The Harley-Davidson Museum is a North American museum near downtown, Milwaukee, Wisconsin celebrating the more than 100-year history of Harley-Davidson motorcycles. The 130,000-square-foot (12,000 m²) three building complex on 20 acres (81,000 m²) along the Menomonee River bank contains more than 450 Harley-Davidson motorcycles and hundreds of thousands of artifacts from the Harley-Davidson Motor Company’s 110-year history. The museum attracts an estimated 300,000 visitors annually. The museum opened to the public on July 12, 2008, on a 20 acres (81,000 m²) site in the Menomonee Valley. The museum was built in an historically industrial area of Milwaukee. Prior to Harley-Davidson’s purchase of the land from the city, the site was formerly used by the Milwaukee Department of Public Works, Lakeshore Sand Company, and Morton Salt. A 4 feet (1.2 m) layer of imported soil was added to combat the contaminated soil. New vegetation was planted to restore the landscape to its riparian state. In late February 2006, designs for the museum were unveiled. The designs were created by James Biber, a partner at Pentagram, his team, and Michael Zweck-Bonner, an associate at Pentagram. Abbott Miller, a partner at Pentagram, designed the museum’s permanent exhibitions. The firm designed the museum over a period of eight years. On June 1, 2006, Harley-Davidson began the construction of the $75 million complex with a groundbreaking ceremony that included legendary Harley-Davidson dirt track motorcycle racer, Scott Parker, breaking ground by doing a burnout with a Harley-Davidson XL883R Sportster, instead of with the traditional golden shovel. The site includes parking spaces for 1,000 motorcycles and 500 cars. The Museum’s facade also features a 17-foot (5.2 m)-tall, steel Harley-Davidson sign. The museum’s galleries permanent exhibitions, spread throughout two floors, in addition to temporary exhibits and the motor company’s archives. The complex also includes a restaurant, café, retail shop, and special event spaces. Also on display are historic Harley-Davidson items that tell the company’s story and history, such as photographs, posters, advertisements, clothes, trophies, video footage of vintage and contemporary motorcycling, and interactive exhibits, including 10 motorcycles that visitors can sit on.
The Motorcycle Gallery
On the museum’s upper level, a procession of motorcycles is displayed down the center of the main hall, running the length of the building, with galleries on either side.
The Harley-Davidson Journey
Along the east side of the upstairs galleries, a series of interconnected galleries exhibit the Harley-Davidson’s chronological history. The galleries relate the company’s history from its origins in a 10×15-foot wooden shack to its current status as the top U.S. motorcycle manufacturer, producing more than 330,000 bikes each year. The centerpiece of the gallery is "Serial Number One", the oldest known Harley-Davidson in existence, which is encased in glass. The glass enclosure sits within a floor-embedded, illuminated outline of the backyard shed the motor company was founded in.
The Engine Room
The museum’s second floor galleries begin with the Engine Room. A Knucklehead engine is displayed disassembled into several pieces. The Engine Room also features several interactive touch screen elements that show how Harley motors, including Panhead and Shovelhead motors work.
Clubs and Competition
The Clubs and Competition gallery includes displays and information about Harley-Davidson’s racing history. The gallery includes a section of a replica wooden board track, suspended in the air at a 45-degree incline. The wooden track features vintage video footage of actual board track races, and attached 1920s-era Harley-Davidson racing motorcycles; the bikes that raced on board tracks at 100 miles -per-hour. Fatalities were common, which led to the banning of wooden board tracks for motorcycle racing.
Tank Gallery
The museum’s upper floor exhibits also include the Gas Tank Gallery, formerly part of the Harley-Davidson 100th Anniversary Open Road Tour. The exhibit displays 100 of Harley-Davidson’s most memorable tank graphics, spanning 70 years, selected by the company’s styling department and reproduced on "Fat Bob" tanks.
Custom Culture
The Custom Culture gallery covers Harley-Davidson’s impact on American and global culture. The centerpiece of the Custom Culture Gallery is "King Kong", a 13-foot (4.0 m)-long, two-engine Harley-Davidson motorcycle customized by Felix Predko. The exhibit also features exact replicas of the customized Harley-Davidson bikes ridden by Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper in the 1969 American movie, "Easy Rider", including Fonda’s "Captain America" chopper and Hopper’s "Billy Bike". Two of each of the two choppers were created, and one "Captain America" was destroyed in the film’s production.

Twins, formerly associated with a biker gang and involved in meth trafficking, had their confiscated Harley Davidson bikes returned after serving their sentences, according to court filings.
The ex-Hells Angels members opted for leniency in asset forfeiture laws, leading to a forfeiture of $75,000 each, while authorities returned their motorcycles and leftover cash from property sales.
Court documents regarding Nuno and Bruno Da Silva were disclosed by the ABC as part of an inquiry into legislation aimed at confiscating profits linked to organized crime.

This was not their first battle over asset confiscation; previously, they grabbed headlines for retrieving $129,000 that police had found in a shopping bag beneath Bruno’s car seat, claiming it was wedding gifts for Nuno.
Post-release, the twins have been spotted participating in poker tournaments at Star’s Brisbane and Gold Coast casinos in 2022.

Star did not provide comments but mentioned ongoing processes for customer monitoring.
The Da Silvas were in the locksmith business in Brisbane, having pleaded guilty in 2015 to trafficking methylamphetamine.

Nuno was sentenced to seven years in prison with possible parole beginning February 2016; Bruno received a nine-year sentence with potential release from October 2017.
A ‘comfortable’ lifestyle
Prosecutors suspected that the Hells Angels supplied drugs to the brothers, who had formally cut ties with the club, and that they sold drugs to street dealers.
In court, prosecutors claimed that the brothers threatened individuals when collecting debts.

One threatening text from Bruno allegedly said, “Junkie, I swear on my mum, I’m going to put a bullet in your leg.”
Following their arrests in October 2013, authorities seized assets including proceeds from home sales, motorcycles, and a distinctive winged skull ring.

Their way of living was described as comfortable, but not extravagant during their sentencing.
Eight years post-incident, each forfeited $75,000, as the ABC reports.
This amount accounted for over half of the remaining cash from property sales, but did not include their motorcycles.
Bruno contended that the motorcycle was to be his only transportation after his release, asserting that its purchase price of $26,495 did not come from illegitimate means.
He argued that confiscation of home sale proceeds would financially cripple him.
Nuno informed the court that he bought his Harley for $27,300 through legitimate sources, part of which came from a former locksmith employee who had also pleaded guilty to drug offenses.

Nuno emphasized that prosecutors failed to establish any financial gains from their crimes.
He insisted their locksmith business, which frequently dealt with cash for call-out work, was quite profitable, and he occasionally lent money, albeit with inconsistent record-keeping of the loans.
More than $150,000 found in shopping bags
The Crime and Corruption Commission proposed reforms to the confiscation laws last year, while new Attorney-General Deb Frecklington indicated she would consider possible amendments.
Experts have expressed concerns that such laws may overlook major criminals, assess some provisions as unfair, and questioned the regulators’ risk appetite regarding confiscation efforts.
Other instances of discrepancies between the perception and reality of confiscation laws include ABC’s investigation, featuring the case of Ivan Tesic, who was imprisoned in 2019 for possessing 3.6 kilograms of methamphetamine.
Tesic was convicted in 2002 in NSW for involvement in drug supply and later in Queensland in 2019 for possessing over 3 kilograms of meth hidden in soft drink containers. (Supplied)
Authorities initially pursued Tesic’s assets, including three properties worth over $800,000 and a vintage 1969 Monaro.
In the end, Tesic lost $73,923 as unexplained wealth.
In a separate case, investigators executed a raid on an apartment housing a former biker and his partner, uncovering $158,000 cash in plastic bags, firearms, methamphetamine, pipes, knuckle dusters, and scales.
Five years later, the cash confiscation turned around after a friend of the man claimed that the money belonged to her from a compensation payout due to an accident at an engagement party in 2008.
The woman testified that to safeguard her payout cash from potential harm due to domestic violence, she entrusted the man with portions of her cash wrapped in envelopes.
Even though prosecutors described her account as “inherently improbable,” the court deemed her a credible witness, supported by records of her cash withdrawals.
The court also concluded that it was unlikely the cash stemmed from drug-related activities, particularly after the man testified about heavy substance use and no evidence pointed to drug sales.
