"WHAT A WONDERFUL MOTORCYCLE WORLD" The virtual encyclopaedia of motorcycles? The virtual Tragatsch? The virtual museum of motorcycles? This is just an honest attempt at a listing of all motorcycles to share with all motorcyclists. If you know of any that should be included please drop me a line and if you have any photos of any brand that could be used to complete the index please send them to me, thanks. Going strong since 1996 but as site gets older so do I and updates take longer. Such is life! Muzza
