Title: Amazing Italian bike collection

Walked by this the other day.  On Madison/40th.  Drooled for about 10 minutes before trying to open the door.  Locked.  Snooped around and asked a security guard in the adjacent building.  He said to google "stuart parr".  This is what I found.  Looks awesome and I'll definitely stop by once it opens.  But even now you can see everything in the windows, in case anyone is in the neighborhood.

Here is a blog post I saw talking about it, too.

FYI - it opens Apr 18th, so for now you can only peek in the windows.

I stopped by today and took some pics. Very cool.  I posted them on a new thread in the general forum so as to share with the board as a whole.

Finally going to make it up to see this collection on Thursday and then stay over and roll back to DC on Friday. Are there any shops I should visit or moto places I should be sure to hit up?

Sorry to say I think they may have closed a week earlier.  No verified, but a coworker who stopped by the show last week said as much.  I would check the website to confirm that it is indeed still open.

Nothing on the site that says it's closed. Still showing open until the 18th. I hope it's still open. Building my entire NYC trip around going to see the exhibit.  [bang] [bang] [bang] [bang] [bang] [bang] [bang]

My office is 10 blocks away.  I'll try to stop by during lunch if I can and see if it's open.

Thanks bro. Called them and they said it's open but if you swing by to confirm that would be greatly appreciated.
