Absolutely great place to see and experience the history of motorcycles. Very well set up with lots of reading to go with the displays. Everything runs they will even start some up while you're there. One supported this place for years but this was my first actual visit. I was so happy to see all of the history.

The place and the people are amazing! The collection of bikes was unbelievable. I highly recommend this place. Beautiful museum and tribute to our history on wheels thanks to Dale's mastery!

I knew it would be awesome, but WOW!! If you are a motorcycle enthusiast, you absolutely have to visit. You could honestly spend a full day, if not more, exploring everything. So many irreplaceable treasures of motorcycle history. The staff is very knowledgeable and will start many of the bikes for you as they explain all their incritracies. We will return for sure!

How anyone can consider anything less than 5 stars is beyond me. This is an incredible ode to American motoring history. Not only is this one of the finest curated motorcycle museums, the staff are just as excited to be there as you are. We visited on a Sunday and even got to chat with the owner, Matt. What an incredible experience that was chatting with him about the collection and watching him fire up one the bikes. If you care about American history, be sure to consider becoming a lifetime donor before leaving. It's exactly what I did and will never regret that decision. I know the money will only go to preserving history for us all to enjoy! Your memory and legacy lives on, Dale. May you forever rest in peace.
