This past weekend, I finally paid a visit to
Motorcyclopedia in Newburgh, New York. I had heard about this place for years, and on Sunday, while recovering from a cold, I drove up with my buddy to check it out. I was blown away by the size of the collection, especially the vintage hillclimbers, the pre-WW1 bikes, the vintage police bikes, and the unrestored barn finds. During the warmer months, they also have "Wall of Death" shows, and throughout the year they host Lecture Series and Swap Meets. I will definitely be returning again soon.
