It’s been 25 years since the Guggenheim Museum first celebrated the art of the motorcycle with its acclaimed exposition (you’ve already guessed…), THE ART OF THE MOTORCYCLE.

To truly fall in love with a motorcycle you need to see them, touch them and know their story. And through his masterful creation of the Haas Moto Museum, the late Bobby Haas allowed tens of thousands of people to experience those three elements of appreciation and step into a space that tells the great epic of both man and machine. Not everyone can make it to the museum in Dallas, but now you can have the museum delivered to you.

The motorcycle has been around, in one form or another, for over one hundred and twenty years. It started life as a humble bicycle, until some enterprising genius decided to strap in an exploding contraption to its chassis, and the rest became history. In that one hundred plus years of vehicular evolution, the motorcycle went through one innovation after another until we'd finally arrived at something like the LiveWire ONE.

A fortnight ago we showcased the sensational Moto Guzzi sidecar, Mister Fahrenheit, dreamed up by the late great Bobby Haas and brought to life by the master Craig Rodsmith, for their attempt on a world land speed record. Now we can announce a captivating new documentary feature film, from Dallas-based award-winning filmmaker Michael Rowley: Racing Mister Fahrenheit.

Immerse yourself in the evolution of the motorcycle at Haas Moto Museum & Sculpture Gallery, which features 230 motorcycles built over 13 decades. Start at History Hall and walk through motorcycles of the past in chronological order, from 19th-century bike frame to today’s uber-modern road warriors.

A thousand miles is the distance you have to travel from the home of Haas in Dallas, Texas, to the home of Harley-Davidson in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. But as The Proclaimers sang, to walk that 500 miles and then walk 500 more, is much more about the dream, the work and the reality of what awaits, than it is simply about the trip itself. And this is the story of three of the greatest custom motorcycles ever built making that trek north.

The front door to the museum opens into History Hall. It’s the largest room and it houses over 70 motorcycles going back to 1899 (a Peugeot Tricycle). The machines are arranged chronologically and are a mix of restored and preserved examples. Each motorcycle is rare and special and has a bit of its story summarized on its placard. The Hall contains machines from all over the world and, while most of the machines are displayed as stand-alone objects, there are some themes to the displays as well.
