Controlling the airflow and ignition from a lever? I can't imagine how much concentration that riders had to show back in this era. We bikers have it too easy by the sounds of it these days!
What a splendid mecca for true enthusiasts! Now I know where I can scoot off on a cosseted featherbed Norton. James! Please retire "iconic!" The Norton rotaries are NOT iconic, in fact, they were a radical departure from tradition. The brilliant featherbeds (which you don't even mention) are iconic
Missing first Rc588, first Rcw588 this was also the first twinshock, Missing first NRS588. They also are missing Two TT rotary bikes and a NW200. The RC588 had 3 chassis designs, all three of the 2nd design are in private hands. Race production was prototype never raced. Spondon RC588 10 made. All but 3 converted to Later water cooled spec. Spondon RCW water cooled only 4 plus 1 Stronger framed Development bike the last rcw. Harris framed NRS 5 bikes made. Roton/ Duckhams 4 bikes made. The only ones they have all 4. The bike they claime was Dunlop’s Rcw still had 89 bodywork in 1990 and never received the chassis modifications for 90. They have the real bike 406 in the museum the only RC chassis to get 1990 modification. It carry’s Culls name who never rode it.
Great video. Thanks for making it. Definitely going to visit the museum.
Excellent video, thank you for your coverage, much appreciated 👍👍
No problem 👍
Fantastic to see this exists. One Day I plan to journey there.
I saw the first view
Realy classic 👌
I wonder if they have the rarest old British bike. One without an oil leak. 😉

NMM - A dreadful organisation in my book.
