Popped down ta Browny's Yesterday (around 700km round trip from Whangarei, OK I was bored). Was looking forward ta sampling his beers and ta check out his "Bike Museum". Hate ta say I was a little disappointed. He hasn't started brewing yet (still waiting for some micro brewery gear) and didn't seem to know which types of beer he was planning to brew when all the gear has arrived, so there goes the Brewery bit for now. As for the Museum, there are only 6 bikes present there at the moment. Hope there are more to come.
Obviously early days for Browny's. He has put a lot of work into this place and is on to a good Idea. Look forward ta visiting him again, once he is fully set-up.

Hi there,

Are there any more pictures of the shop out there? Does he have a poster of Scott Russell at the 1993 Suzuka 8 Hour on the wall? (Shared the bike with Aaron Slight that year ...)

Any updates on happenings at this place and some of us are looking at heading over Sunday for lunch - I assume it is open on Sunday's???

About 20 of us rode down there a few sundays ago.
Great place, a few bikes to look at inside, great food, the beer drinkers enjoyed their beers, good bike parking
The owner made sure we were happy and thanked us all for coming.
well worth a ride I say, we will be going back.

Sounds great, if I'm ever in the area I'll pop in for a pizza. Hope it all works out for him.

I've only been riding for 4 weeks and the trip out to Browny's is a nice little jaunt. Been there three times now, went for a flat white this afternoon. For a Tauranga beginner it's a nice little run for a cup of coffee or a burger.

The entry is on the side road, Country Engineering is on the same corner and is more visible if you're coming from Tauranga. Pull into the carpark and turn immediately right for motorbike parking, that way you can sit outside and keep an eye on your bike or dribble over some of the other machinery turning up.

One of the waitresses rides a Bonneville T100 800cc to work and parks it on the grass in the motorbike parking area. Ah, where has she been all my life?

OK, OK, I know the answer is, "unborn for most of it!"
