its just the fact that he wont sell them that makes it a shame,they could be sat in my or somone elses bike room,i guess the plus side tho is that at least they are in sunny arizona,imagine the condition theyd be in if they were in a wet uk junk yard

I dont think its a big deal. There are definitely some nice bikes there but 99.9% of the stuff in that lot is just junk. You can tell he knows it by the fact he has taken the few good bikes and hung them up out of the sun and rain. Guys like that would be nobody without their "hoard". Its their claim to fame and in many cases their identity, which is why they hang on to all of it. There will come a time though when he will realise its all just junk and the novelty will ware off. Someone will come along and offer him some money for the entire place and he will no doubt take the cash and vanish...

That person will then scrap the whole lot and build a hotel on the land.  :daumenhoch:  :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:

I love seeing photos like this, for me its not about what I could get from him and at what price.

Its more about what I can spy in the heaps.... just love it
