    I really had mixed feelings watching this video. I live about 20 miles from that museum (National Motorcycle Museum). I have visited it many times since it first opened. The local community really hated to see it go. The museum was the creation of the late John Parnham who founded J&P Cycles. Most of the bikes were from his personal collection. Some bikes were on loan from local owners.
    The museum survived for 20 years but unfortunately it was located in an out-of-the-way location in Anamosa, Iowa. His wife kept it going after John's death but it just didn't receive enough visitors to cover its operating expenses. If it had been located 30 miles south on Interstate 80 I believe it would have thrived and still be here. It was the finest motorcycle museum and had the most diverse collection that I have ever visited. Its collection has now been scattered everywhere. It will be missed.

    @daveco1270 Před 8 měsíci +1

    Matt is going to love that one. Its really cool to see Sean getting into vintage bikes. The BSA would have been cool to have. The auction people and the museum screwed that up. Imagine if you were at the auction with a small budget (5 to 8 grand) hoping to get one bike. You bid on the BSA and win it... then you don't bid on anything else because you've spent most the money you brought to the auction. Then at the end when you go to get your bike you find out it's been given back to the owner. That would suck. I saw a pretty clean running BSA Lightening for 2500 on marketplace a few weeks back. That was a great deal. They're normally 5 or 6 grand.

Sammy himself is still around and working on the bikes - it's your kind of place.
