wow.
Came across this whilst browsing.

Obvious questions are did the collection/museum ever get finished and is the owner a visitor to this forum.

Given the location of the starter of that thread and some of the stuff that is visible in the pics, I think the pics are of Bob Smith's Bimota Spirit operation. Bob has what he refers to as his "museum". Here is a pic of the "Tesi Room"

Ah yes it all clicks now!
Came across this vid on Utube for Bob Steinbugler?

This is some collection (and he's got a big Laverda sign outside too!...good taste!)
