"We stopped past on our journey through Tamworth and were pleasantly surprised by the motorcycle collection! Even though we're not bike enthusiasts, we really enjoyed seeing them. They're all in fantastic condition, and there are so many to look at. The staff member incredibly friendly and gave us some great information about the motorcycles, making our visit even better."

"Well worth a visit if you are interested in motorcycles. It's a private collection (or part thereof) and includes an impressive range of bikes from different eras. I think there were about 65 on display. 10 bucks to get in which I felt was good value for money. Check it out."
