    I've got a map that shows a Motorcycle Museum just outside Kopane (a little to the left of Palmerston North), but there's no mention of it on the Intermaweb, does anyone know whether it exists or not?Due to not paying enough attention in school, I find myself in Dannevirke for 7 days, I'm on day 2, and I've already run out of things to do.

    Hi Alex, when we were at the Nat Rally in Waipuk last January a bunch of the guys rode over to Palmy to visit a bike museum and I'm pretty sure it was this one in Kopane.  However to get it right I just rang Gerrard and he tells me it is there but is a private museum and not one that you can just wander in to.  Perhaps someone who was on the run back in January will pick up your post and  offer some advice.Good luck Malcolm
