National Motorcycle Museum
« on: February 28, 2010, 02:28:39 PM »
  I recently visited the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa Ia. Very worth the trip. 7 bucks and a lot of bikes to look at. I'm thinking it is located in the center of a fair number of us. Maybe we should pick a date and meet there. Bike ride or even a cabin fever reliever in the winter.
 Any takers?

I was born in Anamosa, IA, fifty some years ago.  Have not been to the motorcycle museum yet , but plan to now that I am getting back into bikes.  Heard recently that they may be moving to a bigger facility so they can display more bikes.

Yes the lady said the new bldg. is an old Wal Mart. The displays have been added in the existing building and some similar bikes are in different areas. The new one will be nice.

If you are considering a trip to the National Motorcycle Museum, I thought I would let you know about the Arlen Ness 'Awesomeness' exhibit that will preview on June 26 & 27, 2010 during the J&P Open house. This is a great opportunity to meet Motorcycle Hall of Fame inductee Arlen Ness, learn his personal story and view over 10 of his most exciting creations. Please visit www.nationalmcmuseum.com for additional details!

When the weather is looking good we will try to schedule a cruise. My Street Rod Club wants to come too.
