The Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum (near Columbus) is having the first British & European Motorcycle Weekend on June 10th. It looks like a good place for some of us to meet up, see some great bikes, and show the BMW people what Triumphs look like.

Does anyone plan to go?

Raproe - we're going to be traveling the SouthWest on our trusty Bonnies at that time, and won't be able to attend.

However, I've ridden to the museum several times, and for an enjoyable ride instead of hauling a** down I-71, check out US 62. There's several ways I get to it, but the easiest to describe is:
Rt 21 to Rt 585 to Wooster
Take Rt83 south out of Wooster thru Millersburg.
Just south of town, take right turn onto Rt62 (west)
Run 62 to Johnstown, take left in middle of town
Once you go left and ride for a few miles, there's a route # I don't remember that turns to the right, and practically takes you to the museum.

Of course, as you get closer to the museum, it gets flatter and less interesting. But for much of the ride, you'll be on some sweet roads. The museum has little or no signage on the road going in. I miss the turnoff every time!

PS: a word of caution - if you take this route, watch for radar as you ride downhill into Amity, Ohio. Seems to be the chief revenue generator in town.

I really WANT to go but can't. That just happens to be the weekend of our big church "Fun and Food Fest" and we have lined up entertainment, etc. The ole pastor just can't not be there. &&^%$*&(*)^!!!

So, since I have a relatively rare in the US 1983 Honda CB550SC Nighthawk Sue and I plan to go the weekend before for antique Japanese motorcycles. Would much prefer to go the the one for Brit and Euro bikes, but that's how the cookie crumbles some times.

Incidentally, I haven't yet seen the BMW exhibit which I understand will be pulled out at the end of June. So that should be a nice side benefit of either weekend.

Enjoy.

Monte
