A visit to the National Motorcycle Museum on the Spring Bank Holiday Monday / Late May Bank Holiday Monday.
The National Motorcycle Museum occupies an 8-acre (32,000 m2) site in Bickenhill, Solihull, England and holds the world's largest collection of British motorcycles. In addition to over 1,000 motorcycles, which cover a century of motorcycle manufacture, the museum developed award winning conference facilities (The National Conference Centre) in 1985. It is located close to the junction of the A45 and the M42, close to Birmingham Airport and the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) Birmingham and attracts over 250,000 visitors a year.
The Museum owes its formation to the drive and ambition of one man, construction entrepreneur and self-made millionaire Mr WR (Roy) Richards, who started collecting good examples of British motorcycles in the 1970s. The museum opened in October 1984 with an initial collection of 350 machines. Roy passed away in 2008 but his work continues under the guardianship of Roy’s Widow Christine & Son’s - Simon and Nick Hartland. The Museum collection is curated by Museum Director - James Hewing.
