Motormuseum Friesland: classics by appointment

At Gerrit and Greetje Miedema’s in Raerd there is a private collection of around thirty historic motorcycles, mainly Harley-Davidson and British makes, alongside a few vintage cars.

Plan your visit ↗

Motorcycles side by side

Seeing several makes in one space lets you compare differences in tank, frame, drive and riding position. Start with features you observe yourself before reading about a make’s story or year of manufacture.

British and American

The research card mentions Harley-Davidson, BSA and AJS. Use those names as a way into differences in design, but do not adopt any precise model history without an object label; the online documentation is too limited for that.

Cars as a counterweight

A few vintage cars set the motorcycles alongside another type of vehicle. Compare steering position, bodywork and space for passengers to see how different means of transport required different choices from their makers.

Before you go

This is not a walk-in museum. Get in touch in advance and have the date, time and address confirmed; online information about the collection is brief.
