Moto Museum

I recently rode the Nun to Moto Europa in Downtown St. Louis for a minor adjustment.

While I was there I visited the Moto Museum next door. Wow. What a great collection of vintage motorcycles.

Here's my favorite, the Bohmerland three-seater. Click on the pics to enlarge them.


Dig those crazy cast-iron wheels, baby. That is one super-funky motorcycle. Talk about Steam Punk.



"Bohmerland" means "Bohemian." And yes, it's a Czechoslovakian machine. This one is a 1927 model with a 600 cc engine.

Don't you just want to fire this monster up and see if you can get it around the block without crashing? I sure do.

I haven't been to the adjacent "Triumph Cafe" yet. Maybe next time.
