1 / 3Mike Pero's Motorcycle Gallery
📍 Avonhead, Canterbury
A curated private gallery of vintage and classic motorcycles in a quiet Avonhead neighbourhood, spanning two-strokes to modern machines. Includes a flight simulator run by an experienced pilot. Open Fridays and weekends.
This stunning gallery is located quietly in a Christchurch neighborhood I am staying at. If you admire the nostalgia of old motorcycles and the story of Mike Pero and his brother Ian this is a must visit!! Thank you Mike and Mark for your kind hospitality, generosity, and a wonderful visit!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for motorcycle-enthusiast families and older kids who'll engage with the flight simulator. Adults absorb the personal story behind the collection; children who might tune out of a static display respond to the simulator. Vouchers make it a memorable gift for teenagers.

Overview
Mike Pero's Motorcycle Gallery sits quietly in a residential Avonhead street and delivers far more than the address suggests. The collection spans decades of motorcycle history — many bikes on loan from private owners — with two-strokes a particular highlight. Hosts Mike, Mark, and Terry Leach are knowledgeable and unhurried with every visitor. Captain John Pauwells runs the flight simulator, a genuine hands-on highlight for older children and adults.
