Indian Motorcycle Museum opened today
« on: March 15, 2014, 12:24:00 PM »
At 10:00 this morning the Australian Indian Motorcycle Museum opened in Geebung, Brisbane.
It was free entry today, and there were hundreds of bikes and riders present.
I can heartily recommend it being worth the $15 entry- it's an excellent collection beautifully presented.
I even bumped into Carrol there!   :grin

Some of the oldest:



Some of the finest:



Some true collector's items:



Some devotees:



Some casual people watching:



Some informative displays:



and some top artwork:





For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott
