Harley fans make statement in wood

--- Corporate America is snatching the livelihood from local families.

--- A valued machine is best repaired by the hands of a skilled worker.

--- Riding a Harley is like flying with eagles.

These are just some of the interpretations of those viewing a newly created piece of local art.

But they share a common message: Harley-Davidson belongs in York County.

Conewago Township artist Brad Heilman, owner of BDH Custom Chainsaw Carving, recently carved a sculpture out of a 15-foot tall pin oak tree trunk outside J & J Cycle Barn.

The piece depicts large hands holding a Harley-Davidson motorcycle while an eagle's talons clutch the bike's handlebars.

"I had an inspiration for the bike and America," Heilman said. "A lot of people work (at Harley-Davidson), and they take pride in what they do."
