide covering THE CELEBRATION. The set does NOT include the following Mexico City pin. There were 5000 of the boxed sets produced.)
Aside from the boxed sets, there were 4,000 Dallas rockers produced and 50,000 Milwaukee rockers produced. I do not have production numbers for the other events.
The ORT was scheduled to go to Mexico City as their last 2002 stop. Although this event was cancelled, some of the MDA pins surfaced about a year later on eBay. These are authentic pins that were not destroyed as they were supposed to have been. They are quite rare and have sold for as much as $200 on eBay.
ROADHOUSE PINS: The following pins were available only to HOG members at the HOG Roadhouse within the events. There was one of these for each ORT event. (Although the ORT show did go to the Celebration, there was NO Roadhouse pin for Milwaukee.)
Although the Mexico City event was cancelled, a few of the pins surfaced a few years later on eBay. These are very rare and have sold for as much as $400 on eBay.
Flaming HOG 20th Pins: Two of the ORT events (Barcelona and Hamburg) had their own special pins. These were evidently sold at these events. Then, when they ran out of Roadhouse pins to give to members, these were given instead.
