FuzzyNugs 0 Posted August 24, 2013 Just wanted to share this great find with the forum. My mom was just in town visiting from VA, so I figured I'd take her up to Temecula to see the wine country since she likes wines. With over 40 vineyards it was hard to pick, but I stumbled upon one with the description of a vintage motorcycle collection and knew I had to see it. I lucked out as they only show the bikes Thursdays and Sundays from 10-noon and I got there just at noon. Fortunately the owner's son let me into the Moto-Barrel room to see the majority of the collection even though it was in disarray from recent bottling. He said they not only collect, but also race vintage bikes. Here are a few pics of what you might find at the Doffo Vineyard. Could make for a fun day trip to head out through Anza and up to Temecula, taste some wine, drool over bikes, and then head home. Grapes just a week or two away from harvest Massive ageing barrel I presume(I don't know much about wine) Inside the tasting room Ferrari made a razor scooter? I have no clue what this was, but it was tiny and looked fun The owner(absent during the visit) obviously loves motorcycles Stuck my camera through the door of their workshop I knew Benelli made things before their famous shotguns, but motorcycles? I wasn't aware Bridgestone had a bike either This is a Harley I could see myself on The awesome Moto-Barrel room, too bad I don't know my bike history to really appreciate what I was seeing A reminder from when smoking was cool Lot's of neat old stuff in excellent condition, those American Pickers nerds would drown in their own drool And if it wasn't obvious already, the owner seems to be a Ducati fan. Check it out sometime. Would make a good backcountry street ride too with a lady friend or wife. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dirt dame 561 Posted August 24, 2013 Nice pix. Nice collection. I actually rode one of those Bridgestone 100s a long time ago. For all I know, it could have been that exact one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SnowAviation 0 Posted September 7, 2013 Did you meet the owner? He's quite a character. I went up there a couple of years ago with a Yamaha FJR group that I belong to, the owner gave us a tour and talked about some of the bikes. He then pulled out one of his old looking Ducatis and went riding with us. Don't know how old it was but it looked and sounded old. Great little winery that any motorcycle enthusiast would enjoy.

FuzzyNugs 0 Posted September 7, 2013 Did not get to meet the owner and it would have been nice to hear something about the bikes. As I stated earlier, my motorcycle knowledge is sparse but any idiot can tell when something is old and rare. That's what this place is. Also SnowAviation, my Chrome browser came up with a malware notice when I clicked the link. Are your pictures hosted on a private website? May want to check it for anything malicious.
