You've done a tremendous service here Dick. Thanks for doing your part in drawing attention to this important collection. Glad you made the time to revisit.

[@DickWhistles]

Kevin Daly it was really a thing to behold. Great little museum, friendly knowledgeable staff and lashings of dripping oil! All the best.

[@morrisminor56]

that museum is better than i thought it would be.

[@DickWhistles]

christopher brown Thanks for the comment. It is better than I expected also. Worth a visit.

[@chrisbolton2500]

Fascinating........and, really well presented, thank you. It would be a tragedy if the collection were to be lost, you mention a couple of imaginative solutions. Surely this isn't beyond the wit of man.

[@DickWhistles]

Chris Bolton Thanks for the comment. I hope it is "beyond the wit of man!" Great turn of phrase, by the way.

Nice review. Did the combined LMM & Ace visit back in February and had a great day out (also on an RE Classic). A fantastic collection of rare and wonderful machines but it's the people that make the place, spent ages on a number of one on one chats with the volunteers who know more about these bikes and biking than I will probably amass in a life time, even an honesty box for the drinks and snacks !! Go before it's too late.

What a place of beauty to behold! A great and honorable community service there sir, well done. I hope the museum survives and prospers despite the best attempts of HM nit picking tax collectors. Ray

[@DickWhistles]

jimmy marks Thanks. Stay tuned!

[@dougmarsh5080]

Excellent!

[@DickWhistles]

Thanks for the comment. If you get a chance got over for a visit on the odd Monday.

[@StevesAutoNtrucks]

Carrying12 pounds is a lot to fit in a tour pocket lol, yeah I'm from the U.S.A. thanks for sharing

[@dionmoore879]

Great video Man, We have one here in the states. Maggie Valley, NC, Wheels Through Time. They only showcase American Motorcycles. Nice place to spend a long afternoon. I'm pretty sure they don't get raped for 40k UKP for the privilege to share history. I would like to have more info on the old dude that rode that Royal Enfield.

[@chrisredfield3240]

104 miles from me, maybe worth a look. Does it sit outside the congestion charge area? Only just past the m25 from me. (Bristol)

[@DickWhistles]

Chris Hart Thanks for the comment. Yes, well outside the Congestion Zone. Give a holler if you ride down and I'll meet you for a milk shake at the Ace. Ride safe.

[@johnsmithGMAiL8888]

Chris Hart hi bikes are exempt :-)

[@StevesHornet900]

...it's scandalous that the council seem to be bleeding the museum dry. Have they approached the owners of the Shoreditch 'Bike Shed' for support , or possible relocation ?

[@StevesHornet900]

....oho ! I just heard the last few comments....!

[@AlexOnABoat]

Sadly soon to close, the 7th of October will see the doors locked for the last time.

[@DickWhistles]

Alex sad. But I don’t think they were suited or in the position to change to survive.
