Hi Peter, whilst there are some fabulous roads and scenery here in Cornwall, we don't have a particular bike museum...To be honest most of the classic bikes down here are still used!
There is a car dealership, Hawkins Motors, and the owner who is from the older generation has a private collection of bikes and if asked nicely he will show interested people, but it's not really a museum....

There is also Camelford Bike Bits, old school Brit bike shop....

A bit of a distance from Cornwall but Sammy Millers must be the place to go.

We visited Hawkins Motors during the Cornwall VMCC Rally week last year, there are some very nice pieces of machinery there plus a Cafe to relax in after looking around the bikes. Well worth a visit.

Well thanks. See on maps that hawkins is 14 miles up the road and camelfordbikebits bit further up north. Half a hour drive.

If you wanted to go another 17 miles north of Camelford I could put the kettle on.

And I'm about twenty minutes from Camelford and I've got some lightweight bits that i have found when i tidied out the garage last month.
