I saw it in Las Vegas as well. I really enjoyed it, but recall my first wife saying, at that time, noticing that I was looking at the bikes with great interest, “If you even think of buying a motorcycle I’m leaving.”
I should have bought one then and saved some time and hassle. I’m sure that she would have burned any exhibit poster or other item I might have purchased to mark the occasion.
The one bike from the exhibit that continued to stick in my mind was a replica of an 1885 Daimler Reitwagen. When the Petersen acquired a replica as well (may very well have been the same machine), memories of the Vegas exhibit made me smile.
Fast forward to last year, and my (current) wife and I went to the Golden Bolt motorcycle exhibit in L.A. She enjoyed it just as much as I did and she insisted that I buy the t-shirt.
