as always, skip the 1st minute. But in this case, skip 1:12
Peter Nettesheim owns a Freightliner dealership. Finding all these bikes, restoring them, riding them, and maintaining them, he also keeps every single vehicle registered, tagged, and running is just his hobby.
Nettesheim’s museum isn’t open to the public. It’s an add-on to his house in a quiet residential neighborhood and accessible only by invitation.
The zoning board was not allowing him to build a museum, as you might understand, Long Island people are not open to a motorcycle museum in their neighborhood, but allowed him to categorize it as an art museum (because snooty New York millionaires are into art galleries) proving that things are possible if you're clever

Nettesheim’s collection is filled with more than 100 classic and modern BMW motorcycles as well as some BMW cars, including a few BMW Isetta microcars. “Basically, I have all of the rare models. I have every model from 1923 up until 1970, and then after 1970 I have another 35 or so more,” said Nettesheim, referring to his motorcycles.
Nettesheim has been collecting BMWs for more than four decades. “I’m a restorer, I’m a machinist and I’m a mechanic by hobby. That’s my real passion,” he said, explaining that his collection began not because of a love of motorcycle riding, rather because of “a tremendous passion for engineering and machinery. In BMW, I see the best machining.”
