Wasn't going to go to the Harley museum on opening weekend cuz I thought it would be a zoo, but my freind's band was playing and that was all the extra incentive I needed.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Very cool facility!&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Very industrial with lots of&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;iron and concrete with a total silver, black and orange&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;theme.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Engine room, bikes from every year, engineering room, video of&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;film clips from the days when&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;they&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;got the company back from AMF.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; There is also plenty of concrete parking for bikes, grassy areas for bands and such, a cool restaurant and a gift shop.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; All in all a very nice facility.

WTF is wrong with this site?&nbsp\\; Posting photos the way I always have and no success.&nbsp\\; I'll have to try again later.&nbsp\\; [:@]

 

what brain surgeon of a engineer thought it would be a good idea to have outside seating areas made out of i beams painted black?........fkn hot ....morons......other than that the place is great&nbsp\\;

 

Nice review. I want to visit the museum during the 105th anniversary, but someone told me because of the crowds, admission is via lottery. I'm just down the road in Chicago, so I'll check it out&nbsp\\;some other time.

Hey, it's Wisconsin.&nbsp\\; For about 10 months out of the year people will love those black seats.&nbsp\\;

 

Very cool, i'm going to have to make it out there some day. I've only seen the traveling museum.

 

Cool Pics...Hopefully I'll be riding over soon.
