Motorcyclepedia Museum's Bike of the week: 1965 Triumph T20SR Sports Cub. Motorcyclepedia Museum co-founder Ted Doering's 1st bike!

Ted’s father Jerry Doering purchased the bike new in 1964 from Al Weinert’s Motorcycle in Middletown, NY, trading a 1938 Farmall “H” model tractor plus $300 for the $550 motorcycle. Ted later used this motorcycle to take his motorcycle road test and commuted on it to Newburgh Free Academy High School during the 1966-1967 school term. Designed by the legendary English motorcycle designer Edward Turner, who served as Chief Executive of the BSA Group. This export only model is incredibly rare. Only 571 T20SR models were manufactured in 1965 out of 814 total production runs from 1961-1965. While most went to the US East Coast, about two thirds of the 1965 production went west. This particular survivor uniquely bridges two variations; it carries a T20SR engine number but is equipped with the high level exhaust of a T20SC built for off roading.

Come see it in person at Motorcyclepedia Museum & explore over 750 motorcycles and countless pieces of memorabilia! 250 Lake Street, Newburgh, New York. Open Thursdays 4pm-8pm. Friday, Saturday, & Sunday 10am-4pm

One of the rarest Harley-Davidson Motorcycles, the 1942 XA, 45 cu. In. Flathead V-Twin, was designed for battle, only about 1,000 units were produced, the U.S government had asked Indian and H-D to design a motorcycle like those captured in the hot deserts of North Africa, Rommel couldn’t have it all. But the XA was surpassed by H-D’s WLA, and the Jeep’s W***y, the battlefield eluded. Come see our Military collection!

Our 1926 Indian Prince, a true beauty made by the Hendee Mfg Company, was perfect for beginners and for women too. It weighed only 265 lbs., had a lower seat height, and longer handlebars; and to top it off , excellent fuel economy! Makes us all want to go out and find more of these Indian Princes, truly a real gem of motorcycles!

Motorcyclepedia Museum's Bike of the week: 1955 “The General” Custom H-D Servi-Car

On display at the Motorcyclepedia Museum, "The General" is a stunning custom three wheeler built by Tom Owejan on the platform of a rare 1955 Harley-Davidson Model G Servi-Car, one of only 394 produced that year. Originally constructed as the centerpiece for the August 3, 2013 Purple Heart Ride, which launched from the museum to celebrate the reopening of the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor in nearby New Windsor, New York, this custom trike radiates the commanding presence of a military motorcade es**rt. It is powered by a 45 cubic inch "W" flathead V-Twin engine and beautifully showcases Harley Davidson’s debut 1955 "V" tank emblem alongside an olive drab paint scheme, G.I. white stenciling, and five small American flags on the front fender. Equipped with tactical gear like a rifle scabbard, a brass fire extinguisher, a hatchet, and solid steel rear wheels, it also features a striking upholstered high backed seat and a rear cargo box adorned with decals honoring the five branches of the U.S. Armed Forces surrounding a Purple Heart medal. While Harley Davidson's iconic utility model served small businesses and police departments for over forty years, a military contracted Servi-Car was never officially realized in production, making this custom tribute a unique historical standout, one that even captivated actor Jeremy Irons, who famously spent hours riding it around the museum's parking lots on the day it was delivered.

Come see it in person at Motorcyclepedia Museum & explore over 750 motorcycles and countless pieces of memorabilia! 250 Lake Street, Newburgh, New York. Open Thursdays 4pm-8pm. Friday, Saturday, & Sunday 10am-4pm
