    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Something to make you cry...

Interesting collection. Hopefully they some find homes. There is another 1000s listed, but not pictured.
I'd LOVE to hear that red GT 750 with the aftermarket exhaust make some music....
 
No way any of the good stuff goes cheap, they know what they have there. I think I saw (4) Z1R's down there at the bottom, several 1100F's, Z1's, CBX, Kaw triples, some really nice collector bikes there.

If they knew what they had there they should have found somewhere indoors to store them. Even the "good" stuff looks pretty far gone to restore without spending thousands of dollars. IMO....such a shame.

This event is advertised as a "No Reserve Auction", meaning that bidders ?not stakeholders? will set prices. Would have been a great boneyard to rifle through back in the day.

You must not have looked at the photos. It's a bunch of old bikes, mostly taken apart, that have been left outside for decades. Rust prevails
 
HOLY CRAP that's a lot of decrepit bikes... What a shame. Makes me want to rescue them all and find them good homes... I see some cool old dirt bikes my friends and I had in the old days, lol...
 
Lets see, Moist, leafy, outside and uncovered. As stated, most things that are rebuidable be almost non-rebuidable. IE: Tanks and seats for a start. Forks could get re hard chromed but how much you wanna spend.
 
The auctioneer knows what he has there. J. Wood is the founder of Penquin road racing school at NHMS. He also does these bike auctions. About 10 years ago my dad and I sent 2 bikes through one of his auctions in Deland ,Fla. They have one every year during bike week
 
we just did some bleachers at a church recreation center in michigan. the house next door had 3 rows of bikes in the back yard but it was facing where we were working. went over checked them out, tanks were rusting through from the top, very sad. nothing covered

I wonder if Jeff or Eric get the good barn finds. I try and remember to ask Eric this summer.
 
Very sad, but what we're looking at is a collection of money pits.
 
Hoarding- and even owners of junk yards "Salvage yards" can be hoarders and it is a mental disorder. These people thru time have turned down great offers for their stuff because of a value they have set that is not based in reality. Owner passess away and leaves their kids OVERWELMED and burdened with a collection of stuff. Us guys into muscle cars joke all the time about that car rotting in the field- "Aint fer sale, gonna fix er up someday!"
