Browsing one of the most extensive motorcycle collections in the world (300 classic and vintage bikes) courtesy Tom Sturgess.

My favorite highlight of the visit: The V 1000. A carbon race bike produced by the late great John Britten. Only 10 in existence. All apparently housed in museums and private collections around the world.

Today, I had the pleasure to view 3 of the 10 Britten carbon race bikes.
