Degree in motorcycle restoration

We’re very taken with this news – the McPherson College in Kansas, the US, is offering a four-year degree in motorcycle restoration.
So we’re expecting to see some lovely things from them in the future.
The college has already been offering a degree in automotive restoration and has decided to expand that into the two-wheel sector.

It might be niche, but there’s definitely an international fascination with restored and vintage bikes.
The first two motorcycles up for work are a 1965 Honda 305 Dream and a 1970 BSA 250, while the college is also on the look-out for pre-1970’s models of Harley Davidsons, Triumphs and Indians.
The degree includes lessons on sheet metal, motorcycle trims and paint, the history of the American motorcycle and of course more technical stuff like bike engines, power trains and suspension.
McPherson College’s Joe Dickhudt says: “It turns out there’s a lot of people interested in motorcycle restoration because they’re popular and affordable.
” And we bet there’s a whole lot of guys out there wondering why this wasn’t around before they decided to become dentists and IT professionals!
