    Alibaba's cave or Yves Pelletier's Barn

    Today I went to see Yves Pelletier. It was my second time. This time I brought my camera.

    The man has a barn loaded with dismantled bikes. And some not so dismantled yet.

    Amazing place just to walk around in.

    Sorry I took the pic without flash. If I had my camera would have died after two pictures.

    EDIT: Just never mentioned where he is. He is in Drummondville, QC.

    Rotors


    Shelves upon shelves.


    Clocks


    Passengers grabbar. One of the reason I was there.


    Clutches


    Shocks


    Starters


    Hydraulic (Brake) hoses.


    Thing-a-mabobs.


    Carbs

    Is it cataloged, or just lumped in object-specific spaces?

      Junk carbs...I guess. EDIT: Just noticed the engine block bellow that muffler. GS850 82.


      Brake bodies


      Triple trees


      His card


      He does Bikes. Only bikes. No VTT, no scooters.

      I thought his price was good. He does not do Internet.

        Everything is sorted as what it is. No catalog. Every part is marked with yellow or red paint markers. He is pretty knowledgeable too.

        He as some new "Junk" as well. Unsold items bought in bulk...I guess.

              Pity, he would make a killing on eBay.

                    How long has this guy been doing this? He can't possibly know everything he has there.

                      How long? I don't know. I am sure he told me. But don't remember.

                      No, there is no way he remembers all the parts he has. Or recognize everything either. I wanted some exhaust do-icky. You know those curved steel spacers that old the manifold in the engine. For my KZ440 well he gave me the wrong ones. He changed them when I came back. No arguments. But still. Make sure you know what you want and what it should look like.

                        Yep I agree! He'd have most of that gone real quick!

                        I'd plan a trip too but from Australia, I'd need to buy a shipping container load of parts to justify it lol
