You really thought a little overcast weather could keep a roar 120 years in the making quiet?

Yes, even with some storms in the forecast, the first part of Harley-Davidson's Homecoming Festival still roared on the lakefront, gathering Harley riders from across the country and even around the globe for high-flying motorcycle stunts, high-profile rockers taking the main stage – including Kennyhoopla, Phantogram and The Cult, all headlined by Green Day – and high spirits. Want to relive this triumphant party one more time? Or weren't able to head down for these first few days? Live vicariously through these 16 full-throttle images, courtesy of photographer Ty Helbach. (And for more tips, tricks and info for the rest of the fest, check out our guide right here.)
