I got this via email from a local Jersey RAT group. Anyone up for a ride out to Hershey to see this on one of the last two weekends in March? (The exhibit ends March 31). Looks like a great group of bikes, and the rest of the museum seems to have some pretty good stuff (although it's cars, which is only of passing interest to me).

From their inception during the last decade of the 19th century, motorcycles have been associated with speed and excitement, and from then until now literally hundreds of manufacturers have capitalized on that image by investing in racing motorcycles and teams. Many of these well-known and lesser-known marques will be featured in the upcoming “Fast from the Past” exhibit scheduled to open in late May 2009, at the AACA Museum. More than forty motorcycles owned and restored by members of the Antique Motorcycle Club of America will be placed on display; their styles and vintage will cover every era and every aspect of the motorcycle sport, from the fearsome board trackers of the teens to road racers of the 1970’s capable of speeds approaching 200 mph. If speed is your need, you’ll want to see “Fast from the Past” at the AACA Museum.

Reply if you're interested in doing a group ride, indicate your weekend preference (March 20-21 or 27-28) and I'll pull a route together and call the museum to make sure there's secure parking etc., along with scouting out some lunch locations.
