Time to visit the museum of classic mobility on wheels "AMERICAN MOTORCYCLE MUSEUM @ Raalte, NL"
|
Very fine Collection of American bikes! |
At the age of 25, Max Middelbosch bought, together with his wife Ans, his first Harley-Davidson. It was an 'Electra Glide', which he liked because of its style, sound and character.
Together they started riding through Europe, many times to destinations in far communist east. And a lifelong passion was born.

Still family business ... |
Now the collection consists of about 150 American motorcycles, mostly Harley-Davidson and Indian. The American motorcycle which is still produced and was produced the most, is Harley-Davidson, so this motorcycle is best represented in the collection. But motorcycles such as Ace, Excelsior, Henderson, Thor, Rikuo, Super X and Mabeco are also exhibited in the museum.
The museum gives an overview of American motorcycles produced between the beginning of 1900 to the 1980's.
