As a Ladson motorcycle accident attorney, I love visiting motorcycle museums. One of the best museums is the Harley-Davidson Museum with a current exhibit that is not to be missed. Collection X: Weird Wild Wonders of the Harley-Davidson Museum® runs through August 21, 2011, and is certain to be the most fascinating, intriguing, and exciting exhibition you’ve ever seen.

Unusual machines, amazing art, and incredible inventions abound in this exhibit housed in The Garage on the Harley-Davidson Museum campus. Part of the largest Harley-Davidson collection in the world, this exhibit comes straight from the Harley archives and includes:

• A variety of novelty and unique vehicles from Harley-Davidson as well as other manufacturers.
• Clothing and gear ranging from practical to stylish.
• Photographs from the Harley-Davidson archives.
• Previously hidden historical objects and a large variety of memorabilia and artifacts from other collections.
• All types of art by motorcycle and Harley enthusiasts.
• Collectible and unusual motorcycle-themed merchandise that will make you say either, “Why didn’t I think of that?” or “What on earth were they thinking when they came up with that?”
• Special activities for kids, including a secret code that needs to be broken.

Open since 2008, the Harley-Davidson Museum is located in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and is open 7 days a week year-round. Hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday through Wednesday and 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday. The museum includes exhibits that highlight the people and machines that made Harley-Davidson what it is today, including over 450 bikes and thousands of artifacts. The Shop, the museum’s gift shop, is across the street and features plenty of Harley-Davidson themed items.

The Harley-Davidson Museum also offers educational programs for all ages, including motorcycle maintenance classes, earning a Boy Scout engineering merit badge, and touring the Pilgrim Road Powertrain Operations Facility. In addition, the museum offers children’s birthday parties and tours behind the scenes.

We see riders in Hanahan, Folly Beach, and Ladson who ride some beautiful Harleys, and we’re looking forward to seeing this exhibit.

Have you been to the Harley-Davidson Museum, and what was your favorite artifact or exhibit?

I was born and raised in Long Island, New York and graduated from the State University of New York at Stony Brook. Shortly after graduation, I relocated to the South, where I have been proud to call my home for the past 20 years. As I often say, I may be Northern by birth, but I am certainly Southern by choice!

Before entering the legal field, I worked in various aspects of office administration, property management, real estate marketing and sales, container ship cost control operations, and elementary education.

I just received my Paralegal Certificate from Trident Technical College and am so fortunate to join the Uricchio Law Firm. Everyone is so helpful and knowledgeable. I am so glad to be part of this team!

The defendants have agreed to pull all the merchandise referencing the Hells Angels, including a knuckle-duster ring (retailing for $495) and a “Hells Angels Jacquard Box Dress” (retailing for $1,565). But it doesn’t stop there – the stores will also be required to recall any merchandise that has already been sold and destroy it.

It takes much more than cash to wear that logo!
