Guzzis at Bill’s Old Bike Barn, Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania

[Dirk_S]

A couple weeks ago I rode to Pennsylvania to visit friends, family, and hike the 31-mile West Rim Trail hike along Pine Creek Gorge (PA Grand Canyon). On my way back to Maine, I stopped at Bill’s Old Bike Barn, located near Williamsport (north-central PA), my first ever visit there. Much of the building is set up as a tiny village, with small ‘stores and shops’ full of collections galore and vintage motorcycles sitting around everywhere (about half of them American brands).

I was pleasantly surprised to enter a room full of mostly old Italian and BMW bikes, including quite a number of Guzzis, some BMWs, and a Zundapp among others.

Of the Guzzis, he had a few singles, a Le Mans I, a Mule and dump truck (trikes), a Galletto (swoon!), and an Eldorado that was the 2nd Guzzi he sold back in the 60s when he was a dealer.

Here are the Guzzis that I took photos of. All of the pics I took during my visit can be viewed by following this link:

That's a great place, try to make it annually. Guzzi Land was the first place I saw a Mule and the Parcel Delivery Vehicle and Dump Truck.... Is also quite the 'collectors' dream. Impressive collection of Harley Singles and other oddities. Bill has to be getting up there in years.

If anyone is crossing PA N-S on 81, or E-W on 80, it is worth a visit.

Lovely to see a Mechanical Mule in there !!!!!!

Love the place.  Been a couple of times. Spotted this poster up on their wall. Edward "Lucky" Thiebault lived in Brockton MA and, among other things, was a Certified Public Accountant. In fact he was my accountant for about 10 years. He had some stories to tell. Small world.

Thanks for the post.
I've rode that area many times and had no idea of that establishment. Will check it out next time I'm in the area.
