Overview

Located in Kirk Michael on the west coast of the Island this is an exemplary private collection of vintage motorcycles.

The collection includes over 100 motorcycles – many rare and valuable – with names including Triumph, AMC, BSA, Vincent and Moto Guzzi to name just a few.

There is a particular focus on machines from the 1930s and all machines are kept running and in pristine condition. Additionally there are usually a few bikes undergoing restoration to bring them back to their former glory.

The Old Vicarage, where the collection is housed, is a stunning building that’s over 250 years old.

Guided tours of the property are also run by prior appointment.
