This place is awesome! Even if you're not a motorcycle enthusiast like my husband, this place was fun. They have a lot of cool stuff that anyone would enjoy. There was the motorcycle from TRON, a bunch of '70s custom bikes that look like giant toys (I swear I had a hot wheels of the bubbletop one), bikes you could touch and take pictures on, even the signs and wall art was cool. This is really worth the stop and I'd go back in a heartbeat.

The extensive collection of the Antique Motorcycle Association is now displayed inside a former lumber warehouse store, confidently renamed "Motorcyclepedia." There's a range of the expected choppers and hill climbers, Indians and Harleys. The star exhibits include the motorcycle that Charles Lindbergh traded for his first airplane, and a police motorcycle from JFK's assassination motorcade. The museum also has two "Wall of Death" thrill show motordomes, big wooden barrels in which daredevil motorcyclists tried to speed around the inside vertical walls without crashing.
