The
Great New York
Motorcycle Show
December
9, 2000/April 10, 2001
New
York State Museum
Exhibition
Hall
In
the early days of motor transportation,
New
York made important contributions
to
the development and production
of
motorcycles.
This
exhibition will recreate the
atmosphere
of a 1910 period trade
show,
in which motorcycle makers
showed
their wares to potential dealers and
buyers
in arenas fitted with individual
display
booths.
About
35 motorcycles from the 1890s
through
the 1970s will be displayed. All of
the
motorcycles are loaned to the
museum
from private collectors
or
other museums and were built in
New
York State.
Concurrently,
the Museum plans to publish
an
encyclopedia of New York motorcycle
builders
titled "The Motorcycle Industry in
New
York State: A Concise Encyclopedia
of
Inventors, Builders and Manufacturers."
