Sidecar-Café
Dine & Drink in Motorcycle-Heritage!
Well worth a visit: Legend Motorcycles and Art Gallery opens opens Café/Restaurant and builds Brewery at Springville/Utah
Jeff Decker and Rick Salisbury
Expanding his business further, Rick Salisbury, owner of "Legend Motorcycles" has annexed his 2014 opened Showroom/Museum with the "Sidecar Café". The public in-/outdoor Café Restaurant next to the Showroom and with the Art collection just one floor up offers additional exhibition space for the ever-growing art collection PLUS a great location for private celebrations.
But plans are already beyond the Café: In late August 2015 – Rick and Jeff Decker already en route to the Davenport Swap Meet – preparations for a new Micro-Brewery at the paring lot in front of the Building were well under way – and the "centerpiece" of that Brewery was to be admired on the Exhibition floor: Rick is the proud owner of a 1907 "Strap Tank" Harley-Davidson Single, auctioned off in 2015 and now considered as one of the World's best preserved early Harley still in original condition! In fact, the 1907 serial number #0037 (out of 150 built
that year) make this bike the 94th Harley ever built!Text and photo's of the Legends Motorcycle Sidecar Cafe / Museum by Horst Roesler

Legends Motorcycles has been a part of the Springville Scene for the better part of 2 decades, with Rick and his team offering service from a scenic faciltiy in downtown Springville, not to far from where Jeff Decker operates his famouse "Hippodrome Studio" and his wife the "Art Trolley" Restaurant. When a local car dealership next to the I-15 exit, Rick took the chance to expand and give his collection a new perspective and showcase in 2014. The building was extensively re-modelled and the first floor serves completely as Art Gallery.

Famous 'Rollie' sculpture by Jeff Decker
A dedicated collector of Jeff Decker's Bronce Sculptures, the cllection features more than 22 original Jeff Decker bronces, including a complete "Boardtrack Race", the gargantuan "Petrali Knuckle" AND a new 1:1.5 Hillclimber as it is the welcome Piece at the Harley-Davidson Museum at Milwaukee, created by Jeff in create secrecy for the opening of the Museum in 2008. A different colour-accented but impressive in size and quality DAH Hillclimber is now outside the Legends Motorcycles shop.
David Uhls Paintings – often supported by the fitting original bikes – are a major part, as are Tom Fritz, Scott Jacobs and a number of yet to be made famous artists. The lower floor presents part of Rick's Motorcycle collection – most of which already has or will be in riding condition – as well as some of the custom motorcycles that "Legends" has created as "Aftermarket V-Twins" in recent years under the brandname "Legend Motorcycle" and which are still available on demand. The actual work- and machineshop, where service and maintenance is provided, takes probably only 1/3th of the ground floor, but they take on all types of classic American Motorcycles, not just new and old Harley-Davidson's.
Highlights of he Museum are incredible original condition Indians and Harley-Davidson's, A super-rare Indian "Despatch Tow" in original paint and quite a number of American brands you may have never heard off.
With the move from the previous downtown Location at Springville in May/June 2014, the Gallery/Museum is open to the public and the workshops fully operational. The huge parking lot – just opposite of the local Walmart – is also used for public gatherings. Restaurant and Brewery will add to the popularity of the Shop.
