dreamcycle motorcycle museum

On the way to see the Adam's River salmon run we stopped for coffee at Sprockets in Sorrento. The coffee and butter tarts were excellent and if you are at all into motorcycles the co-located Dreamcycle Museum is a must see.

We heard about this museum and Mark's passion on tripadvisor. The collection is fabulous for bycycle lovers. The fee is $10 for Audio tour and it has loads of stories about the bike, the company and the passion of the owner. The souvenir shop has tons of miniatures on sale.A great hidden gem in the salmon arm area.

A small, cozy restaurant serving delicious homemade food. Their soups and desserts are so flavourful - totally made from scratch. I have had lunch here numerous times and have never been disappointed.

We happened onto the Dreamcycle motorcyclke museum quite by chance. We almost didn't go in and then almost didn't pay to go through the museum. Am I ever glad we did. The bikes are very well displayed and represent a large span in motorcycle evolution. It is a bit cramped but it is a private collection so mark is doing great with the space he has. Plan to spend a bit of time with the elf guided tour and if Mark (the owner) isn't busy he probably will come and talk about some of the bikes with info that isn't redily avaiable. Overall a very worthwhile experience.

The Dreamcycle museum has bikes of all vintages, some real classics. There are both written signs and audio devices for more information.

This museum is very well put together. I was so impressed with his collection, the self-guided tour with informative commentaries and theatre. The gift shop and coffee shop are great too! It is a big pricey but if you take the time to take full advantage of everything that is included in admission, it is well worth the money. Glad we did it!

The vast wasteland between Salmon Arm and Kamloops isn't exactly anyone's idea of a tourist attraction, but this place is a must stop for any motorcyclist doing the coast to coast trip. The museum is surprisingly small but they do cram a lot of bikes into the space. Unfortunately some are literally piled over others so it can make it difficult to see in the surprisingly dim lighting. Although the $10 admission fee is only worth it to the truly dedicated bike history freak, it's not too outrageous. I would argue that there are many fairly late model motorcycles in this museum that can readily be seen on the street so they're not quite museum pieces yet. However, there are some excellent examples of early motorcycling although the mid-50s to the early 70s seem to be a bit underrepresented and that's a shame as that was the era when motorcycling really exploded onto the public consciousness. Also there are far too many junk bikes in rusty, worn-out pre-restoration stage which really don't say much for the quality of the collection. Make it bigger, put in more lighting, put in only bikes in good condition, and then even $20 wouldn't be an inordinate amount for the serious motorcyclist.

made a special stop to check out this museum after attending a celebration of life in Salmon Arm. Impressed that they were open on the long weekend and the two fellas were really nice. We checked out the gift shop area but thought $10 was a bit high to go into to check out bikes we most likely have seen before well for our pocket books this time around anyway. $5 we would've done it in a heartbeat. yes we get that there are costs involved however we weren't the only folks who thought it too pricey to go in. The theatre is free or by donation tho. We opted to use what meger funds we had to chow down in the Sprokket cafe that is adjacent to the museum. Really fresh bread goods that they bake themselves daily. Had a mini sprocket which is their version of a egg mcmuffin for $3.95 it was a good deal. like I said really fresh bread and hearty portion of bacon or ham with egg. Next trip that way, I'll stop in on the way to the event when I have more $ and take in the museum. Still think that $10 is a little pricey tho.

first of all. Leave your gf at home. (unless she loves bikes as much as you)there were a great collection of all sorts of bikes there with radio headsets which tell you stories of the bike and the little details about them. I was very impressed on the quality of this bike museum. you can easily spend a few hours there if you are into bikes. There's also a movie room at the back playing old gran prix days.

You would never know by the "out of the big city" location that there would be such an impressive collection of bikes... and a great variety! Its not just a Harley or Sport-bike museum, it has a good representation all across the board.A great stop for any bike enthusiast!

This is a new attraction I have visited 2 times this past summer. For anyone interested in vintage motorcycles, this is a must see! Right beside the Trans Canada Hwy, with easy access, and a nice little cafe if you are there around meal time. It's a nice ride for me as I live just a bit North of Kamloops, and I have stopped in with some of my friends. Be sure to give yourself lots of time, as the IOM TT video showing in the little theater will have you wanting more. Hope the displays are still the same next summer!

Mark Lane has an excellent collection of motorcycles and tells the story from very old motorcycles with unique stories behind them. He did a one-on-one visit with us as we were going through to make sure that we were fully appreciating the stories and uniqueness of many of the motorcycles on display. We also took time to watch the movie in the Theatre.
