Trev Deeley Motorcycle Museum - Vancouver

by Nathan

Activity

My uncle David who lives on Vancouver Island, told me a secret: he said don't tell Aunt Lucy, but when him and his twin brother Dan turned forty they were both going to purchase a brand new Harley-Davidson and head down the highway of life. Well forty has come and gone, and they still haven't got their Harleys, but when uncle David's in town he likes to visit the Trev Deeley Motorcycle museum, ...and fantasize about motoring down an open road, the wind flowing through his thinning hair. The museum has over 270 units - 50 different makes and models on 2 levels of display, many pictures and memorabilia to get sentimental about. Here's some words to hum to on your visit (lyrics by John Kay of Steppenwolf): get your motor running head out on the highway lookin' for adventure in whatever comes our way here and God are gonna' make it happen take the world in a love embrace fire all of your guns at once and explode into space I like smoke and lightning heavy metal thunder racin' with the wind and the feeling that that I'm under like a true nature's child we were born, born to be wild we can climb so high I never want to die born to be wild born to be wild
