Once inside you are welcomed by an amply filled exhibition of various makes and types of scooter, a wooden floor which together with the bar and the advertisements for Belgian beers evokes the atmosphere of some grand watering hole – and, of course, the classic motorcycles being offered for sale.

There was a good range of stuff on offer, from a number of flat tankers to present-day grand tourers. Prices were generally around the same as in the Netherlands, though the scooters were quite pricey. Still, scooters are going up in Holland too. As always there were some interesting items to be found, but you had to look. Unfortunately it could have been a bit busier, and we gathered the Saturday had been quite quiet too. A good reason to make sure you go next time to taste that distinctly different atmosphere!

The next Moto-Retro is on 14 and 15 February 2004 and will include an expo on "Harley versus Indian -
The Early Years".
