Looking for a home for a special motorcycle to be displayed and preserved. I have contacted Barber, Solvang, and Moto Talbot.

Does anyone know if Jameson Classic Motorcycle Museum is still open? Not able to connect via their www. I think I remember a thread on here about them closing.

Any others???

Thank you.
 
I only see activity at Jameson's in PG on weekends, so maybe try and contact them on Saturday....:dunno

I have heard that the Talbott in Carmel Valley will be closing sometime this fall.
 
Solvang replied. They stopped buying 4 years ago. Sad to see that Talbot may be closing. MotoDoffo looks interesting. I'll contact them. Thanks.

Sad to hear.

Agree on the wonderful environment to look at bikes close up.
Nice people. Seemed like one guy was constantly cleaning.. Proper :laughing
 
Thanks. 2 more to contact. Wheels thru Time and Canepa. Clicking on current inventory of MC's on Canepa reveals 1 bike though. It does look like a cool place to go check out in person.
 
Gotta go to Talbott's NOW!!! OK, say August 9? 10?
SOOOON!!!
 
Maybe Sunday…
 
I guess I will be heading there Saturday. I don't know how I missed Talbot's before. Thanks for posting
