Plankowners of the USS South Dakota, SSN 790, have lifetime rights to ride the motorcycle. Any sailor assigned to SSN 790 is welcome to check the bike out of the museum and ride it anywhere in the state of South Dakota.
The exceptionally talented airbrush artist Mickey Harris, who is from South Dakota and who specializes in military theme art, created and painted the bike, which honors the history of Battleship South Dakota and commemorates Submarine South Dakota.
Sturgis Motorcycle Museum and Motorcycle Hall of Fame stores the Harley at the museum on permanent display, and maintained in running condition. An ignition key to the bike aboard the sub, can be checked out by any crewmember that goes on leave to South Dakota..
