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?

Now he is a TRUE homo lol

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 old man'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, I love hondas, 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.

That'd be great, cheers.

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.
