This link is to a new exhibit about Rollie Free at the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa, IA...(conveniently on the way to the Wisconsin Moto Guzzi Rally!):

Do NOT click on it if you are offended by motorcycles, motorcycle racing, or half-naked men...

Rollie, wasn't he an Indiana guy?  Indian rider that hated Harleys.

I can't think of any motorcycle more valuable than that Vincent Black Lightning, in deference to the Guzzi V8.

Every time I see that picture I wonder how he didn't develop the dreaded speed wobble. The front is completely unloaded.

I didn’t know there was a national motorcycle museum.  Anyone been there?  Worth seeing?

Very well done displays.  It's about one hour south of the IA Rally.  Combine the two for a great weekend!   :thumb:

If you are going there and have other VTwins you ride get your list together cause JP Cycle is around there too.
If you haven't been to the museum I would put it on your list.

  Rollie Free was not only batshit crazy, he was batshit fast.
 Well he wasn't that crazy, he did wear a helmet.
 I tried his riding position and got my R 26 BMW up to 120 KPH.
 That is one royal hair less than 75 mph!
 I was half assed fast as Rollie.
