When visitors come to Hartford, a short day trip is in demand to see 
the treasures of the Bluegrass Motorcycle Museum.&nbsp; Owned and operated by
 Jack Embry and his wife Nancy, the displays boast over 20 vintage, 
American made motorcycles, and 30 years’ worth of motorcycle 
memorabilia.&nbsp; Even before the museum was opened in the mid-90s, Mr. 
Embry’s passion for restoring antique motorcycles drew onlookers from 
near and far.&nbsp; To date, the couple states that
 they have hosted guests from 29 states and 6 countries.&nbsp; Jack, also 
well-known as “Hombre” to the local population and his motorcycle 
fraternity brothers, takes pride in the fact that many of his historical
 bikes are all original and road-ready.
The oldest bike displayed is a 1911 Yale, with a tandem seat and 
original paint designs.&nbsp; This rare, early 20th century bike is the only 
one still in existence today.&nbsp; A 1915 Shaw is decked out in its original
 red and white paintjob, wheels carved from wood, carbide lamp, and 
well-worn leather.&nbsp; Jack’s 1930 Harley Davidson V Model is a special 
display with original solo seat and color scheme.&nbsp; One of the most 
interesting pieces is a 1955 Harley Davidson 55L 1736, boasting an 
original model sidecar in tow.&nbsp; Perhaps the most valuable motorcycle in 
the museum is the 1912 Eagle that was manufactured in Brockton, 
Massachusetts.&nbsp; Only 10 of these originals exist today, and only four 
are still operable.&nbsp; Jack’s Eagle is one of the four rarities, and is 
the only bike that still has the original paintjob.&nbsp; Currently, Jack is 
working on a restoration project involving a 1906 Indian, which has 
already consumed three years of hard work.The museum also holds several pieces of historical and limited 
edition manufacturers’ memorabilia.&nbsp; Helmets and gloves, jackets and 
vests, and bottles and ashtrays displaying motorcycle ornamentation of 
all types may be seen here.&nbsp; Included in this collection are an Indian 
glass candy dish made in 1918, as well as a 1950 Indian belt buckle and 
lighter combination.
All displays and motorcycles are absolutely rare and mostly 
original.&nbsp; Jack continues to restore historical bikes and memorabilia 
for personal fulfillment and public viewing. 1<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.kentuckybeautiful.com/western/bluegrass-motorcycle-museum.html">http://www.kentuckybeautiful.com/western/bluegrass-motorcycle-museum.html</a>
