Stop Chronic Boredom With This BMW Museum

Do you know why July 20, 2005 was a historic day for BMW?

After much anticipation and excitement, Pickerington, Ohio opened a new exhibit at its “Motorcycle Hall Of Fame Museum”. And the name of the new exhibit could not possibly have been chosen better. The name of its new exhibit said it all, “BMW: The Mastery Of Speed.” You can almost feel the wind rushing past your head, can’t you?

On loan from the Peter Nettesheim collection, this display included many seldom seen machines that are historically important to the development of BMW motorcycles. In addition, the exhibit includes many pictures and artifacts from Mobile Tradition. Just in case you aren’t aware, and very few of us are, Mobile Tradition is the division of BMW that is dedicated to preserving the company’s heritage.
