The hand-painted Harley-Davidson mural outside Miss Worcester Diner will remain an icon at the restaurant.

The owner of the Worcester mainstay said in a Facebook post that she met with Sheldon’s Harley-Davidson of Auburn to broker a deal to keep the sign.

We can finally put this whole thing to rest now .. at noontime today I met with chad the owner of Sheldons Harley... Posted by Kim Kniskern on Tuesday, February 4, 2020

The local motorcycle dealership agreed to sponsor the sign, allowing it to remain in the space it’s been for three years.

The issue with the mural came after someone emailed Harley-Davidson a picture of the sign outside the diner, Kim Kniskern, the owner of Miss Worcester said.

Last week, Harley-Davidson sent a cease-and-desist letter to Miss Worcester asking for the painting that features its logo to be removed.

Soon after the letter appeared on social media, The Worcester Heritage Society created an online petition to save the sign. As of Wednesday morning, more than 4,300 people had signed it.

Through Sheldon’s Harley Davidson, the mural will now remain. Kniskern said when the weather warms, Sheldon’s logo will also appear on the sign.
