THE CANADIAN MOTORCYCLE HERITAGE MUSEUM

MUSEUM ROADSHOW UPDATES

By Museum Chairman Bar Hodgson

As a travelling Motorcycle RoadShow the Museum assembles many displays at various motorcycle Shows, Race Tracks, Events and Functions, many themed and tailored to fit the occasion such as racing, vintage, international and always with a focus on Canadian Heritage. These RoadShow displays provide an excellent opportunity for motorcycle fans to see firsthand motorcycles with a distinct Canadian cultural significance; many built, raced, tuned, or ridden by noted Canadian motorcyclists.

These RoadShow displays also assist greatly with the Museum's fundraising activities and provide fresh opportunities for public donations of motorcycles, memorabilia and much needed financial support.
