Solvang's Got a Motorcycle Museum! was created by ltdrider
Annette and I were in Solvang, CA last Saturday, and I saw this sign over a 'shop' that said Motorcycle Museum. Well, I stuck my head in the door, and WOW!
$5 per person to get in, and you can take all the pics and video you want.
The collection is owned by one guy, and the museum features about half of his collection.
I shot some video that I'll upload onto Youtube later this week. My home 'puter is too slow.
But here's a pic:

Hi Tim,

Solvang, CA.

How about an address? Looks like he's got a REAL resource there.

Ditto on the sprinkler system.

Thanks

I don't know the exact street address. From Buelton, take the main street into Solvang, and turn right on Alisal. It's about a half mile down, past the big windmill, on the left. There's a sign over the door. The place was deserted. I don't think anyone knows about it. Solvang's kind of a biker destination, and you'd think that the bikers would check it out, if they knew about it.
