(1/1)

Erny:
Maybe you catch his sad news - The Highest Motorcycle Museum (2175m above sea level, located in Tirol, on border Italy/Austria) unfortunately burned in fire.

There was amazing collection of bikes (more than 230, more than 100 brands.. and even some vintage cars). Never been there but was on my list to visit. :'(

Just look on their website - it was beautiful museum on beautiful place! https://www.crosspoint.tirol/en-museum

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
That's dreadful.

When I visited my relatives in Klagenfurt some 6 years ago or so ago Wendy & I went to the small private museum in Villach. The "Villacher Fahrzeugmuseum". Although it was relatively small they had a great collection of Autocycles, Mopeds, Motorcycle, & scooters including - Moto Guzzi, Zundapp,  Lohners, DKW, Puch, MZ, Vespa, Lambretta, Goggo, Garelli,   Maico, NSU, KTM, HMW, Honda, the odd Bri like an early Triumph.

Plus an interesting  collection of Microcars /Bubble Cars. All mainly pre-1960. A single floor museum with some additional motor cycles displayed on high wall shelves. There was of course a mandatory Mercedes SL & a Porsche.

Wendy was bored after half an hour but I managed to stay for about two hours. No photos were allowed without an additional  fee so I bough the 75 page catalogue instead.
