I was lucky enough to enjoy the ENGINE ROOM. Crazy where it is located. Every square inch of the walls are signed by people who have been there. The hardwood flooring is from the basketball court that was in the headquarters .NBA players used to play pick up games on the court. I was able to get pics with the tank but no ride. I went on my 50th birthday (thanks to my awesome wife for setting it up as a surprise). Got the grand tour. They gave me a pair of sunglasses ,backpack the guide gave me a pewter bike badge , a giclee, some stickers, a hat and our connection there gave me a employee badge all for my birthday. They also gave my wife a pair of sunglasses. A great day all in all.

As fun as the HQ is they don’t let visitors use the BMX track in the back! It’s crazy and has huge dirt jumps!

as for the rest it’s a must see experience! I just wish the back offices and special stuff like engine room was more available to the public or people who wanted to go to see it (not so much as go in ahah, gotta keep that for us special folk)

random fact their cafeteria has the most amazing random food choices! Hahah India food, pizza, pasta, sandwiches , burgers!!
