Re: Visit Cornwall brtish bikes
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....
Regards Tony

Top tip - if it needs more than 2 bolts to hold it on, its probably important...

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.

Re: Visit Cornwall british bikes
If you wanted to go another 17 miles north of Camelford I could put the kettle on.
