Kutter Harley-Davidson’s “Rodney” to Challenge the Groundhog At His Own Game For Second Year

Janesville, Wis. – With the lack of a real winter season confounding the natural weather prognosticators in Southern Wisconsin, Groundhog Day will present a real challenge to the native species. Therefore, for the second year, Kutter Harley-Davidson of Janesville will step in to assist and turn to one of its champion family of predictors of all things leading to spring, Rodney the Harley Hog.

Rodney is an 800-pound Harley Davidson Road Glide motorcycle that has been in a self-imposed but reluctant dormancy since his natural habitat was temporarily covered by snow in early December. He is one of more than 300 motorcycles that have been heard stirring in recent days deep in the winter habitat at Janesville’s Kutter Harley-Davidson dealership on Pontiac Drive.

Last year, his sister Rhoda was the first to start stirring, and interpreters of the mystical motorcycle language predicted that Rhoda would emerge to daylight on the morning of Feb 2 with a definitive forecast. A large audience, many of them anxious masters of the hibernating vehicles, gathered before dawn to be the first to witness the unique 21st Century approach to the traditional day of hope for spring supplicants. They joined with reporters and television trucks as the furry headed Rhoda emerged, observed the scene and saw no shadow. She was checked over for chrome clarity and then returned to her den excitedly anticipating an early spring. She was right.

This year, Rodney the Harley Hog will emerge at exactly 7:30 a.m. on Groundhog Day when the large front doors of the Kutter dealership are thrown open. “We have ways to coax Rodney out of his den and I assure you it will be a noisy and exciting arrival,” says general manager Gary Sinks who claims to regularly talk to the hundreds of bikes in storage at the dealership, consistently honored as one of the leading Harley dealerships in the United States.

“There is nobody who is looking forward to this announcement from Rodney more than I am,” says Sinks. “I am tired of listening to the unpredictable fickle findings of rodents who know nothing about the Stateline area,” he adds.

Once Rodney has spoken, he will return through the smoke and thunder back into the security of the dealership where participants will be invited to join in a breakfast and a toast to good road conditions. They will also have a chance to meet Rodney before he returns to his den to get cleaned and polished in preparation for his permanent life on the road.
