The Arvada Center has had a display of motorcycles this summer, which I finally went to see on Sunday. They are all from the Matthews collection and while he is not Jay Leno it is still pretty impressive. All of these were taken with my K10D and the 18-55mm lens.

Italian bikes from the 50's just scream "Welcome to the World of Tomorrow!


1954 Hydra Glide




The beautiful 1938 Brough Superior




The original Sportster (then called the Model K)


An Ariel Square Four


A bright red Moto Guzzi single


And of course a 1956 Vincent Black Shadow

Good shots Mark, That first bike looks like it came from the outer regions of some other galaxy! What the hell is it?

Nice bikes Kind of sad though, I think they want to be ridden. I've got a sportie so I'll volunteer for the vincent.

It's an Aermacchi from the mid 1950's. I don't remember what model it is but does certainly look like it came from "The Jetsons", doesn't it?
