Riders will roll just south of Kearney to Liberty and explore the sight of the first daylight, peacetime bank robbery at the Jesse James Bank Museum. Finally, riders will get to see a rare early 20th century custom made bike and several other custom choppers at the Art of the Chopper exhibit at Union Station.
