the one in #12 would have gone alot faster on the flats if it were another color. guess it was cutting edge for 1936 though.

I agree! No need for Vrod fast for Sheila... The Evo in the FXR4 is just fine...

I wonder if late at night, they all come alive and start themselves up and ride around the museum.

sadunbar · « **Reply #51 on:** January 02, 2010, 11:45:29 PM »

I don't know how many bikes are displayed, but they claim to have about 4 times as many vintage or historic bikes in storage in another area of the museum... Some that they rotate from time to time - and some that are in various stages of restoration....

Wanna ride · « **Reply #52 on:** January 02, 2010, 11:56:47 PM »

There's a lot of very cool stuff there. I rode up, back in late August. Here's a pic of some of the stuff in storage...

Sadunbar, I see you're from IL... what part?
You must have a decent camera, your pics turned out way better than the ones I took in the darker parts of the museum.

Thanks for sharing!

We live outside Roscoe, IL. North of Rockford - just south of the Illinois/Wisconsin state line. I grew up on the northside of Chicago in Wilmette...

My camera is a Nikon D700... I don't know if I ever will learn all the features... It is more capable than I am so far...

Thanks for the pix! Saw a thing or two that I did not recall seeing back in August on my visit. Had a chance to buy one of these WWII XA war bikes a few years back. By the time I did some quick research and got back to the guy, it was gone.

Great pictures Scott. I remember some of those displays from the 100th, like the clay model of the V Rod.

I live straight down 39 just south of I-80. We should try to get in a ride this spring. My last ride was up to Kagel's for lunch, then back down along the river through Byron, and then to Dixon. Ever ride over to Poopy's in Savanna?

Yep - been there a few of times. My dad had a cruiser he kept on the Mississippi in Dubuque for a few years - just upriver from Savanna.

Great photos Scott. Some of my favorites from this display are the ’55 KLX, and the overhead cam 883 and 1100.

djkak · « **Reply #67 on:** January 04, 2010, 06:46:47 PM »

This OHC machine ran a 1 piece crank with offset cylinders. For those of us monkeying around in 1976 and wondering where the hell Milwaukee came up with the big honkin’ megaphone exhaust for the FX machines; that exhaust was originally developed for this new OHC that never made it to the showrooms.

djkak · « **Reply #68 on:** January 04, 2010, 06:47:55 PM »

Although the Sprint was produced from ’61 through ’74, the first year for the new top end displayed on the wall was 1967. 1968 was the same as I remember, then in ’69 the engine’s left side cover was changed when the wet clutch was changed to a dry unit, and the displacement was increased to 350cc.

Here’s something that you don’t see everyday; a 1970 FLH Electraglide with a hand shift.

This machine will go with any of Momma’s denim outfits.
