Bills Old Bike Barn. Bloomsburg Pa.

We visited this museum last weekend. Well worth the 5 dollar entrence fee.
We spent perhaps 1-2 hours there, but if one were to delve into the massive amount of stuff there they could easily double that. it is literally full wall to ceiling with stuff, but nicely presented and organized. Mostly Harley related, but they also had a lot of cool oddball Harley stuff- a snowmobile, dirtbikes, scooters, at least one Aremacci Harley, and even Harley bicycles...There were also some Indians, and some euro bikes-Moto Guzzis, Triumphs, a Velocette, a 1914 Triumph plus others. I also liked their philosophy..If they aquired a fully operational machine it is left alone, and displayed in as is condition.
There was also some non bike related stuff, equally interesting
A few photos....

This 2 stroke Puch was one of my faves

1914 Triumph

JAP engined speedway bike

Been there a few times, real cool place, The owner can be quite rude though not a real people person.

He seemed ok when we went inside..One of his employees we talked to later, was quite nice, and seemed to know just about every machine in the building, and its history. Just a regular cyclist chatting with fellow riders. He seemed to have appreciation for all marques of cycles...

Someone with the time and skill should make some of these old patches again. I personally would like one of the "You just got Suzukied" ones about 6 inches tall and about 12 inches long for right across the shoulder on the back of my jacket.

What on earth is that blue & white sidecar scooter ... and where do I get one?

The scooter is a Harley Davidson Topper. Late 60s if I remember correctly.
