Bryans Motorcycle Museum
Jackson Family Motorcycle Memorabilia back to the 1940's | Weekdays 10-4
Located at 925 E. Main Street, Eastland,
you’ll find the Bryans Motorcycle Museum
in the same building as Bryan’s Auto
Parts/Computers/Signs & Graphics.
Whether you’re a kid, or just a kid at
heart, there is something for everyone
to enjoy. The museum is jam packed with
motorcycles, larger than life photos,
trophies and tons of other Jackson
Family motorcycle memorabilia.
History shows that motorcycles have been
a major part of the Jackson family since
the 1920’s and although some of that
history has been lost, the museum has
preserved most, including the last bike
his granddad owned, which was a 1949
Harley Hummer.
Bryan grew up watching
his dad, Kay, participate in hill
climbs, lime runs, and a little flat
tracking. One of Kay’s bikes was a 1958
Ariel 500, which is also in the museum.
And ladies, Bryan’s mom, Bertie also
rode motorcycles, and we’re not talking
in a side car. Although a few years have
passed, let me assure you, she still has
that same spunk today!
When you
visit the museum you’ll get to see the
Yamaha Mini Enduro 60 that started
Bryan’s motocross racing career back in
1972. In the decades since, he’s won
multiple World Championships, along with
numerous National Titles. But along with
the good, comes the bad, which
interestingly enough, is documented in
the museum as well…a few surgeries, a
few internal plates, and more than a few
screws are holding him together. And
just like the Energizer Bunny, he keeps
on going.
