The Harley-Davidson Museum occasionally opens its doors on Collection X, the strangest exhibits from its archives. CNET checks out the extreme ends bikers will go to worship motorcycles and riding.
Motorcycle wrapped in leather
MILWAUKEE--The Harley-Davidson Museum's Collection X assembles the stranger exhibits from the history of motorcycles and biker culture, including rare motorcycles, artwork, prototypes, concept designs, and machines that managed extreme driving feats.
CNET got to visit Collection X, which will be on display through August 22, during a recent trip to the Milwaukee area to tour both the Powertrain Operations factory and the Harley-Davidson Museum.
A highlight of Collection X is the 2000 Red Moon Evo Chopper. Twenty Japanese artists took two years to hand-stitch fine warm-hued leather over every inch of this high-handlebar motorcycle, including engine parts.
