How the council’s directory described it
Read the full description council directory, about 2024
What is believed to be NZ's first permanent public display of classic Japanese motorcycles is now open. On display are over 60 motorcycles from the 70s, 80s & 90s, loaned from owners & collectors nationwide. The venture is the brainchild of Mike Pero, who has always had an "absolute passion for motorcycles". He believes many former & current riders have an appreciation for the heritage of their motorcycles, and is hoping the gallery gives the public an opportunity to appreciate the classic machines. Admission: adult $15, child $8, under 5s free (concessions, group & family passes available). Open Wednesday - Sunday 10am-5pm
