Where are the motorcycle museums?

I was reading the topic about the Evel Knievel museum, and it got me thinking about searching out some other motorcycle museums. Maybe I could string together a trip that hits several of them, like some baseball fans like to do with ballparks.

I of course know about the big ones, like the AMA Motorcycle Museum in Ohio, and The Barber in Alabama. And the Harley-Davidson Museum is just up the road from me. I've also heard the Petersen Museum in Los Angeles has a good motorcycle collection. Any other must-sees?

Other than the HD, the only other MC museum I've visited is the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa, IA. It was a nice day trip for me, and had a good selection of bikes from all eras. They also have a great board track display that gives a real appreciation for how crazy those tracks were in their day.

Any other suggestions?

Been to Dreamcycle museum in Sorrento, quirky little spot - closed on Tuesday. Every bike on exhibit runs, and has a story - you can rent a voice recording that describes the bike and its history. He has several in the back shop he is working on. The museum is owned and operated by the owner of all the bikes.
