I came back to this thread this morning and combed through all those pictures again. I'm still just amazed at how many bikes , and what kind of bikes I was actually looking at. And speaking of which....Michael , when you get that restaurant opened up , please give out all the info and so forth here , as that would definitely be a place I'd like to sit down and eat some food! And congrat's again on purchasing some of the most badass bikes on planet earth!

My new favorite restaurant in DFW, and I don’t even care what the food tastes like!

Very cool, thanks for sharing. Is the MotoArmory museum open to the public? Was hoping to check it out around the MXdN this year.

Like someone else said, I'm much too young to recognize what 95% of these pieces might mean to the more tenured fan-base, but I can definitely appreciate your love for the sport. If I'm ever in Dallas, you can bet I'll be stopping by to check out the collection. Congrats on the career, new goodies, wife/gf combo, and thank you for sharing our sport with your local community.

Tom has an awesome facility as one can see. Tom purchased my personally restored 1971 Penton 100cc Berkshire with enduro kit. Displayed in museum.

As everyone has already mentioned, this is an insane collection and congrats on those awesome purchases. The JW XR and Maico 490...I'm just speechless.

Not sure anyone would know the answer to this question, but how in the world are the MXDN helmets not in the private collection of the riders? Are the riders required to give up all their gear and bikes after MXDN?

Good god man, love those helmets. Could you post more pics of the ryno mxon helmet with the stars on it? That was always a replica that I wanted to do. Also wanted to see more of the McGrath one with the sky scraper on it. I don't remember that one.

Yea that's right. McGrath himself didn't even remember wearing it.



It was definitely the highlight of the week having the King comment on my Instagram post.
