WHITTMANHART Develops the Harley-Davidson Ride Planner to Support The Harley-Davidson 100th Anniversary

Web-Based Application Allows Customers to Build Their Own Ride Plan to The 100th Anniversary Celebration in Milwaukee

CHICAGO, Aug. 7 -- WHITTMANHART, official technology partner for the Harley-Davidson 100th Anniversary and a leading provider of enterprise commerce solutions, today announced that it has worked with the motorcycle manufacturer to develop the Harley-Davidson(SM) Ride Planner. The Ride Planner is a web-based tool designed to help Harley-Davidson enthusiasts build, customize and share ride plans. Complete with maps and directions, Harley-Davidson dealership locations, and special 100th Anniversary events that are occurring throughout the continental United States, the Ride Planner is particularly useful in helping enthusiasts build a custom ride plan to the Harley-Davidson 100th Anniversary Celebration events in Milwaukee, Wis., on Labor Day weekend, 2003.

"As an industry leader, Harley-Davidson understands the importance of leveraging technology to help maintain a close relationship with its customers. The Harley-Davidson(SM) Ride Planner is a great example of how Harley-Davidson goes the extra mile to create a richer customer experience," said WHITTMANHART Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Robert Bernard. "This and other technology solutions we are delivering for the 100th Anniversary support that commitment, by providing the Harley-Davidson community with key information, resources and online experiences to help motorcycle enthusiasts and the general public participate in the 100th Anniversary."

The main feature of the Harley-Davidson(SM) Ride Planner is the ability to create a Ride Plan complete with maps and directions. After choosing a starting point and destination, a route is mapped on the most direct roads between those points. Each Ride Plan can be customized by adding stops at an address, at Harley-Davidson dealerships, authorized Rentals operators and events, or by changing the roads to travel on within any segment of a route. Ride Plans can be saved for future reference and shared with others.

"The Harley-Davidson Ride Planner is another way Harley-Davidson helps motorcycle enthusiasts fulfill their dreams and create their own Harley- Davidson experience, online and on the road," says Ken Ostermann, Manager, Electronic Commerce and Communications for Harley-Davidson.

As technology partner for the 100th Anniversary, WHITTMANHART is working with Harley-Davidson to deliver a dynamic online experience that captures the excitement of the 100th Anniversary events and serves as a single source of accurate and timely information. Visitors to the Harley-Davidson Web site, www.harley-davidson.com , can find the Ride Planner tool as well as a special 100th Anniversary section, also developed by WHITTMANHART. The 100th Anniversary section includes the latest details on all of the 100th Anniversary events -- The Open Road Tour, The Ride Home, The Celebration, The Parade and The Party -- including dates and venue information and photo and video coverage of the events.
