My buddy invited me up to see his motorcycle collection so I grabbed a couple of friends and headed there. I admit that I'm not familiar at all with most bikes from about 1976 to today, I like the 60s and early 70s much better so I don't think I appreciated them as much as I should. There was a lot of classics to drool over. We spent about 4 hours looking at his stuff(I was so caught up in looking at the bikes that I never even looked at any of the cars. When you first go in the back there is bikes being worked on, waiting to be worked on, and ready to go up front but there's no room. There is over 100 bikes in the back and around 250 up front on display. I basically stumbled around in shock most of the time, it was awesome. Here is some pics for you.


These are new in the crate Hondas


Here is what we saw when we first walked in, The little Kawasaki is a B8


This is the numbers off a 72 H2 that is going to the sale in Las Vegas

Awesome collection. There is some serious money invested there.

Wow what a collection. So where is this collection and is it open to the public?

I wouldn't say it's open to the public but he loves to talk motorcycles with guys like us that have a passion for it. If you would want to see it pm me and I'll give him a call to make sure he would be around. The bikes are in North Dakota.

nice pictures and great bikes.
BTW for the grey H1 as you wrote, the engine isn't the original one 70 frame with 71 engine.
Millard welding is, how to say,
May I have just the Bridgestone 350 and the Benly 125cc, please

Wow - I'm floored, awesome bikes (and a few Schwinn's too). Many thanks for sharing.

Yes Sir, I noted that above the pictures. I had always wondered how the engine looked underneath, it was fun to be able to crawl around and see.
