Terry and Gayle Krentz smile beside their extensive collection of Harley Davidson motorcycles.
Most collectors share a common bond: an intense passion for the things that bring them happiness.
Gayle and Terry Krentz have transformed their appreciation for Harley Davidson into more than just a hobby — it’s a way of life.
Their residence serves as a self-declared museum celebrating all things Harley Davidson. Every inch of their home radiates the spirit and colors of Harley Davidson motorcycles.
The living room showcases Harley-themed curtains and furniture, with vibrant orange and black rugs enhancing the overall decor.
The kitchen further highlights the couple’s enthusiasm for Harley memorabilia, featuring bar stools with the iconic fire logo, along with plates, cups, glasses, a clock, a trash can, cookie jars, and additional items on proud display.

Shelves overflow with collectable Harley Davidson motorcycles in Gayle and Terry Krentz’s residence.
Every bedroom transforms into a Harley-lover’s dream, adorned with curtains, bedspreads, and memorabilia. From bathroom towels to light switch covers and drawer pulls, everything showcases the signature black and orange Harley aesthetic.
The walls, filled with HD-themed artwork and Harley-decorated shelves in each room, are a testament to their deep love for Harley Davidson.
Each collectible tells a unique story, and the Krentzs cherish the history behind every piece, an authentic reflection of their devotion to their collection.
Terry Krentz started collecting memorabilia 30 years ago with his first Harley Davidson motorcycle, and his wife joined in two years later.
“It grew naturally; we didn’t aim to collect every single item associated with Harley,” Gayle Krentz explained. “It’s birthdays, anniversaries, and every visit to a dealership where you find something new. Our friends have also generously gifted us unique finds. It’s akin to anyone who collects NASCAR or sports memorabilia — there’s no difference.”

Among their most unique treasures is a Harley Davidson fishing lure, which Gayle and Terry Krentz consider a rare find in their collection.
Curio cabinets throughout the home are brimming with an array of collectibles in various shapes and sizes, some familiar, others truly one-of-a-kind.
“If it’s Harley, there’s a good chance we have it,” Gayle Krentz proudly stated.
Among their collection are Ken and Barbie dolls dressed in Harley apparel that were wedding gifts, matching the leather jacket Gayle wore on her special day, complete with Harley-themed wedding jewelry.
As is common among collectors, each item holds a special significance, and the Krentzs are no exception. Terry’s cherished piece is a lamp with adjustable Harley headlights, while Gayle treasures a large Harley coffee mug.
However, they both agree that the true gem of their collection is that rare Harley Davidson fishing lure.

This unique floor lamp featuring adjustable Harley headlights is Terry Krentz’s favorite item from their collection.
The vast assortment of collectibles, large and small, includes miniature motorcycles, leather jackets, beer steins, games, pins, and countless knickknacks — truly everything imaginable associated with Harley Davidson.
Their garage is dedicated to housing their Harley Davidson motorcycles, reflecting their shared passion for collecting and their love of riding the open road on their bikes at every opportunity.
Gayle’s favorite ride is her Harley Davidson Nightster, while Terry enjoys his “Cadillac of Harleys,” the Electric Glide classic. They proudly hold lifetime membership in the Harley Owners Group.
Asked what they love about Harley Davidson, Terry Krentz summarized, “It symbolizes a lifestyle, represents freedom, embodies patriotism, and fosters a brotherhood. To us, all riders form a family.”

The Wheeling Soup Kitchen plays an essential role in feeding and supporting our community, and we’re grateful to contribute to this vital mission.”
Year after year, Boozefighters MC Chapter 72 has collaborated with the soup kitchen to deliver food, essential resources, and hope to those in need across the region.
Members of the club raise funds through various events, raffles, and a charity ride held the first weekend in November that everyone is welcome to join, all in support of the Soup Kitchen’s mission to combat hunger in the local area.
The Wheeling Boozefighters express gratitude to the numerous sponsors who have supported their efforts over the years, allowing them to make such impactful contributions to the Wheeling Soup Kitchen.
This year’s sponsors include Croft and Sons MFG, Valley Harley Davidson, Armed Forces Motorcycle Club, the Alpha Tavern, Breaking Skin Tattoo, Frio’s Bail Bonds, Taylor’s Auto, Rods RV Camp, Dan-o Welding, Lowry’s Metals, Mark Lake, and Park Circle Cafe.

The Chautauqua-Kinzua Harley Owners Group (C-K HOG), which is based at Jamestown Harley Davidson, recently made a generous contribution to the Chautauqua County Little Free Project. This donation included a variety of non-perishable food items, personal hygiene products, and other essentials for their pantry, as well as a significant number of toys for their Christmas program, all aimed at assisting local individuals and families in need.
The Little Free Project was initiated in 2020, during the early days of the pandemic, by Beth Anderson and her children, Lily and Richard III Speadling, who were seeking ways to support their community. Initially starting with one pantry filled with donated goods, the initiative has now expanded to include 40 pantries in the surrounding area. Although the pantries may be small, they symbolize hope for those who utilize them. C-K HOG has been a strong supporter of the family’s ongoing efforts to aid the community, frequently donating throughout the year and collecting toys at each meeting for Christmas donations.
For those interested in contributing to the welfare of those less fortunate in our area, the Chautauqua County Little Free Project maintains a Facebook page.
