Museum Update

Construction finished, walls and floor painted (non skid for the floor) and now working on individual signs. Thought I'd post a couple quick shots, starting with some of the twenty current and vintage Bimota on display:









Individual shots next week. Dave

Incredible collection. I'm so envious. Wish it wasn't such a long trek from CA. Congrats to the people fortunate enough to visit.

+1 on the California part. However, I heard a rumor or remember a post on this sight of a possible motorcycle display/museum in the Monterey coastal area, maybe north of there. Apparently someone here spotted a bunch of bikes through a window of a facility yet to be opened.

Baxley sure made out with his product.

You've got Solvang to the NW of Santa Barbara but haven't heard of any others. Dave (and the Baxley's are great, thank God I got mine in a large batch well before the last round of price increases.)

And I thought Wisconsin was only known for the Green Bay Packers, Cheese kurds and Brats. That collection is amazing!

Actually, with the ones in the front part of the location, we usually have about 60 on display with the remaining 40 in the service area located at the rear of the building. We rotate bikes in and out each week and will allow visitors to go back into service to see the others if they ask. And I am a Bears fan, Packers reek!!!! Dave

Dave's museum is fairly close to Road America...looks like a couple hours maximum away (??).

I'm considering a trip out there to watch a race and then pop in to see Dave's collection.

About 2 1/2 hours, all on the interstate. Easy trip. Let me know if you are coming so I can make sure I am around. Dave
