    Thumbs up Motorcyclepedia Grand Opening

    Just got back from the MotorcyclePedia Grand Opening. Fantastic! What an excellent job they've done. Worth the wait. Harley, Indian, Ace, Henderson,Pope, Cleveland, Reading Standard, Pierce,Merkel, Thor, Emblem, Vincent, Triumph, Simplex, Neracar, BMW, Ariel, on and on. That's just downstairs. B models, J models, V Models, Flatheads, Knuckles, Pans,K Models, XL's, XR's. Racers, Stugis, Dressers, Sidecars, Servicars, Military, Police. German Wall of Death Shows inside the building! Upstairs is the Indian Room with an Indian timeline. More Indians than you can shake a stick at. Then on the other side of the upstairs is the Chopper and Custom section with vintage choppers mixed in with Arlen Ness and Ed Roth examples. Lot's of memorabilia and movie posters. Rounding out the first floor is the A.M.C.A. Fast From The Past Exhibit overseen by Doc Patt in his portrait along side the Experimental Indian Torque 4. If you can't find something you love there, you better hang up your leathers. Brian Riegel A.M.C.A. #815.

    That's The price for the general Public It can't be the same for AMCA members, No One could possibly charge a member to look at the Torque 4 (not an Indian) which was purchased with members money by the AMCA then given to the "Fondation" Could they ???? Why that would not be Right would it ??

    Just saying the museam collection is really nice. I'm not involved in whatever other bullshit you guys are all bent out of shape about. Just stating it is cool. When the Amca Exhibit was in Hershey people pissed and moaned, now people are pissing and moaning about Newburgh. I've been in the AMCA since the late 1980's, I think it's great for the average public to get a chance to see the beautiful and historic machines we all enjoy, instead of people hoarding them away to themselves. Lighten up and smell the stale exhaust. #815.

    How about having a museum centrally located. Maybe in Kansas.

    That is quite a valid point, us folks in the East have easier access and I would find it difficult to travel cross country for a one day museaum visit.
