I absolutely love this place. My wife took me there for my birthday last year. When I walked in and noticed all of the bikes, I began to cry. No, seriously. I actually began to cry. It was such an amazing thing to see so many different motorcycles in one place.
I love that he said the britten was the crown jewel. All the historic gems in there and he says that about a bike from mid 1990's. I couldn't agree more
Makes sense about the British frames of Vincent in particular . I used to buy vintage 1970s era Raleigh bicycles because of their well built frames and forks.
It's an overwhelming collection. If anyone is able to go, try to spend a full day. Information overload. I'd like to go back for sure. It is worth an international trip for anyone outside the states.
That R18 though! 😱 We get briefly shown the most expensive bike in the museum (the Britten) and then just move on without any background or explanation of its origins 🙄
I hear you but there's so much to cover that there isn't nearly enough time and the Britten has two documentaries dedicated to it already, what more could we possibly add? You can watch the NZ TV "Britten-Backyard Visionary" for free in the link below or you can rent "One Mans Dream" on Amazon, 😘 www.nzonscreen.com/title/britten-backyard-visionary-1993
I believe that is what they claim. Many of them will have puddles of oil beneath them that suggest that they could be run at any moment though I can't imagine trying to maintain them all in that state.
Super nice collection, the Majestic is a fun thing. The Pope engine is so nice. Thanks for your channel.

They said any time you want to go back you can. Go back! Show us more! only 990 bikes to go. Great video as always, thank you

Thank you Art. It's true! Cheers
Magnificent collection, and the concept R18 snick in there

You guys have a criminally low amount of subs. Love the stuff you're putting out. Don't stop!
Sweet. All of it! But I spy with my little eye at 7:21 a Buell RR1000. Sorry, Buell nerd.
Really enjoyed your video guys! I hope I helped just a little. Come see us again soon! Cheers

Thanks Denis, we had a great time. The tour was certainly the highlight of our trip.
7:11 A Zero in a box?! Must be part of the preservation? Thanks for the video!
She's on display now! And a BLAST to ride - I might add..

ARE ALL THESE IN WORKING ORDER?
