If you’re looking for an old bike museum, look no further. Bill’s Old Bike Barn Museum is the collection of all collections!

Welcome to Billville, a collection of collections

Any motorcycle museum that includes “turn where you see the dinosaurs” in its directions should grab your attention, and in the case of Bill’s Old Bike Barn your undivided attention is warranted.

Bill’s Old Bike Barn is literally a hidden treasure. You can’t see it from the highway; you have to spot the dinosaurs (just like the directions say), turn, and then head uphill. You’ll go by a couple of bison (no kidding) and a Harley fuel tank tower, and there it is. Bill’s Old Bike Barn looks deceptively small from the outside; inside, you could spend weeks and not see everything.

Bill grew up right where I met him: Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania. He started working at age 11 on the family farm and never stopped. Bill is 83 now (he doesn’t look or act like it). In his earlier days Bill served in the U.S. Army and then he worked for Chrysler building Plymouths and Dodges in Delaware. After two years with Chrysler it was back to Bloomsburg and a job with the local Harley dealer. It was a good deal; Bill became a factory-certified Harley technician. When I asked Bill his last name he told me: Morris, just like the cigarettes (I didn’t get it until later, and then I couldn’t stop laughing). Above all else, Bill is a collector and a people person with a wry sense of humor. His collection is beyond words and photographs; you really need to see it.
