Bother! Beat me to it! Thanks for taking us along DD, I know the LMM needs as much exposure as it can get (and I believe is under threat of closure) so this can only help.....great stuff as ever.....cheers - TMF
+TheMissendenFlyer Any publicity is good for the place, that's for sure. I believe recent lease developments have secured their future for now but it would be a shame to lose it, so encourage all you can to visit. Ride safe chap
What a fantastic video. I'll definitely visit it next time I'm in London. This type of video is exactly what I'm always searching for in the Collective. It's seeing new, interesting things. Sometimes even the most (for you) mundane places or activities make great videos. The usual action cam footage of the road going by, although visually appealing, gets boring really quickly. Unless you're riding through a nudist beach, that is. You're a very interesting persona. I can't get enough of your videos! Ride warm! Get a jar or an old tea tin. Drop a £2 coin in it every day. More instructions will follow.
+Alex Ferreira You're very kind Alex, this is my favourite way to spend time not riding a bike. I grew up fascinated by the British motorcycle industry (the good and the bad) and it's never left me. Keep a beer cold for me :)
Fantastic video mate. When I look at the old stuff I often think that there are very few new ideas. More like refinement of original concepts thought up by others years ago.
Looks a great place for a visit, not too flashy either. Yep it's the T120R for me. My mate John has one. Around 200,000 on the clock, still on the original bores (he tells me one is now due) and still going like stink. Nice commentary too. Hope you're in good form and ride safe it's gettin' wintery out there! :-)
+pgod1960 It is a lovely place and, as you say, not too flash. It's more of a large collection than a museum and only takes a relatively short while to walk around, however the volunteers manning the show are very knowledgeable and easily engaged in conversation so the day was joyously filled. I was stood for an hour at one point just discussing the hand painted tank badge on a 1920's TT bike. Anorak or what........Keep safe at this grotty time of year my friend
lovely job and a bargain day out at that entry fee... i sam a hinkley tanked machine so gonna have to slo mo to find it again as the only ones i have any first hand experience of ....
Some lovely hardware, but reckon I got more chance of owning the bikes at the NEC unless they having started offering finance on the Brough Superior. Interesting place, cheers for taking us along.
+GTs Garage Some of the stuff there looks a little ordinary but there are some quite historically interesting and special items, for instance; the boat thing in the shed with the sprint bikes is a Vincent! It was a commercial flop so not many to be found.
+Fossilsoft Not been to the Norfolk Motorcycle Museum as it's a four hour ride from me, but if I'm ever in the area I'll be sure to check it out. Cheers for watching
Very nice Dave, missed the whole Brit bikes thing when I was a nipper, it was all Japanese.Can still appreciate the engineering though,where there any Scotts there? Nice way to spend a few hours 👍🏻

Awesome bikes, I like the cutaway Triumph showing the internals working. Thanks for showing.
+02bigkev Great stuff eh, that particular one was from a police training establishment to give the Bobbies an idea how an engine worked
Great visit and thoroughly informative and interesting commentary - Great job Duke.

Oh Dave,,,, inspired alternative to the big show up north,,,, i must visit as its obviously a bonnie heads heaven. boogietj
+Tony Jeffery Bill Crosby (of Reg Allen fame), the museum's founder is a great Triumph fan; and it shows. Lovely collection
Very nice Dave, missed the whole Brit bikes thing when I was a nipper, it was all Japanese.Can still appreciate the engineering though,where there any Scotts there? Nice way to spend a few hours 👍🏻
+ninjanelly350 No Scotts; can you believe it! Without Scott we'd have never had the kickstart! The king of water cooled 2 strokes :)
There is a scott unless it was out that day.
