Late winter road trip.

Last year I delivered some magnetos to Lindom in Sweden for repair. He is located some 500 km from me, so it is not often I go there. The Mooneyes Bike Show was coming up…..and the MC collection museum is not far away. I invited some friends and we had an instant weekend road trip..

A cool place to hold a bike show, an old industrial building.

Enjoy the eye candy.

Lindoms well equipped magneto workshop.

Geeks at the museum….

Marlon Brando are watching when you do your business….

Classic Remise Düsseldorf

 

 

This is the place to go to in Düsseldorf. Here you can have a meal and a beer among classic cars and bikes.

 

 

 

At this museum like old roundhouse for locomotives you can find workshops, related businesses, retail shops for classic car and motorcycle and sales and showrooms for classic cars. There is also a Ducati dealer there.

 

 

Owners of classic cars can rent one of the 75 completely glassed-in individual garages where they can park their cars.

 

A Moto Guzzi 65B, 63 cc from 1948. This is for sale at one of the dealers.

From the bistro.

Four museums and a party...in one weekend. Part 5

 

This is the last post from the England expedition. We don`t want to be one track minded(!) so we went to an air plane museum too……

Not far from the Haynes museum we found The Royal navy Fleet Air Arm museum (http://www.fleetairarm.com/planning-air-museum-visit.aspx)

 

 

 

 

An original paint Corsair KD 431.

 

 

And guess what…..there was a motorcycle….WD BSA M20.

 

 

And the party?……George firing up a cammy Norton for the first time…

Four museums and a party...in one weekend. Part 4

 

Most of us have them…..The Haynes manual…A worn greasy copy covering BSA A65`s or the Ford Cortina`s…With the classic quote “contact your local dealer” when you were looking for the really need to know answers…scary if you live in a heavy neighborhood…..

Anyway the Haynes International Motor Museum, Sparkford near Yeovil in Somerset have a great collection of cars (about 400) and a large speedway bike collection.

 

 

 

 

1930 Norton.

 

1937 Ok Supreme Silver Cloud.

Clearly a man build for speed…….
