Here some videos about cars, cycles, etc. found in an old barn of a guy in Illinois who had saved all kinds of stuff. He had something like 50 old motorcycles. Some from the 30's actually started. They are having a big auction in November. I suspect this might be something Alley Oops will want to attend. www.coolestone.com/media/3728/America039%3bs-Ultimate-Barn-Find/

Looks like that is going to be a million dollar+ auction. Makes me want to cry thinking about a couple of my first rides that I did not keep. I am going to stay way far away on auction day so I can keep what money I have.

JUST AMAZING and UNBELIEVABLE!! WOW!! I think me and my brother-in law will attend. How in the world did the guy ever get so many things it is just so amazing.
I know a guy about 70 mile from us he has a HUGE COLLECTION of Whizzared motor bikes and Old scoots. Some were brand new some one of a kind Like a Girls Whizzared bike. We went there to see an OLD all ELECTRIC SCOOTER that my brother-in law was interested in. And we spent half day looking in his huge barn at all the bikes he had. We pulled out the electric scoot and we took turns driving it up to the highway and back. It was rather small like a honda Ruckus we looked like a bunch of a-holes on it with our arse's sticking out(HAHA). He only wanted $400.00 bucks for it but it was just to small, my brother-in law is 6'2 230lbs(haha). Alleyoop

That was superb viewing, even though I wouldn`t be able to afford any of the stuff, I`d love to be able to wander around those sheds.

It's amazing that those bikes still crank over after sitting idle for more than half a century.
