A fixture of the Las Vegas Strip, the Harley-Davidson Cafe, closed on Oct. 31, 2016.<\/p>\n

The restaurant has gone dark and much of its exterior signage has been removed.<\/p>\n

\"Harley-Davidson
The motorcycle on the restaurant’s facade is being removed. How awesome would it be if the worker who took the wheel was named Jesus?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We took a peek inside the Harley-Davidson Cafe, to bid a final farewell. To a place where we never visited, but that’s beside the point.<\/p>\n

The Harley-Davidson Cafe boasted the “World’s Heaviest Flag” weighing seven tons, made of 44,000 links of chain. You can see a portion of the flag at right in the photo below.<\/p>\n

The closed Harley-Davidson Cafe, sans memorabilia.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The restaurant’s (7.1:1) scale replica of a Heritage Softail motorcycle on the building’s exterior is being dismantled.<\/p>\n

For 19 years, the motorcycle has loomed large over Las Vegas Boulevard at the corner of Harmon Avenue. The motorcycle cost $750,000 to build, and is said to have stopped traffic when it was first erected.<\/p>\n

The pieces of the motorcycle have been plucked unceremoniously from the restaurant’s facade and currently sit in front of the closed Harley-Davidson Cafe.<\/p>\n

\"Harley-Davidson
The front tire weighs 1,200 pounds and measures 32 feet across, much like us after a Las Vegas buffet.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As we were the first to report<\/a>, the Harley-Davidson Cafe closed because it had fallen several months behind in its rent payments.<\/p>\n

Harley-Davidson Cafe held an auction of its memorabilia<\/a> in October 2016.<\/p>\n

\"Harley-Davidson
Not too different from most incidents involving motorcycles in Las Vegas.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A new tenant is in the works, but no official announcement has been made. Ask us nicely over a Captain and diet and we’ll be happy to share the scoop.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
