"Do you Guggenheim?"


          

I've read about it, I've dreamed about it, I finally did it.
To all motorcycle motorheads, (you own a Norton don't you?), the Guggenheim, at the Venetian in Las Vegas, is an absolute must see.
I knew I would enjoy it, but it far exceeded my espectations.
How about a V-8, shaft drive, 130 m.p.h. circa 1907, How about a 1490 c.c., water cooled, water in fender, oil in frame, shaft drive, circa 1894, that's right 1894!!! And for the really bizzare, 5 cylinder, FRONT WHEEL DRIVE, cylinders inside of the front spokes rotating AROUND the axle, 68 m.p.h. circa 1922, very wierd. Why is there a difference in American riding positions vs. Eurpoean?? These things just barely scratch the surface of what is there.
Cost of admission, $15.00, I opted the extra $3.00 for the optional hand held audio.
After doing this, life is a little more complete. I think you would probably agree.
Keep on Riding

Mike

I saw that last Xmas, pretty awsome. The bikes, the movie, the timelines. I only wish they would let you take pictures.
