Wisconsin Harley-Davidson in Oconomowoc was the jumping-off point today for a man who organized a motorcycle tour of the lower 48 to raise money for the families of wounded veterans.Milwaukee resident Bill Sherer, 29, started the fundraiser last summer and decided to do it again this year.Last year he rode through every state east of the Mississippi on his Harley, carrying a flag and raising money.This year more than 150,000 HOG members are expected to escort the flag through 48 states over 100 days, raising money at dealership events and celebrations along the way.The first leg of the 2010 tour headed to Chicago after a flag-christening ceremony this morning. Other stops are detailed on a map at Sherer’s Nation of Patriots Web site. The tour ends a week before Labor Day back at Wisconsin H-D.
