Mike's Famous Harley-Davidson

2160 New Castle Avenue
New Castle, DE 19720

(302) 658-8800

This Harley dealership does much more than sell bikes. Inside these walls is the Museum of the American Road. Exhibits include some mention and tribute to Route 40 - after all, that's the highway besides which the museum sits!

Mike's is built on the site of a former Howard Johnson's Motel and Restaurant. The postcard below shows the complex in its glory days. There are still some remnants of the old HoJo.
