    Stuart Parr Collection

    If you're in New York in the near future, be sure to check out this collection. On Madison ave. from memory, this guy has a large collection of pre Cagiva MV Augustas, Ducatis and the odd Laverda on display, in a gutted shop (probably works as a tax deduction) MVs from the 600 to 750 and Magni and other modern iterations, Ducatis - 3 750 Sports and a green frame 750SS among a host of other bevel drives. These are all rideable, and, apparently, he does - he came in and took a couple of bikes out the day before we called in.......
    Money and bikes, eh?

    Envy.........

    The one on the wall is a Motobi 125

    Nice...and the first convincing argument I've ever heard to visit the place.

    The new york auto show is worth a visit too when it is on! It is friggen huge. I was standing there and my mate said to me that the girl standing on the other side of me was Yasmine Bleeth. I said "who?" He was disappoint!

    Also a very nice collection of bikes in Nelson in the same complex as the Wearable Arts Museum. All tucked into one corner but nice all the same.

    Wasn't a Britten when I visited at the start of last year but I wouldn't be surprised if they do now. Attached a couple of photos. Like I said, they were all in one little corner but there are some pretty famous names there.
