Hoover, check out the website link that Nature Boy posted. The website states that the grand opening is June 4th and it will be a big opening with free giveaways.

It's a huge undertaking to open any kind of business. The group opening this is probably spending big $$$$ knowing that immediate return is going to happen. I feel that they should be applauded for their efforts.

Stopped by the other day. The owner was outside, so I pulled in. I asked if I would get a discount, being that I ride a retired Police bike myself...

He is making great strides, spoke of possibly a soft opening before the Grand Opening. I can't wait to see what's inside!

natureboy79 · 05-15-2011, 04:13 PM

haha boater, what did he say about your discount? What are you riding? I ride an 88 fxr police bike myself.

07 FLHTPI Electra Glide Police.

I looked inside the other day. Still does not look like anything going on. saw two bikes and a mannequin inside. They have a long way to go.

Went to their website. Sounds interesting, but don't know if many people are going to spend $12.to see it. I went to the Henry Ford Museum a few years ago and it was less $$$

Story with photos in today's Union Leader. Can someone post a link?

We went by on Thursday, there was an "open" sign. It is across from Ippolito's Furniture.

My husband went in and liked the bikes on display, but with a $10 admission he won't be going back.

Stop by there on satuday around noon there were 5 cars in pklt (think they where the staff ) five of us walked up to door and admission was $11 per adult, we turned around and walked out

joann721 · 06-13-2011, 03:24 PM

wow- we drove by it this past weekend and decided that this probably wasnt the weekend to check it out - I think $10 a person is a bit pricey...

The funny thing about Police Motorcycles...Other than the decade they were produced...they were by design.. all alike.

In the case of Harley, the only thing that changed was the engine....and then only marginally. Harley engines changed about every 20 years...but only in the "Top End". The "Top End" was the cylinder heads and valves.

HARLEY: There was the "Flat Head". Then there was the "Knuckle Head". Then there was the "Pan Head". then there was the "Shovel Head." Then there is the...*****Head". I can't remember.... which is still current after 20 years. . The basic Harley engine is the same engine as 60 years ago. Oh Wait..they have fuel injection now.

Indian had a few Police Bikes way back when Harley was their only competitor.

There was a Kawasaki Police Bike (Ref: Tv Series: Chips)

Harley's are still the choice of municipalities because they are American...and they seem to be suited to slow speed cruising such as Motorcades and Funerals.

Just an observation.

Here is another case of charge to much...no customers. Lower to $5.00 you would get twice as many people going in. more cars in the lot entice more people to wonder what is going on and stop as well.
Just like gas. Charge too much. I'm not stopping in. Charge less I'm stopping and more than likely going in to buy food, lottery tickets etc....
I just can't understand the way some people think. Just another interesting place that will be gone tomorrow.
