Design is design, a fit subject for museum consideration, and in any case I'd rather look at a rampful of glittering dream machines than any number of tasteful Scandinavian vases or floppy fiber art. My only regret is that the show doesn't (so to speak) go the whole hog: with the exception of the iconic chopped Harley that Captain America rode in Easy Rider, everything in it is stock, so that it ignores the creative ingenuity that has gone into making the custom bike...
