We are frequent visitors to the area, which lacks attractions-of-modern-interest..We were pleasantly surprised to find this brand new tourist destination. It is easily accessible, and beautifully designed in its simplicity. The posters and lead-in info are an appetite teaser, well designed and tasteful . The display hall is large, well lit and the two wheelers spaced out and easy to view. The 'bikes' themselves are really interesting for one and all, whether you are a bike enthusiast, or lived thru that era and had one yourself... There's a huge collection of mopeds, from the earliest ones to much later models - simple, elegant and probably still ideal for whizzing around thru traffic. For the die hard fans of "Hamara Bajaj", its a feast of several model (the curator informed us that the company had had almost 40 in their portfolio over the years. The had been the backbone of the two-wheeler-for-everyone concept. And the scooter was the platform from which most of us progressed on our journeys....it was really a ride down nostalgia lane. The Motorcycle section had a couple of the oldies - a 'Matchless' and a 'BSA', both from the years gone by....and then there were the Royal Enfields, Jawas (Yezdis) and Rajdoots that graced our roads in a pre-Japanese era.

The tent is well built and planned out to accommodate and preserve these motorcycles safely. The elderly gentleman who showed us around was truly a warm person who took the time to explain the history of each motorcycle. You could tell he loved his job and was actually passionate about it.
These motorcycles are owned by a single person from Pune. All information is posted in the premises and is worth the read. I don't want to divulge too much information about thr bikes on display, however it is worth mentioning that the owner has a special interest in motorcycles manufactured in India in the early days. There are some international ones too. Either way, you are in for a treat.
There are big plans to expand to include more motorcycles as previously mentioned plus a restaurant, ice cream stall, etc. Definitely recommend a visit. Looking forward to...
