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.
Here is a short list of the most important
motorcycles that we have:
