    Yesterday I & my partner went to town to pick up our usual supplies. On the way we passed a shed. The shed had glass doors. Ive looked into it often. There are a norton, douglas & a triumph all very old. The front doors were open. Wow ! We stopped & said Hi. He said he was turning it into a bikers coffee shop. He said after I bought a coffee "come & look at the big shed behind". Fucken WOW ! He opened the door. First thing I bumped into was a morgan 3 wheeler (mint going) heaps of motor cycle engines & frames & tanks & wheels. There were many complete bikes a lot with old style girder forks 20s, 30s & 40s bikes. Spotted an old Indian (army green) & a early 70s harley both complete & going. He is a collector & wont sell a nut. He wouldnt let me take pics. In 2 weeks or so he will open his coffee shop then we can take pics. This is a must see bike collection in Tasmania for bike nuts. I will get back in a couple of weeks & take pics for you all. cheers

    Look forward seeing some pics !!! What town was this in ??
    I was in Tassie a few weeks ago and was going through Bicheno, (east coast), and in the corner of my eye saw a building with Motorcycle Museum written on it... Stopped and had a look around .. About 50 -60 older bikes in great condition. Only a few Harleys, but it was great to see some old classics ...
