[emrat:9016] Re: St Francis motorcycle museum

You thought you almost were going to get a ticket? Was it for going too slow with a minimum speed? Ball Sa**

Looking on google maps yesterday morning wondering where to go for a ride on my day off and Ive never ridden east before so while looking whats just over the border, I zoomed into St Francis and low and behold they have a Motorcycle Museum, sorted! Unfortunately as you all may know, US-36 East is long, straight and kinda boring but this little gem makes it well worth it....

The museum just opened this April/May and theres plenty of pics on their website showing construction as it was purpose built with a huge vault in the middle.

I got a late start, setting off from Denver at 10:45am but there wasn't any traffic so made really good time. Didn't realize the time change until I was back at home looking at my pics. Theres a bunch of old Harleys and Indians but then plenty of brands I'd never heard of and many pre war, oldest being a 1902 Orient. Theres a $7 suggested donation. They have a 76 Bonnie and a Norton Commando.

On the way back, I blew past a cop coming the other way but he was in-between cars so all I heard was a chirp on his siren and his lights lit up briefly. I rolled off the throttle and thought he was coming up behind me, would of been my first ever bike ticket, but it was just some locals who I let over take me. Once I was sure, I was back on the throttle enjoying extra power of the T120. Sadly it was windy the whole way there and back, blowing north so I felt like a monkey hanging off the bike the whole way.
