Hey folks, don't know how many of you are from or near Wisconsin, but if you need a little vacation, this is pretty cool. It's going on at the Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Museum in Milwaukee. One of the bikes there will be the one Kirk rode on his way to shuttle launch in Star Trek (the silver one that he gave to another officer).

Motorcycles and movies have gone together since the days of silent film. After decades of cameo appearances, Harley-Davidson’s breakthrough role came in 1953 with The Wild One, and in the years since both celebrities and movie characters have relied on motorcycles to express their personality. The Harley-Davidson Museum tells the story of how motorcycles impacted pop culture and "Harleys & Hollywood" shows examples of this ongoing fascination.
See bikes from movies G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Star Trek, Wild Hogs along with bikes owned by Clark Gable, Steve McQueen, Ludacris and Jesse James.
Exhibit runs February 12 - March 14.
Every Thursday at 2PM from February 18 to March 11, join a member of our Archives and Curatorial staff for a gallery talk on Harleys & Hollywood.
Museum Members: See it first and enjoy a gallery talk with Curatorial Director Jim Fricke on February 11 at 5:30PM.
