Harley Davidson Motorcycle Museum, Milwaukee

Rode up to the Harley Museum with friends over the weekend. Nearly 800 miles round trip. Really nice weekend for it.

Anyone else ever make the trip? I dont' own a Harley (yet), but it was still an awesome ride.

I have not been, but would love to go one day. I'm glad you had a fun and safe ride.

From the Bedford/Lawrence county area it's well over 300 miles...we went way to the west around Chicago and ended up over 400 miles on the way up. Long day, but a beautiful ride.

That bike was crated when a tsunami hit - don't remember which one - washed up on a beach. The plaque says it's a tribute to the destructive power of a Tsunami.

Yes I was also there when it first opened during the 100th anniversary festivities, it was a very cool weekend with a lot to see. Only down fall is you can't find a bud light in that town.

Also, outside they have a couple bikes on rollers and anchored where they can't go anywhere. The wife really enjoyed the instruction provided and the opportunity to shift through the gears on a motorcycle; she doesn't ride, just behind me
