    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.
        Current stable:

        87 Kawasaki ZL1000 Eliminator
        99 Kawasaki ZRX1100 Eddie Lawson replica

          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.

            ^^^ Yes, looks like some old hoarder has died. Oh well, it's less pathetic than animal hoarders.

                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.
