Wisconsin Newest Museum

The day was bright and sunny, and the temps were expected to reach all the way into the twenties, so of course it was a great day for a ride.

The Ural started right up, and I headed south to meet a few friends before heading to the grand opening of the Motorider Wisconsin Motorcycle Museum.

There were a lot of bikes out, but the display was a bit...underdeveloped. Rows which had to be negotiated with care about bumping into something. Hard to manage with a helmet over my shoulder, but I am too nervous about my lid to leave it laying around.


The beemer really caught my eye.


The museum is actually attached to the Motorider shop, which will service every make and model, and is open seven days a week. A nice touch for a motorcycle shop. The owner showed us around and even took us in back to show the bikes not on display.


Actually there was food delivered for the Grand Opening, and that was set up in the shop area. So the 'private tour' wasn't all that private, though seeing the Owner's passion about the collection (Most of which is his personally), and motorcycling in general was worth it.



The museum website is www.wisconsinmotorcyclemuseum.com, and it is worth a hour or three of your time if you find yourself in South East Wisconsin.

So long since the last post. Not my fault, really. After the bitter cold and knee deep snow, the weather as turned a (for December) balmy 40s and sunny, so I have been riding. There are still other bikes out too, so I am not even alone. If it stays like this, there will not be much point to blogging, since riding all winter will not be that big of a deal.

The Beemer came back from the Shop on Friday, and I have about 200 miles on it since then. I have to ride it now as much as I can, so I am used to it again when the weather is less agreeable. Odd how strange it felt, after not riding it for more than a month. Still, I am getting the hang of it again, and am not too worried for when winter returns.

I will have to go and take some pictures of Christmas lights. 'Tis the season, and all that.
