Big Moe and the Big Fish
Moe's been helping out around the museum for as long as anyone can remember. Dudes about as cool as it gets, and has more than a few stories that'll blow your mind. As for the Big Fish.....nasty Knuckle stroker with a homemade swingarm frame. You couldn't tell by the looks, but its the fastest old bike I've ever seen.

Oh...my...god....
Quite possibly the most baddass thing I've ever seen.
8-valve heads, mated to an altoona bottom end. I've never seen removable 8 valve heads. Look at those pipes.
I know....its hard to believe. Wheelies? Are you kidding me? Clocked at 158 mph during a race last year.
