Default My visit to the motorcycle museum (not dialup friendly)

I just happened to be driving through Tamworth, NSW Australia and drove right past a motorcycle museum. Since we were staying the night we went back the next day to check it out. It was a great little museum, the bikes are a private collection and the owner has about 200 more, but floor space limits the show to about 30 bikes at any time.

We were the only two people there, plus the guy running the place, who was very nice. He was there to answer questions we had, chat bikes, made us coffee, and was very friendly.

There were some very rare, very exotic bikes on display. We were free to walk up to them, take photos, walk around, even touch the bikes. They are all in running condition and regularly run, but unfortunately none were started up while we were there.

The view when you walk in:
