GOMA - Gallery of Modern Art
On the 18th April, GOMA has worked with the local Italian motorcycle clubs to put on a free display outside on the green.


And today, I went back and walked through the GOMA exhibition for the third time. And I could do it again.
World class and excellent display of motorcycles. The name "Design, Art, Desire' works well for the display.

If any of my fellow countrymen that have not already seen the exhibition and can travel to Greater Brisbane before the 26th April than I suggest you consider the possibility?
For me, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity. Motorcycles are my passion. Lucky I'm a local eh.
See you on the 18th.

Hey Mark, don’t think I’ll be able to get to brizvagas this month, pity. Are they planning on displaying it anywhere else?

There was a similar exibition at Guggenheim museums about 20 years ago. I had the pleasure to visit it in Bilbao, impressive.
A book/ catalogue was issued and the most important bikes were in.
Maybe Qld is similar and a must go - if possible

Later they melted all the japanese bikes...

Hey Mark FYI the MV 4Cyl on display in GOMA is the one I restored and had on display at CLQ show 2012. Cheers

That MV 750.S still looks very desirable Ian, parked in front of the Laverda Jota.
I'd be more than happy to add all these Italians to my shed.

If you look closely up in the back corner, drowned out by Ducati you will see an example of 'why did you choose that one' token Jota - fantastic exhibition nonetheless.

Bring on Sunday I say
