Off Beat Hump Day Special!
Today for Off Beat Hump Day, I’ll walk you through some of the bikes at Motorcyclepedia. It’s a brand new motorcycle museum in Newburgh, NY, about 20 minutes from where I grew up so I’m already biased.
They have tons of vintage bikes, movie bikes, custom choppers, but their main focus are Indian bikes.
Stay tuned for photos ;)
