The World of Motorcycles can be studied through the work of the greats at the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum in Pickerington, Ohio. Here there are displays of bikes belonging to a long line of well know people as well as the story of how some of the motorcycles were designed and built.
You will be able to see the work of Arlen Ness, a 1922 Hall of Fame inductee who is known as the king of choppers. The exhibit chronicles his life and highlights the motorcycles from his career. Quite an experience for those that love motorcycles!
Just look a the Top Banana, Smooth-Ness, Jet Bike, Untouchable and the Ness-Stalgia which was created in 1957. All of this is just a start on all there is to see at the museum.
For an Ohio attraction for the motorcycle lovers you would be hard pressed to find anyplace better or more interesting than the museum. Plan to spend the best part of a day looking over the wide range of bikes on display and reading about them and their history.
With a low admission charge of just $10 for adults and kids under 11 being free it would be a great place to visit.
The Motorcycle Hall of Fame Gallery recognizes those who have made significant contributions to motorcycling whether is was in business, history, design or engineering as well as those know for their contributions to road riding, off-road riding and all types of motorcycle racing.
It features interesting innovations in design like the Tiger 100 which used gears instead of a chain to drive the camshaft, and both cylinders were fed by a single Amal carburetor, which was possible thanks to the 360-degree firing interval of the two cylinders. Or the Harley Davidson “Hill Climber - The 74-cubic-inch (1,230cc) JDH engine was used as a base. Ketzel then incorporated flywheels from a 1929 61-cubic-inch (1,000cc) JE. The cylinders are based on a design from a 1930 21-cubic-inch (350cc) “Peashooter,” a single- cylinder Harley. But this set was specially cast at the Harley factory to Ketzel’s specs. Only 12 were ever made. The overhead-valve heads, meanwhile, came from two stock Peashooter engines.
