  - What Our Visitors Say
    - Testimonials
      - I have visited the National Motorcycle Museum several times now, both on my own and with my family. I was amazed at how many bikes were on display and how many different manufacturers bikes there were. We spent the day at the museum and enjoyed a delicious lunch at the cafe where the staff were lovely and helpful.
        
        Michael Canavan Visited January 2015
        
        Whilst restoring my BSA Bantam, I decided to make a visit to the NMM for inspiration. I found numerous models practically identical to mine – and the staff were so helpful.
        
        I even manage to obtain an original manufacturers manual from the BMS catalogue whilst I was there!
