It’s the most fun you can have with your clothes on visiting WTT museum

just a few days of many…it’s as good as Milwaukee HD museum and probably a skosh better due to mix of bikes and actual interaction with the viewer, us. Two very impressive collections of motorcycle history. Add in Boeing museum and the 3 are tops for me so far!

I see something new every time I go. Last year I got wrapped up in the snowmobile section. Sounds lame, I know, but there were all sorts of oddball homemade machines.

It's a great museum, they had to ask me to leave because they were closing.

We were there for over 6 hours and I don't think I was able to see everything. Dale started a few bikes and spent quite a bit of time talking to us and the other guests. We get some pretty cool old bikes coming through the shop but nothing like the WTT museum. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

We stopped in there years ago. One thing that impressed me was their display covering the Jack Pine Enduro. The enduro started back in the early 1920's and there were lots of pictures, displays, bikes, etc covering that. What makes this so interesting to me is that I have participated (raced, pre-rode, check points, set up trail, road crossings, etc) for over 45 years.
That is a great museum to visit though....
