I rode down to the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa, Iowa today. If you're a motorcycle type you could spend all day in this place. It's incredible.

650 miles later, here's some pics.

Nothing in the building was as cool as the Vincent. Except the Captain.

Great pics…. My little bro hangs w Doc out of Appleton who has a Harley museum and he also does the cannonball on a 1916 HD. He just picked up a Henderson

I could spend a whole day at a museum like that

Beautiful The Evel/Robbie Kneivel stuff is very cool. I still remember when every jump was a National TV event. Everything from Caesar's to the Buses to the Snake River boondoggle. Dad and I would be glued to the 19" CRT. The whole prelude to the jump always lasted like 90 minutes and the jump 60 seconds even with the several run ups That Harley is sweet. Can you imagine Travis Pastrana trying to do a double back flip on that thing? He'd be choking on his nuts.

I like the pan head in the first and last photo, and the twin carb Kneivel scoot...


...and the 53 Chief, like that one too.

500 or so. Some are there on a consignment basis so the bikes change with some regularity.

Everywhere you look the place is FULL of MC memorabilia.

Barbers Museum was pretty good too. We haven’t been there in a long time.
