Old bikes (photo heavy)
Discussion
This morning I helped a friend out by dropping one stuff off with another friend of his. Whilst there the friend of a friend mentioned he likes bikes and had a bit of a collection. Those who know me, know that I'm not an old bike fan, but this collection was frankly unreal. I took loads of photos, but we barely scratched the surface of his collection, which fills 7 rooms downstairs in his farmhouse, plus a few outbuildings.
All of them are proven historic race bikes, some serious kit here.
I considered popping this in the picture a day thread, but thought it might get a wider audience this way

That's very impressive
I watched a clip on Facebook the other day - which started out looking as if was some guy, probably in Texas, with a few guns (okay a lot of guns), but nothing worthy (seemingly) of 20 mins of film.
Then the clip moves through what looks like a series of purpose built 'sheds' - it's a veritable museum of uniforms on mannequins, all shrouded in plastic, guns/ammo/vehicles/flags/swords the odd tank.
How some people amass all of this stuff is amazing.
Nice find though!

Love it! Only thing wrong with all of that - taking care of it all and not being able to ride some of those fantastic bikes.
I really like the idea of a collection of my own (dreaming) but they'd all have to run and be ridable, I hate thinking about hostoric bikes or amazing cars sat idle not being used for what they were designed for once in a while!

Very impressive, although somewhat less so is the AR50 wheel on the wall. 
Agreed, amazing collection, who wouldnt want that to admire after a day at work.Re the wheel, does look like an AR item but could be something more exotic for one of those 125s...That said, have you seen the price of AR wheels now?!

That's really odd, I watched the same video. I don't like guns but watched because he had an extraordinary collection of weapons.I watched a clip on Facebook the other day - which started out looking as if was some guy, probably in Texas, with a few guns (okay a lot of guns), but nothing worthy (seemingly) of 20 mins of film.
