Have you ever seen a 1957 Aermacchi Chimera? How about a 1953 Moto Guzzi Galleto? Or a 1956 Moto Rumi Formichino Little Ant? Have you ever heard of those bikes?<\/p>\n

If you want to see some cool motorcycles and get out of the heat of summer, I strongly recommend hitting the Arvada Center<\/a> for their Summer of Cycles exhibit.<\/p>\n

Rather than talk about them I’ll just show you some pictures. The exhibit runs through September 7, it’s free, and the Arvada Center is open 9-6 M-F, 9-5 Saturday, and 1-5 Sunday.<\/p>\n

\"Summer<\/p>\n

This next one is the 1956 Moto Rumi I mentioned above.<\/p>\n

\"1956<\/p>\n

Here’s the 1957 Aermacchi Chimera (Dream)<\/p>\n

\"1957<\/p>\n

This one is a 1958 Cushman Eagle.<\/p>\n

\"1958<\/p>\n

There are a lot of others, too, including a 1998 Boss Hoss with a 350 cubic inch Chevrolet engine, 1999 Harley-Davidson MT500 built for the British military, and a 2006 Harley-Davidson VRXSE Screamin’ Eagel Destroyer, which is set up for drag-racing.<\/p>\n

All in all, a pretty good show. Definitely worth more than the admission!<\/p>\n
