TOPIC: Ride to the National Packard Museum on Sunday 4/24/16

Ed Syphan is putting together a ride to The National Packard Museum on this Sunday April 24th. We were going to meet at the Exxon Gas station on Rt 68 between Evans City and Zelienople, right where it goes under Interstate 79. Check this forum later in the week for a meeting time.

Ed, feel free to chime in with any details as you get them.

Thanks for posting John.
Apologies for the short notice, but the crazy weather has made planning difficult.
You have all the details, except the time.
10:00 AM will give us ample time for a leisurely ride up to Warren Ohio, to see the bike exhibit.
And of course, followed by a nice lunch.

What's that?
Finger of God

I was wondering the same thing. It made me check the forecast for Sunday. As of today(Wednesday) it shows 75 degrees and mostly sunny for Sunday. It doesn't get much better than that.

They don't call him "Syphoon" for nothing . . .

Neat article about how Packard Museum's motorcycle exhibit got started. Scroll down a bit to "Bruce Williams"

"Bruce Williams: Museum Man"

"About his unlikely sojourn into the world of museums, Williams relates, “My friend Darryl Timko visited the National Packard Museum
one day, to see the motorcycle and bicycle exhibit, and asked its executive director – Maryanne Porinchak – why they didn’t have more motorcycles on display.” According to Williams, Porinchak explained that they had gone to a local Harley-Davidson dealer to ask where to acquire some antique motorcycles for display, and were told that in northern Ohio they were not to be had. Thus the museum abandoned the idea. "
