The Harley-Davidson Museum Reveals its Best Kept secret: Motor and Cafe Racer

Author The Harley-Davidson Museum Reveals its Best Kept secret: Motor and Cafe Racer
Milwaukee, WI (PRWEB) July 15, 2008
While the Harley-Davidson Museum’s exhibits have so far been shrouded in mystery, perhaps the destination’s best kept secret has been its two new restaurants, Motor and Cafe Racer. This isn’t your typical Museum restaurant.
“After a ride, bikers often gather to share stories of the day’s journey – the Harley-Davidson experience is made of those moments of connection,” said Stacey Schiesl, Harley-Davidson Museum Director. “From the menu selection to the space design, Motor and Cafe Racer offer bold flavors of the open road in a space that fosters the camaraderie Harley-Davidson is known for.”
At the 150-seat restaurant Motor, a menu of bold American classics with a twist celebrates the discoveries of the open road. The peach cobbler, painstakingly perfected, will look, taste and go down exactly like it does in the roadside diners of Georgia. There will be hints of Little Rock in the smoked BBQ ribs, echoes of an endless ride through the countryside in the “One Pounder” pork chop, and deep-laid memories of Kansas City in the strip steak. As far west, east, north and south as the menu travels, it will always keep one foot planted firmly in the restaurant’s hometown. Milwaukee’s best sausage and bratwurst, sharp Wisconsin cheddar, walleye straight from the lake, locally farmed produce, and macro- and micro-brews will all be offered.
If the food is designed for triggering memories, the space is designed for sharing them. Communal tables and horseshoe-shaped bars make every seat a perfect spot for starting conversations, either with an old friend, or the new friend one seat over. In addition to indoor seating, Motor offers 100 outdoor seats with beautiful views of the Menomonee River and Museum grounds.
Paying homage to the restaurant’s name, Motor boasts a piece of welded artwork featuring actual Harley-Davidson motor parts used to divide the restaurant into separate gathering spaces. The metal piece uses engine parts that came directly from Harley-Davidson’s Pilgrim Road Powertrain Operations facility in Milwaukee. Flywheels, gears and other parts inspire the namesake space with Harley-Davidson heritage.
The culinary road trip continues at Cafe Racer, designed as the perfect place to quickly refuel. The café welcomes guests to come and go as they please and is as casual as a Sunday ride on an open road. For those with time to stay and chat, the racing stripe-inspired color palette and the walls lined with Harley-Davidson and Buell racing action shots enhance the colorful conversations to be had inside the cafe. The cafe encourages eating outdoors as well on I-beam benches in the Founder’s Plaza and around the Hillclimber statue for those who want to picnic.
Motor is open to the general public for lunch and dinner while Cafe Racer is open for breakfast, lunch and light dinner. A Museum ticket is not needed to eat at either Motor or Cafe Racer.
“Motor and Cafe Racer will certainly ‘wow’ visitors to our Museum,” said Schiesl. “And they’re sure to be local favorites for people who like good American food with a bold spin that will keep them coming back again and again.”
“Designing a menu that embraces the Harley-Davidson legacy is one of the most fun and gratifying challenges I could take on,” says Robin Rosenberg, Master Chef of Motor and Cafe Racer. “There’s a rich heritage in Harley-Davidson. To have a chance to bring that culture to life through food is one of the greatest things I’ve ever been a part of.”
Motor is open Monday through Thursday 11 a.m. to 12 a.m., Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Cafe Racer is open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Final kitchen orders are taken one hour prior to close. Call 1-877-HD-MUSEUM (1-877-436-8738) or visit http://www.h-dmuseum.com for more information.

The Best Car Accessories For Teenagers
If someone you know has just passed his/her driving test, there are many cool car accessories for teens that you can pick for him/her. When picking car accessories for teenagers, you should note that although there is a general view that cheap is expensive, expensive does not always mean better when it comes to accessories. This is because some companies selling these accessories hike their prices just to give the perception that they are selling better accessories. The best place to buy cool car accessories for teens is over the internet because you get to compare prices, meaning you are more likely to get the best accessories at a good price, you will buy the accessories at your convenience since you do not need to leave the comfort of your home or office and because you can buy 24/7, all year round, and because your anonymity will be guaranteed, meaning you can give the accessory as a surprise.
To get the best car accessories for a teen, you should know about the likes and the dislikes of the teen. Boys and girls will not be happy with the same accessories and you should put this into account. You should also consider the age, the type of the car, and the longevity of the accessory. Instead of an expensive gadget, you should consider car detailing as a gift. Car detailing is all about doing a thorough cleaning on the car – this is particularly important on older cars. You should check whether the teen has already done a thorough cleaning before giving this gift. Seat covers are a cool car accessory for teens. These can be waterproof or leather for boys and fuzzy for girls, but it depends on individual taste. You should make sure that the car seats you are giving are better than what is in the car.
Some car accessories for teens may seem boring, but they are practical and they will be appreciated. These include such things as car emergency kits, flashlights, collapsible snow shovels, and jumper cables. Many teens will not buy these accessories and so you will be increasing their safety. You may even buy a spare tire if the teen has none. Another good idea is an organizer for registration and insurance papers. Remote car starters costs around $100, but they are very popular with teenagers. You do not need to have it installed by a professional since many of the major retail chains offer the service free of charge. You can give the teen car accessories that are weather related. This means your choice of accessory will depend on where the teen will be doing most of the driving. If the weather is usually hot, you can give sun visors for the windshield and if the weather is usually cold, you can give snow brushes or ice scrapers.
Music accessories are very popular with teenagers today. Most of the new models come with CD players, buy you can give car CD organizers as a gift. There are also accessories in the market that allow drivers to plug their iPods into stock stereo systems and others that allow the iPod to be mounted on the dashboard.
