The Motorcycle Museum of Vransko, Slovenia: Here's a note from Janez Grom, the Director: "I have just seen your nice web page on the internet. I must say it is very nicely designed.
I have seen that you have a list of motorcycle museums with links. I kindly invite you to visit the website of our private museum. It holds the biggest collection of racing TOMOS 50cc bikes in the world dating from 1961 to 1982.
We have one of the largest European collections of Puch motorcycles before 1914. Because of our geographic position we have decided to make and present to the public a fusion of eastern and western motorcycle history. Therefore we have in our collection both American, Italian, English, French, German, as well as motorcycles from Poland, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Litva, Estonia, USSR. All these machines are pre-WWII.
