Some motorcycles, also some fantastically wonderful cars from 1929-1940.

I am fortunate enough to get to go to a private members only event at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston this Saturday to check out the exhibit. If it tours through a city near you, I'd wager it's probably worth the price of admission. Nice to see the art world coming around to defining that transportation can be art.

I've got some photos I'll try and get onto photobucket to post.

Only 3 motorcycles there, BMW R7 Concept, the Henderson Streamliner, and an Indian chief.

But, not one, but TWO Delahye 135s. . .It boggled my damn mind. Not to mention a Talbot Lago and some other cars the only kind of theirs left, or one of very few. In the same few rooms.

I did have one rather big problem with the whole thing though.

It didn't smell like old cars or motorbikes. No fuel, no oil, nothing. I assume it's the fact that the air is dehumidified and so precisely controlled in the museum to protect the art, but, it still irked me. People aren't getting the full sensory experience without that.
