Holy crap!! This is in my neighborhood and I have not heard anything about the guy or the collection. But then again, a lot happens that I never hear about.
I am going to have to contact this guy so I can see it first hand.
I lived in the Bellevue area for 42 years and Glenwood, Iowa is within 30 miles of where I live now.
Gotta get in touch.

Guest repliedOriginally posted by charnotx View PostForgot got to include the sarcasm backslash at the end... Yea, I wouldn't let someone ride them, and am dang impressed at his collection. I'd love to one day have acquired that many, if not more. One bike at a time, and if you treat them right they will last forever. Honestly I think it would be cool to try obtaining every version of a specific bike, but that would take many moons...
The only real bitch is the gravel road to get to it all......
And this is one of the best groups of forum members on the internet.
Doubt many here need to wear leather to protect any thin skin.

Guest repliedOriginally posted by charnotx View Postyea, hopefully they have been stored properly... Would be bad if they are roting inside themselves.. And agreed, bikes need to be riden! Maybe he should just host visiting motorcycle clubs and let them take them out
He does let people he knows enjoy them, but seriously, that has to be a joke -
Although, he would probably be open to it, with limitations, he is a heck of a nice guy, no kidding.

Guest repliedOriginally posted by Crankthat View PostAnyone notice he bought the tri-wing?
That is a large collection.
Hope they are stored correctly.
Way to many for me.
But for some, never enough.
Split on this, I think he has to many as bikes need riders.
Better then seeing them hacked into trash though.Originally posted by charnotx View Postyea, hopefully they have been stored properly... Would be bad if they are roting inside themselves..

I'm sure none of you want anyone telling you what you can and can not do with your own property.
The same applies to Rich.
If you could not tell from the pictures, he takes better care of them than easily 90% of the owners out there.
Many of those are for his personal collection and will never (never say never) be resold, most are resold to people like you and me looking for those particular bikes.
Before anyone gets on a "Let's bash the kid with all the toys" bandwagon, think before you type.
Act as though your comment was directed back at yourself, if that's what you want to be told -
You probably have 99 other problems, and I don't want Rich to be one!Last edited by Guest; 05-10-2016, 05:15 PM.

That collection requires riding a different one every day.

2 motorcycles, that will be fine.
Both running or not, that is the next question -
Always nice to have parts bikes around.....
Thanks to all for the comments
Oh, I added his contact info to the original post if any of you have bikes to sell or are looking for something, consider him a resource.
Or, if you just want to see his collection.Last edited by Guest; 05-10-2016, 02:56 PM.
