    <p>On Saturday, the dealership celebrated its inaugural day in <a href="https://www.the-sun.com/topic/business/" target="_blank" aria-label="(opens in a new tab)" rel="nofollow sponsored nocode noreferrer noopener">business</a>, attracting a large turnout of enthusiasts and local community members.</p>
    <p>The event featured live music and food vendors, culminating in a ribbon-cutting ceremony that marked the dealership's official launch.</p>
    <p>For Evan Bache, one of the dealership’s owners, it represented a significant milestone following a prolonged journey.</p>
    <p>He expressed: “It’s taken about three years to reach this moment. The path here was a long and arduous journey, but we made it—and the Harley community is with you wherever you go.”</p>
    <p>The new Stonewall <a aria-label="(opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.the-sun.com/topic/harley-davidson/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow sponsored nocode noreferrer noopener">Harley-Davidson</a> dealership, situated in Greene County, <a href="https://www.the-sun.com/topic/virginia/" target="_blank" aria-label="(opens in a new tab)" rel="nofollow sponsored nocode noreferrer noopener">Virginia</a>, was honored by the presence of Karen Davidson, a prominent figure in the Harley-Davidson community, who took part in the ceremonial "chain cutting."</p>
    <p>Davidson is the great-granddaughter of one of Harley-Davidson's co-founders and the daughter of Willie G. Davidson, a legendary designer and icon within the Harley-Davidson brand.</p>
    <p>In addition to the chain-cutting, she engaged with fans and signed copies of her memoir, "Willie G. Davidson: Ride Free."</p>
    <p>The dealership's owners also expressed their gratitude to the Buffalo Soldiers for managing traffic, along with a group of combat veterans who participated in the National Anthem ceremony.</p>
    <p>This <span id="d15977a5-1f28-4d40-9605-ea4e5f400ddb" class="suggested-link">news</span> comes amidst challenges for the motorcycle giant, including rumors of a prospective $1 billion sale of its financial branch.</p>

        <span class="article__bc_video-caption">Harley-Davidson's CEO faced criticism from dealers over 'constant pushing' as a seller's warning is issued on the brand's 'cultural shifts'</span>
    </div>
    <p>According to Business Times, unnamed sources suggest a potential interest in selling its Financial Services, which encompasses regional banks, private equity firms, and private credit entities.</p>
    <p>Additionally, they are in search of a new CEO, as Jochen Zeitz announced his resignation this month after leading the company for five years.</p>
    <p>Meanwhile, a new <a href="https://www.the-sun.com/topic/law/" target="_blank" aria-label="(opens in a new tab)" rel="nofollow sponsored nocode noreferrer noopener">law</a> has taken effect this week, imposing significant penalties on drivers of certain vehicles unless they conduct safety briefings for customers prior to the trip.</p>
    <p>These briefings, covering emergency exit protocols, fire extinguishers, and window-breaking tools, will resemble those provided before airplane departures.</p>
    <p>This legislative change follows a tragic 2018 accident involving an upstate limousine, which resulted in the death of 20 individuals, including four sisters.</p>
    <p>Federal investigations revealed that state regulators repeatedly failed to adequately oversee the vehicle, which was poorly maintained.</p>
    <p>The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) concluded that the crash likely resulted from the operators' “egregious disregard for safety,” leading to brake failure on a steep downhill stretch.</p>
    <p>The law came into effect on April 23 in <a href="https://www.the-sun.com/topic/new-york/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York</a>, mandated by the NYS Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).</p>

Excitement filled the streets of Green Point as the Cape Town Carnival celebrated its 15th edition this past weekend, enchanting both locals and tourists.

With the powerful roar of Harley Davidson motorcycles announcing the start of the parade, the Mother City was treated to an exhilarating showcase of creativity and culture, highlighting the best of its diverse community, Cape {town} Etc reports.

As thousands lined the Fan Walk, they were mesmerized by a dazzling array of performances from various participants, including City of Cape Town firefighters, DHL Stormers rugby players, accomplished local artists, and enthusiastic community groups from across the region.

This year’s celebration embraced the theme WowZA!, designed to reflect the bold and vibrant spirit that defines Cape Town and South Africa.

‘We are honored to offer a stage for Cape Town’s community artists, enabling them to share their talents with the thousands of Carnival-goers who breathe life into this event,’ remarked Jay Douwes, CEO of the Cape Town Carnival.

The carnival is a vibrant celebration of musicians, performers, and artisans who have tirelessly prepared throughout the year to ensure its success.

From belly dancers to brass bands, rollerbladers to traditional dancers, as well as dragons and drum majorettes, the parade had something for everyone. Behind the scenes, talented artisans dedicated countless hours to create fantastical floats that added color and excitement to the procession.

Enthralled fans cheered for the DHL Stormers as they paraded their bespoke ‘Taking the Cape by Storm’ float down Somerset Street, joyfully dancing to the beat of distinctly South African music.

Rachel Jafta, Chairperson of the Cape Town Carnival Trust, noted that the event has transformed into a distinctive South African feature of the city’s cultural calendar over its past 15 years.

‘The Cape Town Carnival is unique because it reflects the essence of South Africa through its music, dance, and breathtaking floats,’ she stated.

‘This year’s parade, themed around WowZA!, highlighted Cape Town’s iconic elements, and the happiness it generated was evident on every attendee’s face,’ Jafta emphasized.

A standout addition to this year’s festivities was Brazilian guest Erika Januza, famously known as the ‘Queen of the Drums’ from Rio Carnival, who infused the event with an international flavor.

The floats celebrated local pride while embracing a broader theme of creativity and community, highlighted by mesmerizing performances from renowned South African artists.

YoungstaCPT electrified the crowd atop his Gatsby float, while hip-hop sensation Bravo Le Roux made his debut, joined by Cape Town’s own shining star, Paxton Fielies.

JP Smith, MMC for Safety and Security and participant in the parade, emphasized the carnival’s vital role in promoting unity among the diverse populations of the city.

‘In addition to creating jobs and boosting the economy, and being one of the eight signature events in our city, the Cape Town Carnival primarily promotes social cohesion,’ he commented.

‘It serves as a reminder that Capetonians are united and that we have more commonalities than differences,’ Smith added.

Echoing this sentiment, Hennie Myburgh, station manager of Kfm 94.5, expressed pride in the long-standing partnership with the event.

‘It’s remarkable to witness Cape Town unite in celebration during this joyful evening. We are proud to be involved,’ he stated.

Motorcyclist Dies in Crash in Hamilton City | Glenn County

HAMILTON CITY, Calif. – A motorcyclist lost his life following a collision between a car and a motorcycle on Sunday evening, according to the CHP.

At approximately 6:35 p.m., a 2022 Tesla was heading west on Highway 32, nearing Sacramento Avenue. According to the CHP, the Tesla entered the left turn lane to turn south onto Sacramento Ave.

Simultaneously, a 43-year-old man from Forest Ranch was riding a 2022 Harley Davidson motorcycle east on Highway 32, also approaching Sacramento Ave. The CHP reported that as the Harley Davidson approached, the Tesla, driven by a 40-year-old man from Hamilton City, initiated a left turn.

The CHP indicated that the Tesla driver failed to notice the motorcycle during the turn, leading to the motorcycle colliding with the left front of the Tesla. Both the Tesla and the motorcycle continued traveling east before hitting a stop sign.
