    On a recent trip, a mate and I decided to stay overnight in Peterborough (South Australia). Peterborough has a lovely little motorcycle museum run by Ian (the owner and collector) and his wife. The museum is in an old church. $7 gets you through the door and, if you’re into other old world collectibles (I think it's called Bric-a-Brac), then this place has heaps on offer.

    Following are some of the collection. I tried to get as many “different” bikes as possible and hopefully I have put them in their right groups.

    Ian has an extensive range of small capacity motorcycles, a great many of which are from Italy. This is not a complete list of all the bikes on show, but it will give you an idea of what there is to see. I’d never heard of most of these bikes, so I guess @Murdo or one of the other more worldly/knowledgeable forum members can elaborate on any they think warrant an honourable mention. My favourite is at the end of this thread.

    The up to 50cc bikes
    Plenty of little bikes and motor-bicycles; I knew a few of these makes. Be cool to say you own a Maserati (even if it's a motorcycle)! There’s plenty in this group I would have loved to have ridden back when I weighed less than these bikes!

    My Favourite

    I’m a big fan of the Supercharged Benelli 250/4. Ian has one in his collection. See if you can tell what’s different about it?
