This was my 5th visit to motorcyclepedia. We live approximately two and a half hours away..And it never disappoints..We made the trip in in 2012 for the Cannonball Run start..We've been there 3 times since. Very first time I walk through the doors I had goosebumps for the first 45 minutes.We came in one time when wall of death was running.And loved it! Got to meet Ted and his dad a couple years ago on our first visit and they were absolutely amazing..We live eat and sleep motorcycles..We run a small tourist business" Jim Thorpe Sidecar Tours" And we get to share our love and passion of motorcycles with some people. that have never even experienced one motorcycle ride before..This place is a true treasure and everybody should plan on attending it. The collections just keep growing all the time..Thank you Ted.. Dad ..and family for such a wonderful place. We consider it an honor every time we visit!

I took a motorcycle safety course so I got in free. After looking at all the motorcycles and displays I would have paid double. Since the course I have been back 2 times.

Great place to visit if you love motorcycles and history. I had not read up on visiting and went with my significant other who expressed an interest as a motorcycle owner. I enjoyed the history behind the creation of motorcycle, the part played in several movies and how one could enjoy all the exhibits without the crowds. Volunteers were very friendly and helpful. Once the people of orange county realize this gem, it will get crowded.

I was surprised to see so many motorcycles in one place. Over 500 bikes, from 1900 till present day. Full collection of Indian bikes, choppers, Harley and many others from around the world. Famous bikes from the movies like Tron and Hell rider!

This is the best motorcycle museum I have ever been to. The amount and quality of items are just remarkable. The uncluttered layout makes it a joy to look at all the amazing bikes. Plan on spending a few hours looking over the two floors of motorcycle artifacts. A must see on any riders bucket list.

The shear volume of artifacts at this museum make it remarkable. I went here with my son's scout group and received a tour from one of the founders of the msueum. What a remarkable story of collecting, passion and history. The gentleman who toured the scouts through the museum did a great job and we appreciate his taking time out of a busy day. I would highly recommend this site for those interested in cycles. Then take a trip to the several other museums nearby. My favorite is the West Point Museum at the US Military Academy!

I was told that this museum has only been open a few years,but as soon as i heard about it I put it on my bucket list.I was impressed with several of the museums collection,the Indian timeline was great!!!!!!Once you finish the first floor,which was more then most museums,you then head down stairs to find even more great stuff that holds a part in the history of motorcycling

Imagine seeing the famous Indian brand motorcycle, but wait - seeing one from every year dating back to the early 1900s. They have many early bikes from companies that only were in business for a couple years. As you would expect, they have many bikes from Harley, BMW, Triumph, Honda, and all the other brands. Then they have custom bikes. Memorabilia galore. Plan to spend at least 90 minutes. Great place to see motorcycle history.

This place is a hidden jewel. It is in the town of Newburg, slips into the surrounding neighborhood, and is easy to miss. Once you find it, which is easy after you know its there, you walk into the past of motorcycle history and Legends. They have the first of MANY, and the entire line of Indians starting for the beginning. There is also a basement with bikes that became famous, JFK escort bikes when he was assassinated in Dallas TX. in 1963. Many, many, many history bikes including the replicas movie set editions of Easy Rider. This place is a MUST SEE!

I visited the Motorcyclepedia Museum with a friend a few weekends ago. It is AMAZING. I will bring my fiance very soon as he is a motorcycle enthusiast and I think he would love it. The vast history and memorabilia is amazing. I didn't know the varied history of two-wheeled and a few three wheeled bikes. Simply fascinating to see the uses of these bikes. The two unusual items I enjoyed were the Harley snow mobile dating to the early 20th century and a tank bike (a similar one was used in Saving Private Ryan). The first floor has a huge collection of Indian bikes and a few choppers. The lower floor has many Harleys and some older US made bikes. Simply amazing and the staff want to share the story of the museum with you... a sweet gentleman shared some of his favorite bikes with us and told us that the owner built the museum to display his personal collection. It's an astounding personal collection. He said that he spent 5 hours there his first visit. My friend and I were only there for about an hour, but I'm sure when I return with my fiance, the motorcycle enthusiast, we will spend more than an hour there ;-) A must see if you like bikes.

We went here on Saturday, a friend had told us it's a must see! Well what a pleasant surprise, they have movie motorcycles, from Saving Private Ryan, Ghost Rider, I think 3 Steve Mcqueen movies, Captain America, and and etc. etc. It simply great! And then the Indian Gallery which has a display of Indian Motorcycles from the year 1901 to 1914! The history, just overwhelming, you'll be glad and proud you saw it!

I took my husband here as part of a getaway weekend and he loved it. They have a great collection of antique and modern bikes that are exhibited in a very organized fashion. The museum also had a show called the wall of terror which was thrilling. A man rode his bike on the sides of a cylinder wall and came right up to the top. My husband really enjoyed the museum and I was not as bored as I thought I would be, lol
