The Ultimate Garage/Collection/Shop
I just visited a guys garage that was unbelievable. The garage at his house had 9 Sportsters in it. Then he took me out back to his shop and there is no less than 40 bikes in it. First you see a Bourget chopper and 3 VRods, then you notice a VRod Destroyer sitting there. Then you see at least 5 more VRods. Of those 2 are SE's. Then looking into this shop you seen countless Sportsters and Buells. Two of the Sportsters have full Storz kits. There is a old looking bike from the 20's-30's with really tall tires with a Buell motor, that bike looked scary.
There was an FXDX with PM brakes and an inverted front end. There was an tangerine FXR4 and a maroon FXR. A couple of Shovelheads, a late model Triumph and half a dozen dirt bikes.
I spent a couple of hours just looking at them, then he let me ride an SE VRod and a NightRod Special with a Tab exhaust.
He was a very cool guy with a badass collection and had an even cooler wife for letting him do what he wants. He says he has more bikes at his other shop. I cant wait to go see the rest of them.

Geez, sounds like he has a nice collection. Did he let you take pics? Surely you had your camera with you.

Hey Russ, He was a big guy with a beard. How did you know??? lol
He is the guy that is buying my sporty or trading me something for it.
I offered to go to work for him full time cleaning them and making sure they all get ridden. I hope he takes me up on it.
I will take some pictures later this week when I go back over there and drool some more.
He just moved in so there is stuff everywhere. BUT VERY COOL STUFF.
