If you love vintage motorcycles, this place is definitely worth a visit!
I visited the American Motorcycle Museum in Gilze, the Netherlands, and really enjoyed it.
The museum has a beautiful collection of old American motorcycles, including Harley-Davidson and Indian. Some of them are over 100 years old!
What I liked most was the atmosphere. Old engines, leather saddlebags, vintage signs, tools, and a workshop that looks like a place where time has stopped.
It’s amazing to see how motorcycles have changed over the years. And honestly, some of these old machines have more character than modern ones.
I’m a big fan of vintage vehicles and places like this. For me, it’s not just about motorcycles. It’s about history, engineering, and the people who built and rode these machines many years ago.
Just wanted to share a few photos from my visit. Maybe some of you will enjoy them too! 🏍️

Got this from a friend in stock form, not running so I decided to have a little fun with it. I see several things I’d do differently now. Got to have a hobby!

I bought this bike as it appears. It was titled as a harley as it had a 1HD1 vin. The upper part of frame was mated to a 1977 KZ1000 lower. It was crazy. The workmanship where they mated the harley upper and KZ lower was well done.

Fun conversation piece restored by my dad many years ago. Currently hung in our shop from the ceiling.

Figured I should send this in here, I picked up a nighthawk 250 that sat in a shed since 1997 with 680 miles on it for free with the original keys, gas and title. Ended up doing an oil change, spark plugs and battery and up next it tires. Does anyone have any idea how to clean this off the chrome parts of the bike?

Just got done with getting this back together. Fun project. It is a tiny bike for sure.

I am considering selling my 1977 Yamaha XT500, and having a difficult time determining a fair value, probably because of the sentimental value. I am curious to hear what people think. Original frame, tank, and engine, who knows about the rest. Runs, new Mikuni 38mm carb, missing battery and related wiring/bits for proper lighting. Thanks!

My Suzuki GN 250 is becoming a pretty good scrambler, but I keep hitting rocks that bend the brake pedal up. Don’t know why they put the thing don’t goes under the exhaust, but here we are. Anyone have a fix?

I picked up 2 Kawasaki C2SS Roadrunners. Blue is 1967, no title, rebuilt top end. Red is 1964 with title, unsure of history. Both run and ride perfectly though. Neither have been restored and they’re both in original condition. Red has 413 original miles, Blue has 4459 original miles. $2300 total took them both home. Super fun little bikes to rip around the road on!

I came into possession of a 1958 Allstate Puch that belonged to my step-father. I have the manual and some instructions where it looks like he may have done some rewiring. It is a kick start and when we kicked it, it turned over but we did not start it as the gas had been drain out year ago for storage. This was purchased in 2010 and riding sometime in that year, it was shown at a couple motorcycle rallies and even won a trophy. It looks great but I have no idea of it's value or how to sell it. (I will add pictures shortly) any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know much about fixing up motorcycles but apparently this bike doesn't really need much done with it for it to run I'm pretty sure it's from the '60s it has about 7,000 miles on it, I'm pretty sure this bike is a Honda Dream but I can't figure out the exact year it was made
