Motorcyclepedia
« on: November 02, 2011, 05:43:27 pm »
Just paid a visit to an awesome motorcycle museum over in Newburgh, NY named Motorcyclepedia. You can Google this, but being a non-profit, their web-site is pretty lame. Don't let that put you off, though. They have hundreds of cool vintage bikes. Current displays include the Indian Timeline with examples from 1902 through 1953 and they even threw in one of the more recent models from that last failed revival. Other displays are 'Fast From The Past' that includes a number of on/off road speedsters. There's another section titled 'Chopper City' that will throw you back to the late 60's/early 70's and includes replicas of the Easy Rider movie bikes. Down stairs (this place is much larger than it looks from the street) is another whole set of displays that include marques such as Pope, Vincent, Ace, Henderson, Ner-a-car, and on and on... They also have a 'Wall of Death' cycle performance arena that runs at scheduled times. It was truly worth the 4+ hours it took me to get there...  8)
