The National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa, Iowa, has more than 300 beautiful bikes on display, including this Thor, a company that was very active between 1907 and 1919.
Also, I wanted to visit the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa, Iowa, and this was my opportunity. We have the better part of a dozen major motorcycle museums in this country, as well as a couple of dozen less formal ones, but I had never been to that one. Not that I knew where Anamosa was. Having just escaped the confines of Chicago, I pulled over at a rest stop on Illinois’ Ronald Reagan Memorial Tollway( heck of a way to be remembered, constantly asking for money) to have a look at the map. I saw that Anamosa was on Route 64, a state route number shared by Illinois and Iowa, and the tollway was equidistant from U. S. 30 and Route 64— I went north and picked up 64.
