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."
