Full Throttle: Vintage Motorcycles, Custom Choppers and Racing Machines
May 17 – October 25, 2009
Exhibited on all three levels of Shelburne Museum’s historic Round Barn gallery, Full Throttle is organized into three thematic sections.
• “Wide Open and Wild: Racing Machines” examines the role of racing tracks as testing grounds for motorcycle performance and design improvements.
• “Classic Cool: Vintage Motorcycles” features iconic examples of such makes as Indian, Harley Davidson and Triumph and explores how many of the improvements born on the track translated into hallmarks for specific brands.
• “Choppers: Art of the Custom Ride” explores the evolution of building choppers from early models where parts were chopped off to jettison weight to today’s custom rides that elevate bike building to an art form that reflects the personality of the individual rider. This section include examples of regional styles, as well as compares “old school” choppers to contemporary themed or fantasy bikes.
