Community leaders and motorcycle enthusiasts gathered Wednesday, May 8, to celebrate the ceremonial ribbon-cutting of the Haas Moto Museum, a one-of-a-kind institution housing more than 230 rare and custom motorcycles in Farmers Branch.
The museum, which first opened in 2018, faced an uncertain future following the sudden death of founder Bobby Haas in 2021. Its reopening marks a new chapter for the collection and the team preserving Haas’s legacy. Plans are underway to add a coffee and beer garden to the rear of the space, signaling a long-term vision for community and cultural engagement.
“The collection remains the same, and we’re slowly adding to it bit by bit,” said museum co-founder Stacey Mayfield, who continues to curate the expansive gallery of vintage, modern and artist-built bikes.
Farmers Branch Mayor Terry Lynne praised the museum’s cultural impact: “It’s more than a museum in many respects. It’s truly artwork. Being a motorcycle owner myself, I have a special affinity for this... Once [people] see this, the word is going to spread like wildfire.”
Greeting visitors as they pull into the parking lot is a motorcycle hewn into stone by Farmers Branch local artist Eliseo S Garcia. Inside, guests are treated to 130 years of motorcycle history, meticulously maintained by Chris “Sparky” Williamson.
Whether you're a die-hard rider or an admirer of craftsmanship, the Haas Moto Museum offers a journey through two-wheeled history unlike any other. With its blend of engineering, artistry, and storytelling, the museum invites visitors to explore the legacy of motorcycles and the man who made collecting them an art form.
