Fab collection & great photos-well done for posting.
The bikes & overall display looks well presented-maybe a bit cramped but who cares with that lot to play with.

Especially liked the vintage Hondas (Tommy Robb's etc) Do you know what the 3 bikes shown are ?

What a superb collection. Seems a shame that it's not on public display.

That is stunning. bow Fair play to the chap. yes

In these not so nice times though, if I were you I would 'vet' people who want to go see. Sorry to put a bit of a downer on these things but that is an amazing (and expensive) collection and the less people know the location the better IMHO.

A few years back him and a few others ,one with an amazing collection of pushbikes ,the other with some very early road going motorcycles approached our local council to see if they could open a public museum in a disused town centre building.They where amazed to be told that they tottaly dissaproved,as in their eyes it would attract the wrong type of people to the area.BIKERS..in all my miles covered on the open roads,both here and abroad,i always find bikers and motorcyle fans at race meetings ,bike shows ,and even bike related music events,as some of the best mannered ,kind and helpfull people out thier..in its dismissal of museum plans ,council went on to develop a visitor centre in said building at a cost of well over two million pounds.it had a grand opening..within a year it was shut.SHOCK.it is only now with a boost of finances from EU lottery fundings that it has reopened..give me a town full of BIKERS every time
