We went to Richmond to visit Emma’s family over the weekend. Saturday was a slow day, so Emma and I took a trip into downtown Richmond. I wanted to look up a bike shop I’d passed a few times on the way to MCC Richmond, but had never had the time to visit. It turns out that not only do they deal with Ducati and Royal Enfield, and have a great line of helmets and accessories, but they also deal with all kinds of classic bikes. When I went inside, I found out that
Velocity Vintage is like a museum of amazing and collectable bikes.
The bikes are pretty closely packed on the showroom floor – but the following few pictures should give you an idea, though they don’t do justice to the range of interesting machines there!
