Thanks InkedMaster,

That was good.

Did anyone get to see "The Art Of Tha Motorcycle" exhibition?

I caught it in NYC,at the Guggenheim.
http://www.guggenheim.org/exhibitions/past_exhibitions/motorcycle/motorcycle.html

I also saw some really sweet antiques at the  Ford Museum,in Dearborn ,Michigan.There were "one-ofs" and bikes that only the richest folks could own(at the time),and they looked like it.
Supper long and powered by 6 and 8 cylinder motors.
And of course they have beautiful Indians and HDs there.as well brands(American)that no one`s heard of.

It is incredable how elaborate bikes can be.  They make Harleys in York PA, about 90 miles away...

A most excellent video.  Thanks for sharing.  Have ridden bikes most all of my life in one version or another.

Mmmm...Motorcycles. Thanks for the video link.
I love to ride. Have a motorcycle license and sold my bike last year to get a bigger one.
 
There have been some really good bike shows out here, and a few museum runs that captured my heart.
 
A favorite subject for me,
Irish

Absolutely lurve motorcycles. I am not one of the boys, not macho, old enuff to know better but to me  riding a m'cycle is a wonderful experience.
I own a Yamaha 600 Fazer. I just wish  the windshield would work. ie not produce turbulance.

Own, love a honda 2003 Valkyrie!
It's a Goldwing that looks like a motorcycle: windshield, bags, 1500cc 6-cyl pleasure!
only 1 thing can make it better, reverse. What a goldwing has that I don't. :(



InkedMaster -> RE: American Motorcycle Heritage (10/12/2007 5:29:55 PM)

Well I have reverse on my Heritage...5'2" lil blonde spinner that answers to slave!

Argh, can't see the vid, but...

If you're interested in the subject, Wheels Through Time motorcycle museum in Maggie Valley, NC, is just amazing... he's got a hundred some-odd bikes, all US built, and they all run... The owner wanders around chatting with all the visitors, and he'll fire up whatever happens to catch his fancy. Just amazing to see somebody light off a 191x Excelsior-Henderson inline 4 like it was nothing... gave me chills.
