The Harley-Davidson Museum Archives

The Harley-Davidson Museum Archives felt a little bit like Santa's Workshop, full of toys and hard to believe.

The workshop was reasonably modest, but well equipped and clearly used.

Nice place for a Kodak moment.

If my bike breaks down and I need a lil' help, I hope this is what the dispatcher sends.

I can't see myself on a trike, but this one has panache. Nice paint, RAM air, floor board saddle bag, chromed seat...

It's a modular system on tracks so even a bike that is deeply buried can be retrieved with relative ease.

Nice to see Buell represented - nothing but respect.

A clear agenda was the preservation of VR1000 race bikes.

It was a bit of a blur, but this was a prototype that was never made. A four-leaf clover.

Single cylinder. No brakes. Little suspension. No fenders. Short exhaust. Depression-era paint job. Was told it was a rare racer.

Some interesting bikes hidden away, incredible paint on this one.

Old to new, a little bit of everything.
