Former Wisconsin State Senator set to complete one million mile ride on Same motorcycle. Hupy & Abraham, S.C. Announces Landing Party on April 4, at noon, to Commemorate First Time Anyone Has Ridden One Million Miles on the Same Harley-Davidson
Milwaukee, Wis. – The law firm of Hupy & Abraham, S.C. announced today a landing party set for Saturday, April 4 to welcome former Wisconsin State Senator Dave Zien back to Wisconsin as he becomes the first person to ride one million miles on the same Harley-Davidson motorcycle. The feat will earn him a world record from the Iron Butt Association, an international group that oversees and governs safe, long-distance motorcycle riding challenges.
Hupy & Abraham, S.C. is the sole sponsor of the ride, providing more than $5,000 to offset the travel and maintenance costs. Zien is a longtime friend of attorney Michael Hupy, president of Hupy & Abraham, S.C., and a former client of the firm. Attorney Hupy also testified before the Wisconsin Senate Judiciary, Corrections and Privacy Committee in 2006 in favor of Act 466, the right of way violation bill requested by ABATE. Zien was chairman of the Judiciary Committee at that time.
“We are excited to see the culmination of Dave’s journey next month,” said attorney Hupy. “It will be a monumental occasion when he caps the million mile mark in Wisconsin.”
Zien’s odometer is expected to hit one million miles as he rides into Hal’s Harley-Davidson in New Berlin, Wis. at noon on April 4. Zien will be joined by John “Rogue” Herlihy, a Sturgis Freedom Fighter Hall of Fame member, Bruce Arnold, an Iron Butt Bun Burner 4500 Trifecta title holder, and Tony Sanfelipo, Sturgis Freedom Fighter Hall of Fame member, founder of ABATE of Wisconsin and 16-year employee of Hupy & Abraham, S.C., as he travels the more than 1,400 miles from Melbourne, Fla. to Milwaukee, Wis. Dozens of Wisconsin Patriot Guard riders will also escort Zien on a route lined with over 100 American flags as he completes the final leg of his journey. The celebratory event will include remarks from the president of the Iron Butt Association and local elected officials, as well as a check presentation from Hupy & Abraham, S.C. for a $5,000 donation to a veteran’s organization of Zien’s choice in honor of his work as a champion of veteran’s rights and Marine combat veteran.
There will also be a surprise announcement made at this celebration that you won’t want to miss.
The landing party is free and open to the public. For more information, please visit www.hupy.com and click Dave Zien’s photo on the homepage.
