I was lucky enough to live here from the age of 12 until my parents retired and moved out about 5 years ago! I’m 42 now…Us 3 children would have the run of the museum growing up as a single door led into one of the halls from our house, we seen the motorbikes everyday of our life..it was a truly magical place to live and a time I’ll never forget…I used to get up most mornings with my dad and open the museum up with him and greet all the workers, My dad died a year ago this month…His spirit will forever be in that place as well as our hearts…R.I.P Dad I love and miss you so much x
Lovely video - great to see, love the gentle and appreciative narration, highly appropriate for the subject matter in question - thanks for uploading, a pleasure to watch . .
Truly an unforgettable experience, going to the NMM. Such fine craftsmanship and detail. Eight large halls full of British bikes. Thanks to all, and for posting this.
Thanks for sharing these treasures! I've seen lots of brand's of motorcycles in my life, but this collection is loaded with many surprises. Great Craftsmanship on all those machines. All of them are in absolutely pristine condition. I especially enjoyed the BSA section, beautiful bikes. Watching this makes me feel like a Kid in a Candy Store! 🍬 🍭 🍬 Blessings from Georgia, USA 🙏 🪶🪶🪶
Bit late for the tour, but thanks for taking the time to give us a good look around! You've earned a big "Thumb's Up" from me. Apart from the sorry demise of nearly all of those once proud British marques, a few merely revived as "zombie badges" made largely in the Far East, the heartbreaking fact is that even if one DID manage to (re)manufacture any one of those lovely rides nowadays, wherever that might be, one couldn't legally use it on the road. My '05 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 "Iron Barrel" preunit single made in India, basically a '54 model they just forgot to stop making, was about the last of those "soulful" breeds one could buy new, but the bureaucrats put a stop to production of them about '08 or so owing to new emissions regs after well over half a century essentially unchanged. For those who cannot afford a now pricey proper "classic", even a fixer-upper, an Enfield Bullet will still scratch that primitive itch for just change from the sofa cushions. Don't believe the naysayers, who've often never owned or even ridden one! Once sorted, they're as reliable as any old British classic. They ain't for everybody, requiring a bit of fettling now and then, but in view of the low cost, I'm astonished EVERY rider who knows what end of a screwdriver to hold doesn't own one as maybe a 2nd or 3rd bike and Sunny Sunday thumper.
Brilliant vlog Albert! Dave has my Dads 1963 BSA. My dad was a motorcycle fanatic...he wouldve loved this vlog. Great job at putting this together...wonderfully done.👍🤗
Great Rhonda, what a nice thing to own, have you any pictures?, so many machines it was quite overwheming, I could easily go round again and still see something I had missed.xx
sorry to be off topic but does anybody know a tool to log back into an instagram account..? I was stupid lost my password. I appreciate any help you can offer me
@Cooper Frederick I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and im in the hacking process now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
It certainly brought back some memories, the workmanship of the old engineers was amazing, a lot of monies worth in there, unfortunately they had a fire some years ago in which a lot of machines were damaged, I can only praise the restores for there first class work.
The first time I went to England I wanted to see this but it was a long bus trip and my wife didn't want to go. I figured I could just go the next time I visited. Then it burned to the ground.
Does anyone know anthing about the history of the British S.O.S ? I've treid googling it and come up with Search and Rescue by motorcycle and loads of unrelated stuff but nothing about this British bike.

Very nice! Loved Steve McQueen's bike
Yes it was nice to see although it was a replica, my nephew bought a modern Triumph because he thought it looked a bit like Steve's bike in the film.
Amazing place hope to get there one day ,you lucky couple thanks for the video
I’ve been there about 30 years ago. From Japan. At that time I enjoyed touring England Wells and Isle of Man. I’ll go there again.

When I was a boy I lived in Shepherds Bush in London and I used to bike , pushbike to the Vincent shop on Goldhawk rd. I was only 12/13 years old.
Awesome. No words
Amazing museum ! TY
Thank you for share your video. Maybe in future will be possible to see it on my eye.
That’s just amazing ! ...
Show!👏👏👏
Beautiful good
Great Video Albert, whens the next visit, i could watch that all over again
I fancy a little bimble up Country for a visit. Should only take about half a day to get there on my old Ariel.
The Brits seem to like "clip-on" handle bars! I like the collection that this museum has assembled!! As they put it..."brillliant".
Ton up club ♣
I've never seen so many different motorbikes
