Our story a long long time ago...

Motorcycle Museum’s and Ace Corner’s history begins when Riku Routo, size of foam extinguisher, learned to talk. His first word meant motorcycle. As Riku got older he bought his first motorcycle in year 1960. The bike was Triumph 200 cc. Riku saved the money for the motorcycle by selling gun cores he had found from shooting range. With the sandwiches made by Routo’s Mom, he got pass the guardian dog Saku, who guarded the shooting range.

In 1980 Routo established a motorcycle store called Riku Motor with Mato Valtonen and Sakke Järvenpää. Allready back then Routo thought about establishing a Motorcycle Museum. The store is still active even tough Riku promised he’d quit the business while the latest depression.

In 2008 Routo bought the building where Museum and Ace Corner operate today. The building has long history as a wood drying kiln in the shore of lake Vesijärvi. In 2008 the surroundings of the building was full of ships and scrap and the building was in very bad condition. There was a lot of work to do.

Local companies understood the importance of establishing Finland’s Motorcycle Museum. Companies gave building equipmets with discount or as donation. The red tiles were brought from old Mallasjuoma factory which was in the 1970’s Finland’s leading brewery. 100 tiles of Mallasjuoma factory were signed by 15 World Championships holder Giacomo Agostini. By selling these tiles Routo gathered money to build Motorcycyle Museum. Giacomo Agostini is the God Father of Motorcycle Museum and he has visited Museum few times and his MV Agusta 500 was in the Museum for week in the summer 2017. 28th of May in 2008 was the grand opening of Motorcycle Museum and Ace Corner Finland.

Motorcycle Museum was chosen in 2016 and 2017 by Trip Advisor the most popular attraction in Lahti. Motorcycle Museum attracts every year international visitors for all over the world, the furthest visitors have come all the way from Australia. Last year the Motorcycle Museum and the events of Ace Corner attracted visitors from 30 different countries and more than 50 000 people took part of the events.
