The new Harley Davidson museum has had one of its first celebrity visitors with motorcycle fan and “The Tonight Show” host Jay Leno visiting the facilities. Leno was lucky enough to get himself a tour from curator Jim Fricke and senior director of factory and museum tours, Stacey Schiesl.

The museum is set to open on July 12, so Leno got himself a privileged, pre-inauguration tour. Next time you’re passing through Milwaukee, you might like to stop and visit.
