If
you believe that two wheels move the soul, then you won t want to miss 'The Wind
in Your Hair: Vintage Motorcycles', an exhibit featuring nearly 30 vintage
motorcycles from 1900 to 1970 , motorcycle related photography and
sculpture made from re-cycled motorcycle parts.
Motorcycles
like ACE, BMW, Cushman, Douglas, Indian, Harley, Excelsior,
Motomarini, Triumph, Sunbeam , Velocette, and more will be
featured in this spectacular collection of vintage motorcycles.
One
of the oldest bikes featured in the exhibit will be a 1911 Yale,
with a tandem seat and original paint designs. This rare, early 20th
century bike is the only one still in existence today. Perhaps the most
valuable motorcycle in the exhibition will be the 1912 Eagle that was
manufactured in Brockton, Massachusetts. Ten of
these originals exist today, and only four are still operable. This particular
Eagle is one of the four rarities, and is the only bike that still has the
original paintjob.
Another
not-to-be-missed bike in the exhibition is a 1906 Indian, which was restored in
2006. These three bikes hail from Jack Embry's collection. Mr. Embry is the
owner of The Bluegrass Motorcycle Museum of Hartford, Kentucky.
In
addition to motorcycles, the Wind in Your Hair will include photographs by
Michael Lichter, Danny Lyon and Sarah Lyon. Each photographer, in his or
her own work, represents the passion that people have for motorcycles and the
lifestyle

Bird, at Gearhead Designs in Keller, Texas, creates distinctive table lamps, desk
lamps and
wall sconces from non-running motorcycle parts for your home or office.
'I like finding new ways to use old
or worn out pieces and try look at these machines from a new
perspective.'
