Anamosa, Iowa
After warming up some driving around town that morning and having seen the Iowa State Penitentiary (from the outside) I was now ready to go into the National Motorcycle Museum. First impression: Good, it's warm in here!
The second impression was I was overwhelmed with all there was to see.
I made three laps around the place.
Here is one of Evil Knievel's bikes.
This one here I was more impressed with in seeing.
Want a motorcycle with more power? Drop in a Chevrolet V-8 engine.
Still seeking something more in a motorcycle?
Too much bike eh? How about some toy motorcycles instead.
I'll show more tomorrow.
Ladies, tomorrow I'll end it. Not to worry.

Wow really impressive. When I was on technical high school about 1960 a few of my classmates had an indian from wwII and I remember the fun to make sparks going around a corner and hid the pavement with the flip-up footboard. Could also have been a harley I am not sure about it anymore.
What an impressive museum, that huge one is really funny, it even has two headlights! You must have had a great day there.
i just shared a motorcycle museum in Maggie Valley, North Carolina ...
i was curious where this was located. we have never been to Iowa ... will have to check it out when we do. looks like a neat collection. such style. ( :
I jjust happen to be reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance right now. ;) I'm impressed that the museum also has Steve McQueen's sleeping bag.
Impressive place. After 3 laps I guess they told you to get off Evil's bike? Oh, the Freudian aspects of men and motorcycles between their legs, but lets not go there. This is a family show.
holy smokes, some of those bikes! extreme! loved the indian!
Steve McQueen's bike is pretty cool. My grandsons sure would love any/all of those toy motorcycles.
I've been taught "if you can't pick it up,you can't ride it".
I bet nobody could pick up one of those V8s if it tipped over.
Looks like a fun place to tour!
The 8 cylinder motorcycle caught my eye. Holy spokes!
Peace :)
I'll take the one from Steve McQueen please!
My mouth would have been hanging open here...would have been speechless for once in my life.
