We spent more than 2 hours wandering around this museum. There are several sections devoted to motorcycles, scooters and memorabilia. My husband is a rider, has been for most of his life. I don't ride, but I am a Moto-GP racing fan, and am fascinated by the designs, workmanship, and stories behind the bikes on display. You'll see one of Steve McQueen's Harleys, Nicky Hayden and Eric Bostrom bikes, vintage motorcycles, and more. My husband spoke with curator and restorer Bobby Weindorf, and we were shown around by Randy wilder, who told us amazing and entertaining stories about some of the bikes (and their riders). The entry price is very reasonable - as seniors, we got in for $10. each - and you won't regret the time you spend here.
