While at Alan's home motorcycle workshop getting my motorcycle shocks fixed and the bike serviced, I was amazed to find that he is a full on motorcycle enthusiast. Alan has in the region of about 30 restored motorcycles of all sizes and shapes ina separate set of rooms at his home integrated into the workshop.

When he is not busy doing the more mundane motorcycle services for customers, he is working on restoring all sorts of bikes to their former glory.

The largest collection of model motorcycles I've seen

My attention was drawn to the many model motorcycles that Alan has collected over time. You can see more of his museum on his website here: http://www.bikealanpe.co.za/Museum.html

Monkey bike's are one of his favourite collectibles

I have to say, all round it was a most interesting Saturday morning spent at Alan's workshop. Not only did he sort out my Bike and fix and service it, he also offered the chance to browse and talk about old bikes.
