This life-size bronze replica of Joe Petrali on his 1936 Harley-Davidson Knucklehead Streamliner was recently donated to the Downtown Sturgis Foundation by E. J. Cole. The statue is on display at the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum and will be placed on Main Street in 2017 when the reconstruction is complete.
