Apparently he's a farmer from Darfield (Canterbury), and his profile on Trademe says "I collect Honda motorcycles and have a museum of over 100 bikes and am still looking for the classics.I love riding my goldwings and touring NZ and support GWRRA and Ulysses."
Who is he, can I go visit his musem? What's it like?
Sounds very interesting. Anyone been there?

Prob bull?
Just write on your profile: "I have 5000 exotic cars! Ranging from Alfa to Zil!"
But really, there is a guy who owns about 5000 cars..... Let's not begin talking about him cause it might bring out lots of jealousy lol

Is he selling anything? Ask him a question on an auction.

The <acronym title="ToyCollector10">old man</acronym>'s been promising to take me out there for about the last 6 months but to no avail. From what I hear he's got all sorts of treasure. So what, <acronym title="I might be able to score a mint '71 CB175 for my first bike!">I love hondas</acronym>, screw you guys!

There was a write up and couple of photos in the Honda Riders Club mag earlier in the year. They went for a visit on their South Island tour. Sounds like quite a collection.
I'll drag out the mag for another read and let you know if it says where and how much for a look.

The place is pretty darn impresive, went out for a look, camera'less a couple of years back, as part of a ride. A mass of bikes packed into a huge shed. scooters, big bikes, police bikes, a harley davidson golf cart, just heaps of it.
Deff worth getting in for a loook.

Sounds like you guys would be amazed to hear how many collectors have how many bikes.
I know probably 15 folk who each have more than 40 bikes, one who has more than 300.
These folks don't have museums open to the public; the bikes're just their own interests.
The fookin machines just get together in the sheds in winter and breed. That's why you see the fresh restorations in springtime.

He's too busy living life to be wasting time on this forum. Collecting bikes and riding all over the U.S of A. last time I heard. Living the life. As for the Honda homo thing...how pathetic it all is.....They produced the first bike in the world that would start every time and run for years and years with just an oil change and a fresh filter. I had an old BSA A10 that was a P.O.S. Hands covered in oil and crap while I was trying to get it started in the rain...and there just wasn't any way around that. I like Hondas and just wish I had the foresight and space to do what he has done.......
Now go on, pay me out......

Hey Mate, right on!
I put up with Triumphs in my early years. There is a lot of nostalgia attached to them now, but they really were pieces of shit. If you were thinking of taking a day trip - a week of preparing the bike was required. And if you got there without having to carry out roadside repairs, that was remarkable. The right boot and/or shoe was continually soaked in oil from the archaic plunger that indicated there was (some) oil pressure.
Then Honda made the CB750k.
Todays motorcyclists are indebted to Sochiro. :clap::clap:
