The American Motorcycle Association Hall of Fame just outside Columbus, OH: it is more about motorcycling than motorcycles, although they had 100 or so with a nice historical overview and even a lovely art presentation. The AMA has a powerful lobbying group in DC. Thanks to them we still have motorcycles on the road.

Another treat was found at my destination at Brother Ted and wife Carol. Carol has a lovely fairy garden; she could charge admission. Thanks to them I had a great dinner and an easy night after 500 miles (too many). Ted was also a great help installing a blue tooth transmitter and receiver in my helmet that “talks” wirelessly with my GPS and iPhone. Back in day, I used a map and magnetic compass. I will let you know if all this fancy technology improves the ride.
