Bluegrass Motorcycle Museum in Hartford, Kentucky

Let's rev up our engines—this is a museum that roars. Jack Embry of Hartford displays his collection of vintage motorcycles at his Bluegrass Motorcycle Museum. His passion for motorcycles includes restoring them, and many of these rare bikes are ready to hit the highway. In fact, Embry and his grandson get two 100-year-old motorcycles going at the same time for our cameras.

The Bluegrass Motorcycle Museum is located in Embry's private home and is available to tour by appointment only. He shared with us the highlights—more 20 American-made motorcycles as well as motorcycle memorabilia he has collected over the past 30 years.

Since the invention of the first gas-engine motorcycle in 1885, the look of these bikes has changed dramatically. This Kentucky collection features early motorcycles from revered names in the industry—a 1911 Yale, a 1912 Eagle, a 1915 Shaw—as well as later models like Harley Davidsons.
