Motorcycle Road Trips (Vol. 15) American Motorcycle Museums & Collections
These nine published magazine articles document some of the finest public museums and private collections in the United States. While traveling by motorcycle for the past forty years, I've taken every opportunity to check out museums and collections, even though I have a love/hate relationship with them. I think the best use for a motorcycle is to ride it and for me the worth of any motorcycle is measured by its odometer, not its shine. I can appreciate motorcycles as art, but let's not forget they're motorcycles not sculptures - they were meant to be ridden.
I've found the most interesting things about museums and collections is not the motorcycles contained in them - it's the story of the people who put them together. The public museums are usually an outward expression of an individual who loves motorcycling and wants to share their passion for the sport with as many enthusiasts as possible and what's not to like about that? The private collections are usually an inward expression of an individual's desire to own the motorcycles that were unobtainable in their youth and what's not to like about that either? Keep your eyes open for opportunities to see a private collection. You never know when or where they will present themselves. At each one of these museums and collections I learned something new about motorcycles and I've been around them for fifty years. I hope they'll do the same for you.

Motorcycle Road Trips (Vol. 27) More American Motorcycle Museums & Collections
These five magazine articles document some of the finest public museums and private collections in the United States. One of the newest transportation museums in America (America On Wheels) includes motorcycles from the teens to the nineties, the country's premier antique automobile club (Antique Automobile Club of America) also houses motorcycles at its museum. Who knew?. A man's love of '70s twin-cylinder motorcycles lead to a modest collection that he's turned into a true living museum by allowing you to rent them for weekend rides (Retro Tours), a racing sports car museum with a motorcycle exhibition (Simeone Museum), and a motorcycle-friendly, acid-tinged rock and roll museum with choppers (Museum At Bethel Woods a.k.a. Woodstock).
