How about setting up a date in the future where we could All go and see this as a group?We could meet somewhere in Chester County and leave from there?

I visited the Jim Hopkins Museum in Clarksville, MD again this weekend
along with several former employees of Butler & Smith and BMW/NA, see
http://www.hopkinsbmwmuseum.com/

I learned and saw a lot.

It is an extraordinary museum which, since I last saw it,  Jim has expanded
greatly both with more space (it is attached to his home) as well as far
more personal memorabilia, race awards, pictures, leathers, and so much
more, from the people who were intimately involved with BMW motorcycles
from the very beginning to the present.

So for instance, he has a 1927 BMW in original condition, the fastest BMW
motorcycle ever, an S1000RR, the helmet and leathers Reg Pridmore wore when
he won the Superbike Championship in 1976, race trophies and awards,
original pictures, etc., the list just goes on and on, from the very
beginning to the present.

It is likely the best museum in the world that concentrates on the people
of BMW motorcycling, their awards, pictures, etc., it should be on your
bucket list.

I had a headache by the time I left :-)   A GOOD thing this time.

So Rob Price, if you want to pursue a trip there, I would be happy to
coordinate with Jim to have such a visit.

From my home in Glenmoore, it is about 110 miles to Jim's house in
Clarksville, MD, BUT that is taking the most direct route which is down 95
past and through Baltimore, a VERY heavily travelled route, so first
heading westward, then south would be longer, but far less onerous.

Let me know :-)
