Amazing collection/man cave
Discussion
Hey, so I bought a couple of car parts from a guy. I get there and it's a farm. An older farmer type guy greets me,and we start chatting about cars and motorbikes.
He then takes me over to what I thought was a milking type shed and what I saw suprised the f
k out of me. What a man cave which included 4 mv agusta f4 including an Oro and Ago. Also a JPS Norton? with only 30 miles on it. As well as other motorcycles like ducatis and a Benelli 6 cylinder.
Goes to show, you never know what's behind the barn door or milking shed.
Thought I would share a few pictures, a great guy.

Love the panda & assorted soft toys!
Yep, I live near several small farms & have seen some pretty weird collections, many featuring classic tractors, military stuff & one bloke who has a tank with matching transporter lorry.
No idea how they can afford these things given the dire state of UK farming

Now you know where all those farming subsidies went!
Joking aside, did he ride any of them, or did he just collect them?
He has more, he rides his 70s classics more these days.Joking aside, did he ride any of them, or did he just collect them?
He also owners 2 ferrari's.
You would never have guessed in a million years. When he greeted me he was an older gentleman with heavy jacket and welly boots in his farm yard
This is the sort who is a borderline hoarder really. You often see them on Chasing Classic car or Shed and buried and similar shows.
A 'collection' I think is vehicles or stuff you can walk round and admire and even have access to get in and and out, to tinker with and to maybe use? Stuff rammed in like that indicates somebody with issues, IMHO of course.

You just hope he is savvy enough to drain the fuel.
I get annoyed when I see hoards like this. They need one loving owner each, who will ride and cherish it.
A friend of a friend rebuilds bikes to OCD standard. Last one I know of was an early Honda CB750, the guy who bought it turned up in a van, paid top wack and announced once home all fluids would be drained and it would never be used again.I get annoyed when I see hoards like this.

To me that is weird, but people spend ridiculous money on antiques and paintings so what do I know?

I disagree. We need people who look after things and keep them for future generations too.I get annoyed when I see hoards like this. They need one loving owner each, who will ride and cherish it.
And I don't think I know anyone who only has one bike...
