sassnetguy50 Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 The National Motorcycle Museum closes permanently this evening. Mecum will auction everything starting Wednesday. Quality auction houses like Mecum are a great place to browse for high quality pictures of motorcycles regardless of your ability to buy. https://www.mecum.com/auctions/from-the-john-parham-estate-collection/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyesa Horg Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 What a shame to lose a museum like that. Some rich sobs will be getting some incredible bikes and memorabilia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 It was an amazing place. The board track racing display was really well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyesa Horg Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Wish we had gotten there. On our way to one of Harley's birthday parties, we got a private tour of the AMA museum, but didn't have time enroute for both. Bummer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a H-D museum out east if here in Dewey, but it closed down a few years back. I'm not into motorcycles, but it's still a shame to lose that history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP McLintock Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Most of it has to do with the people that are into history and most motorcycles are getting old and disappearing, thats how i ended up with my ultra, the previous owner got old and couldn't ride anymore, and nobody was interested in buying the bike, i made a stupid low offer and he took it.
