Museo Angel Nieto, Madrid

I was in Madrid last weekend to see El Canto Del Loco in concert (and they were awesome by the way, totally awesome...) and during the remainder of a weekend of chilling, wandering and enjoying the place, went to the Angel Nieto Museum; dedicated to the Spanish legend.
It's a great place, stacked out with bikes, leathers, photos and trophies from across his entire career, and a wall of messages and signatures from other Spanish riders and names (including Jorge Martinez, but not Alvaro Bautista sadly) - and even has the leathers form the 2008 "90+90" Celebration with Valentino Rossi. If you're in Madrid, it's well worth a look for a MotoGP fan; and you can find it a short way along the Avenida del Planetario, just around the corner from the Mendez Alvaro Metro station.
Here's a few pics...
