Kaplan Cycles & the New England Motorcycle Museum - Rockville, Connecticut

Very impressive facility! I've bought 2 motorcycles from them and both transactions went great.

Strong presence in social media - mostly You Tube.

Here's the latest updates......



(I have no affiliation other than as a fan of their operations)

 

Kaplan is about a 2 hr drive east from my old hometown. I'm planning on checking it out on one of my returns to NY.

 

Here's another cool motorcycle museum that was in the next town over from my old hometown. The Doering family owns this as well as V Twin Manufacturing. Big names in the American motorcycle industry. They had to open this museum after their collection grew to this size.

They even have my old work bike displayed in the museum. I put about 10k on this before I switched over to another dept division (K9). Motorcyclepedia requested the bike to display and ultimately made a deal to purchase a new HD as a replacement for acquire an old one.



Here's one of me on that bike. It was renumbered from 519 to 542 after I was out of the unit.

 

Nice! By then they will be done with all these renovations. I've checked out a few more updates since the one I posted and things are moving along nicely there. Remarkable to have such a facility for all those cycles!

Cool photo of you from "back in the day"......thanks for your service to the community!

 

great job ppreserving old bikes, but somone wonders where all that kaplan $$$$$ mega-money came from and why theyre investing big in uncertain times in an aging market
