AMC Tom Banks Museum

[Skirted]

A couple weeks ago Allegheny Mountain Chapter member Allan Osterwise organized a group tour with Tom Banks to see his private collection of motorcycles and memorabilia which he's been working on for the past 15 years in North Versailles PA. Tom graciously accepted the request to host and welcomed 40 or so members with coffee and donuts. Tom gave short story overviews of each generation of bikes and how the museum came to fruition as well as a few interesting stories of acquisition. All motorcycles are in running/riding condition. Safe to say no one left unenthused and consensus was most had no idea of the size and scope of his collection. Enjoy.

Thanks for sharing this Jason. That's a sweet looking private collection. Very c()()L Jimi stand~up. That box type frame green/black custom Pan is definitely a leg shredder.
