We leave the Hourglass Cycles, kickstands up, at 10am. We will get to lunch at Mickey Pigg's between 11:30 and 11:45 , depending on the size and speed of the group.
* The trip from Hourglass to Mickey Piggs is almost exactly 50 miles and is all two lane back roads, no highway.
After Lunch, Kyle Campbell will lead everyone to his parents house via some nice backroads, where the museum / house is. I’d rather not give out my parents personal address and post it online, so anyone that wants to go will have to be at Mickey Piggs when we leave. (guessing kickstands up to head to the museum approx. 12:45pm)
* From Mickey Piggs to the house I have about a 20-30 min ride planned — it won’t be the most direct route but I’m planning on taking everyone down some really good back country two lanes. All the roads up there are nice with not much traffic. It will be easy to keep the group together up there.
Arrival at the museum / house will be around 1:15pm. We will have coolers with drinks there and there are two bathrooms everyone is welcome to use while there. There is also a pool table and a “den” area if some folks would like to relax while waiting on the rest of the group.
The Campbell's have somewhere around 30 motorcycles up there and they range from mid 40’s to new stuff and include European, American and Japanese bikes. All the walls are covered in motorcycle memorabilia going back to the 50’s, most of it is original and there is a good amount of old racing posters and stuff around. There’s lots of stuff for a motorcycle fan to look at. We've also got some hot rods and old cars if anyone is interested in them.
Message from Kyle:
Everyone can take as much time as they want to at the Museum, when we have taken groups up there in the past they often spend about an hour or so looking around at the bikes and memorabilia. From there I can go ride with some folks and there are multiple options. I know at 2-2:30 in the afternoon there will be some folks that want to head home and some that want to keep riding. I figured we could play that by ear and whoever wants to continue on I can show them the way up north… I also know some decent routes from there that would probably take them on some new roads. I’ll get some options together between now and then.
Also, here’s a link to the article that was recently written about us in Motorcycle Classics Magazine. Gives a good background of our story concerning motorcycles and some real nice pictures of the museum.
