Good article!
This is a world class facility and world class race track. I was there last Fall during Vintage Fest and it was amazing! I even got some respect for my home built Higgins among some incredible show bikes!

I saw the posters there for this year's event, but it will be a long while before I'm able to get back there again. We were gone for 12 days on this road trip of ours and we sort of broke the bank. 
Meals, hotels, gas a souvenirs for 5 people and 2985 miles of driving tends to put the hurt on your nest egg.
Actually, our stop in Gatlinburg for two nights is what really did us in.

Only 276 photos?
Awesome museum! I saw pretty much a ballpark version of every motorcycle I've owned except one (in way, way, better shape...of course)...didn't see a Matchless (I had a basket case forever ago that never made it out of the basket before I sold it).
...and my favorite marque, Vincent, aside from the lawnmower, was absent. I may have missed one, though, there was a lot to take in

Chances are, I didn't take photos of the bikes you mentioned....they had just about everything.
Steve,
Thank you for taking all the wonderful pictures, They are quite detailed and makes me feel like I've been there! Must be quite the place they even have the exhibited bikes and cars carefully lit.

I've made a mental note, that if traveling anywhere within a state of this museum...it is a must see
. I'm actually trying to justify a very southern route to go visit my Brother's family in Indiana...it would be a VERY southern route

I liked the, "Dan Gurney for President,"...it is much less crazy than the choices the major parties are giving us
