Boyd Uzzell bought his first motorcycle in 1966. For $1,345.00 Boyd had himself a brand new 1966 Triumph Bonneville. From that moment on, Boyd became infatuated with motorcycles, and his love for bikes had soon developed into a passion for racing.
Forty years later, Boyd had accumulated over 240 motorcycles, storing them in his Cape Coral, Florida home. Realizing that he had some of the rarest bikes ever made, Boyd decided that it would be a shame not to share his collection with the rest of the world. It was then that Boyd came up with the idea to open a motor sports museum.
Boyd chose Orlando, Florida as the location for his museum, and luckily enough, found the prime location for it: International Drive.
Boyd then made several other purchases including NASCAR and Formula 1 racecars, dragsters, and as many other vehicles as he could find to represent motor sports in the most adequate way possible.
With help and encouragement from close friends and family, Boyd’s dream of a MotorSports Museum came to reality, when the doors of The Motor Sports Museum of Orlando opened to the public the summer of 2007.
