Harley-Davidson loves to play up their Hollywood history, and an upcoming exhibit at their Milwaukee museum is timed to coincide with the 2010 Academy Awards. From February 12 - March 14, a variety of bikes will be on display at their "Harleys & Hollywood" show.
The exhibit will include bikes from Star Trek, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Wild Hogs, and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Visitors will be able to pose for pictures in the saddle of the Softail ridden by Shia LaBeouf in Indiana Jones (pictured above; click to enlarge.)
In addition to the bikes on display, a gallery talk will be held by an Archives and Curatorial staff member every Thursday at 2:00 pm, from February 18 to March 11. Tim Woods and Justin Kell, who worked together on The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Star Trek, and G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, will also host a special discussion about their behind-the-scenes experiences on February 26th at 7:00 pm.

Wild Hogs & whatever number sequel to raiders of the lost ark, two thumbs down for both of them, regardless how much money they made. Although as long as theres dummies who spend good money on both crappy movies & motorcycles, the people who make’em will never have a reason to make any improvements. Just one of my many deep thoughts…
Guess you are in the minority Mario, Harley most likely out sells what ever crappy bike you ride and those movies did very well in the box office. I liked and saw most of these movies and they were good and HD rules!!
Hey joe, i agree, harleys sell very well. What can i say, we live in a world filled with people that needs a newscast to inform them that breathing polluted air ain’t good fer ya…
