It truly breaks my heart to see all those motorcycles rotting away just sell them by an agreed weight or in lots, get them back on the road again.
I'm helping him sell them. Since this video was posted, he has sold several already
@@flatbrokegarage seven hundred would barely make a dent, its nothing short of criminal.
Had a drunk ever time isaw a CR BEd noW.
That is soul destroying seeing such hoarding mentality. It just heart breaking how many memories could have been made had they been salvaged properly ☹️💔
I’ve seen plenty of bikes I’m interested in, I just live on the wrong continent! Thanks for sharing this. A bit sad though. 👍
Not only amazing but to a true lover of bikes for 50 years now, it’s sad all those bikes are there, with the smallest amount of maintenance they’ll run forever basically. With a magical parts room I’d rebuild every one that was salvageable. Thanks for sharing
He has sold some bikes. It's nice to see them get saved. I've actually bought 2 vehicles from him and gotten one back on the road. Thanks for watching!
Can you maybe disclose this fellas contacts? I’m needing some project parts and I’m not really flush these days…. But it’s something
@@ST-IV_858 you can contact jeff@thecommongear.com he can help you out with more info
@@ST-IV_858 one piece at a time brother, you can put them together, I did it that way for years.
I think you confuse love something with been a hoarder. Yes ,some hoarders stash trash ,other motorcycles...but both are equally mentally ill.
This hurts my Heart. Truly Hurts My Heart ❤😢😢
It is sad, but they are for sale. Hopefully, someone will save some of them.
Unbelievable, I could spend my 4th of July holiday there no problem.
And that's maybe a 10th of the yard
I'd have to spend a couple a year's there to rescue some a the better bikes ...' on a short stint though noticed a few cb's & xlr's & a kawa Ltd.. worthy of hauling outa therw & restoring...
Wow, that's a lot of motorcycles. I saw a few bikes I'd love to get my hands on. My first bike was a Honda SL 175. It would be cool to restore one for nostalgic reasons. But, my all time favorite bike is the 305 Dream. It kills me to see them rotting away in this woods. I'm glad he's letting them go so they can be brought back to life. Fun video.
He has sold some now. This video has helped him for sure. If your interested you can contact jeff@thecommongear.com thanks for watching!
I saw that 305 Dream at the beginning and all my internal flashers came on. The XS 750, the GT 380, even the Suzuki Jeep would do me just fine.
@@russbilzing5348 they are for sale. I know a collector came down and bought a fee, so they must be worth saving. Thanks for watching!
That would be a cool bike to restore mate go for it from the UK
That was my first real bike too. ‘71 or ‘73(I forgot) in gold metallic. I road it to HS almost every day. Hated those dual carbs and it was geared so low I could not use it on the freeway. Still I loved it. Think I sold it in the 90’s for $200 bucks at a garage sale😂
Thank you for showing the motorcycle cemetery that will soon come to life, and for the music, which is excellent.''
I wish there were places like that in Alaska. I'd be buying so many parts to restore some old school bikes I grew up on.
I guess that's the downside to Alaska. Other than that, it is beautiful up there
@@flatbrokegarage its been getting more of a riding season than it used to be. In 23 yrs it's gone from a 3month riding season to about 5months. Climate change lol. But we have some long straight aways here. Where you can open up your bike for 8 to 10 minutes mine flat out will run 223 mph that's some serious moving. I've been faster but I sold that bike so I wouldn't kill myself.
I could cry!
Some day I'm gonna fix them up! Grandkids call the dumpster people for clean . We'll see how much we get for our inheritance.
OMG!!! I literally had to stop this video every 3 or 4 seconds to see every everything. At least half a dozen Honda CT 70's, more two stroke road bikes than I have ever seen and my first bike ever , a Kawasaki KV 75 made this video about four times. Wow, just wow...
They are for sale
Theres something beautiful about that place. The stories and memories thoughs bikes made. They were someones pride and joy
And they are becoming that again. Many have been sold are are getting backnon the road
Holy cow motorcycle heaven, this is so cool to see, but also sad as lots there no good for sure, but sweet video cheers 🍻🥂 KC 🇦🇺🤝🇺🇸😎😊👍
This man is a friend of mine he's 90 years old those bikes have been collected for seven years he's made a very good living selling parts off of them. He recently retired but may find him there sometimes in the morning and he will give anyone a very good education but motorcycles, Racing ECT
There must be 2 guys with this many bikes 😆 who would have guessed. This guy is a buddy his name is Steve. He's about 70 years old. Lives in Polk County
Where is this magical place?

@@garyknajdekjr4035 southeast Tennessee. You can make an appointment to come out and look. Simply contact jeff@thecommongear.com he can help you out
Oh man.. Heart breaking, but so cool at the same time.
Fun to walk through
Wow. I’ve always had a love of scrap yards all I ever saw was potential. Love bringing bikes back to life. The joy of resurrection has a feeling that just can’t be beat. Some say just buy one already done. Funny I work on there bikes. Those who share the passion understand
A bunch of bikes have been saved from there. I like to see them back on the road. I've bought 2 cars from him and have them on the road as well. I totally understand what your saying. Thanks for watching!
Came here for the bikes and saw the Suzuki LJ20. I am currently restoring one. Boy, I wish I could get my hands on it for parts. Those are super scarce!
I'm pretty sure he will sell it. You can contact jeff@thecommongear.com he can help you out
I definitely love to get my hands on some of those Honda '90s and a CT 70s bring them back to life That's a place where if I had to pass away that would be the place to stay 🤣
They are for sale. You can contact Jeff at thecommongear@gmail.com
@@flatbrokegarage thank you
I’m 65. I see a lot of nostalgia here. Not much here will ever run again. I think this guy would make more money just l turning this into an open air park with a small coffee stand. Plenty of motorcycle minded people would be happy to drop a tenner to spend some time wandering through here. And hey, might just sell something.
Since the video has came out, the owner has been selling bikes and meeting guys from all over the country. It's n8ce that bikes are being saved and he gets to meet guys that li e bikes as much as he dose. Thanks for watching!
Takes hoarding to a whole new level.
That would be fun looking around that lot
It's for sale, if your within driving distance it's worth a visit for sure
Un vrai trésor pour les collectionneurs, dommage que ça ne soit stocké à l'abri.❤✌🏻
Those are just the parts bikes. He has more inside
Great! More places like this
All of these were once young men's dreams.
Definitely
Not sure that "all" of those little 125-175 singles were anyone's dream. Most of those bikes are very basic third world transportation.
we're is this place I'm about in tears I would love to save a few of them nc still plays with their toys awesome videos 📹 😎
They are for sale. It's in south eastern Tennessee. The contact info is at the end of the video, or you can email me at flatbrokegaragetn@gmail.com
Amazing ! To much to see in one visit .
I've been going there over a year now and still find new stuff
How in the hell does that guy expect any of that to get recovered?! Even if he was in the business of selling it would impossible.
It is a struggle. However, he has been selling bikes. They even had to take down part of a wall to get 3 of them out. Thanks for watching!
Yeah, once the weeds start growing in the engines you are going to need a lot of restoration. You can leave a machine sitting in a low moisture area for a long time, but not in the foliage.
This would be WELL worth the work!
Looked like you would have to move hundreds of bikes to make a drag path for those Camaros!
@Steve Atkinson we have actually pulled the camaros out. Was a bit of work, but they are out and up for sale.
I hope the owner lives and restores and sells most of all that back to the public bike rides .more power to the owner
Yes, since this video, many have been sold and put back on the road.
Crazy old man waiting for them all to rust away into the dirt
He has been selling a bunch of them. So it's nice to see some being saved. Thanks for watching!
That's crazy. It's a treasure trove for us motorbike addicts. It'd be nice to go there with a trailer and a couple thousand bucks cash.
He is selling all of it.
Who’s is he and where is this?
@@ST-IV_858 southeast Tennessee
What a cool place. ❤✌️
It makes me cry. What a waste. Shame to this, who did this.
Please someone save these bikes. Not all but the good ones.
Everything is for sale. A bunch of bikes have left with more going out every month.
I am not a motorcyclist but i always wanted a honda 305 superhawk back in the day……i’ll bet one could be made out of all that stuff!
I bet your right. Was out there today with some guys. They couldn't believe how much stuff there was
I just bought a 31 yr old Honda four hundred superfour ,every single bit off paperwork come in a bag .I got every mot it has done all old taz discs ,i had it out at weekend for frst time and she rides beautifully,suspension needs sorted for my weight ,but that’s it .well pleased
That's awesome, there's something satisfying about doing it yourself.
So this is the Parts God I’ve always heard about?… or at least one of them? 👍👀👍
He has a bunch, and I've haven't been inside the building yet
Whole new meaning to junkyard!
Great video mate😊
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Those Suzuki 4x4's were made specifically to fit in the box of a pickup. I remember my local Suzuki snowmobile won one for selling so many sleds one winter. He had it in front of the place in the back of his pickup for advertising, for years.
It's a shame this one is so far gone. I watched a TH-cam series on some guys restoring one. Think it was @fabrat channel. I guess not many made it to the U.S
#fabrat
Paraíso das motocicletas.
Parabéns
si, gracias por mirar
That's my Graceland, I seen so many of my old bikes. I would love to get my mitts in that pile
They are for sale. He has already slod a bunch since this video came out
Someone should take all these to a storage warehouse in the dry South West, make a Bike ghost town.
Be a cool idea. Everything is for sale and he has been selling bikes. Some are even back on the road
That'll be a goldmine for those restoration shops. Those tanks alone means money.
That's for sure. And really, that was just the tip of the iceberg. There is more inside the buildings.
So many bikes that could be rebuilt and used or at least parts for vintage rebuilds
They have been selling, so some are moving on
Suzuki brut
What a shame it will probably get crushed love to have that 68 or69 cl 350 and a couple of the ct70 among others I saw this place is a gold mine for builders seen a lot of tanks and other parts that would make good money on ebay lot of classics there.
Take a drink every time you here the word WOW!!
Yeah.... it was a bit much 😆 🤣
All parts but great parts. Rare bikes at times
Yeah... not must for complete bikes. But, if your looking for that special Parr. That's your place. They are for sale and thanks for watching!
Great content on bike wish there was more
I can try to get some more this winter. Lots of thorns, hornets, and snakes when I filmed that one 😆 thanks for watching!
@@flatbrokegarage Totally awesome my friend!! How can we get in touch with this gentleman? Where is this located?
@@johnkoury1116 they are in southeast Tennessee, the email link is at the end of one of the junkyard videos or you can email me at flatbrokegaragetn@gmail.com
@@flatbrokegarage I saw that , thank you. My best friend buys bikes and restores them . He has found and sent fifteen or twenty restored bikes back to Japan where they went to executives of Kawasaki, Yamaha, and Honda. Some of them were not even restored. They just wanted the bikes.nI really wanted a couple atc 110's to take apart and build a fat tire bike from but then I saw that one already made at 11:42 or 8 or something right before that cool 2 cylinder race car with the woolly boogers on the back..You have some awesome videos my friend. I am starting a TH-cam channel because I am starting a small engine repair and machine shop business leaving life in Big Pharma as a chemical engineer due to the way they think...My first video is where I was at this awesome scrapyard in Ringold's Pa and found a Yamaha three wheeler that looked like someone dropped it out of a helicopter . I bought it and I am going to restore it on video.I will email you in a few. I have to go move my car in this 25 degree weather we are having....
Haha. A skid steer with a ripple and a couple of 40 yard boxes would be a good start. There was a place like this down somewhere outside of NYC that had much more than this. They were in collapsing warehouses as I remember. Think they burned or something. Kind of an addiction, no?
It does need to be separated, there are some good bikes I guess. A collector has bought several, but ya gotta dig 😆
Needs to go to Mid-Ohio vintage days oh my God overwhelming just looking at the video
Someone needs this stuff for sure.
Amazing collection , every bike has a story, you could write easy 10 books if you knew their stories the peeps that bought and rode and got rid of there 2 wheel freedom machines.
It's been interesting just meeting some of the people that have come to buy them. The dedication they have to saving them and the story's why they are.
I hope you bought those 3000 bikes and are going to restore them all :-)
I've bought a few cars. He has sold a few bikes for sure. This video was kind of help for him to find homes for some. It seemed to have worked
Tak to je luxus 👍👌💎💎💎
Probably said wow! 3000 times wow!
Great snapshot of the late 60s 70s and early 80s. Shame they are banning petrol.
personally, I'd have 60% of them running & sold within the first year, after that I'd sell & donate the rest as parts to a local bone yard.
3000 bikes doesn’t even scratch the surface
Wow ! I think every make and ModelMotorcycle out there had some type of an affect on my life many of them i owned or had ridden either that model r one very close to that year or Model ! i was a Lucky guy to have many aquantances that rode and would swap out with each other plus We had a localRental Repair Shop that kept a wide variety of Motorcyclex inStock as I grew up in a very high Tourist Area
Variety is nice. What is the one bike you wish you had back?
That blue Honda CB360 was cool.
I will take a few Kawasaki H2s and some Honda CX500s for starters.
They all are for sale.

The maid "missed it by that much" 😆
I can tell you the location Chief , but we have to use the ' Cone of Silence '.
I saw a blue Honda cb360 1975 in the bush, I have been looking for one of those bikes for a while now. I could rebuild and bring that one back to life. Shame to see that being so neglected. Wish I knew where this place is.
Everything is for sale. He has sold a bunch after this video went up. You can email me. I can get you setup with contact info. The yard is in southeast Tennessee. My email is flatbrokegaragetn@gmail.com
What state is this yard at? I would love to walk around it and pick out a project. I saw a few Honda cl and Honda cx500.
It's on the Tennessee/ Georgia state line. You can contact jeff@thecommongear.com for info to see the yard
Treasure.
I dont get emotional on these the bikes where bought just like this before going to junk yard to recycle it but this guy has bought and stored and so so so many good parts available 😂😂😊😂😊
He has now sold a bunch of bikes and parts. Some are getting back on the road
I'm a m/c license plate collector, didn't see too many still fitted to bikes, I guess a lot of collectors have been thru here over the years.
I never thought of that. Interesting, perhaps you're right. I'll have to take a closer look next time I'm there
I could spend some money there! Even saw a few I still have!
It is quite a yard for sure.
I really want that CB550 with the blue engine!
It's for sale. You can contact jeff@thecommongear.com he can help ya out
I was just kidding. Never seen a bike with a blue engine.
My first bike I got my license on was similar to the ones with the milk crate attached to the back sissy bars in this video in the mid 2000s and up until '13 I sold my last of two '82 yamahas I had for almost a decade now i have a "project " bike missing a gas tank for a '81 hondamatic cm400a blue and the gold strip around the tank I couldn't tell if there was any there or not
I can ask if he has one. He literally has 100s of tanks hidden in vans.
I love bikes
These guys really know how to preserve and care for classic bikes, not.
Yeah... Sadly, it happens.
So sad. I saw all of my favorite Hondas in the first minute, all rotten away.
Petrol Head's Gold Mine !
There is lots to see, that's for sure. I like that bikes are being sold and saved.
Excited and sad at the same time
No way he could still have titles for all them street bikes and oh my goodness them Camaros yea I understand the SS is worth more money but the none SS ones is still awesome in my eyes
You would be shocked how many titles he has, I was amazed and they are organized.
Ohhhhh Wowwwwww 😲😲😲😲😲 Das wäre ein Reich für mich 🤓 Da hätte ich richtig was zu tun 👍👍👍👍👍 Lg aus Germany
Luckily, he has been selling bikes, and some are even back on the road now.
There's a smaller place located near me, about half the size. I've always gone there to look around and dream about what could be found if someone took the time to sort through everything. However, it's unfortunate that, at least in the one near me, they're quite reluctant to part with any of it, and the prices are exceedingly high. As far as I understand, it used to be (and to some extent still is) a cycle shop. The owners are semi-retired and generate income through repair work, but over time, the bike parts have turned into more of a collection.
He has been selling a lot more than he used to. Nice to see things getting saved
My precious
That how I feel about the cars 😆
The episode you did on the 3000 bikes. Where is that located and how do you get there are a hold of someone to look and buy something. Any help would be appreciated. Great show
Southeast Tennessee my contact info is in the description. Send me an email for more information. Thanks for watching!
Bet there are some super cool two stroke street bikes buried in there
I'm guessing there are for sure
Where's this located at? Need parts for a 86' Honda XR 250

Good place for hobby man
It's almost overwhelming when you go there.
I need exhaust for a 74 XL125
I am so sad... humans..... in a hundred years our great grandson's and granddaughter's will be cursing us for the trashed we left behind! Imagine that 😮
This should be gone in a year or so. A lot has left already. Thanks for watching!
I just bought a 1979 honda cx500 custom, have any of those? Lol
I'm sure he dose. Most of them are 70s/80s Hondas
here in brazil a suzuki gt 550 in good condition is worth 10,000 dollars and you went through at least 3 of these motorcycles dumped in the open,
They are for sale. Wonder how hard it would be to ship them.

When us Brits think that 2/3s of the British motorcycle industry output at its peak was exported to North America , we should be heading here to help repatriate some of it!
Come on over. He is selling everything. It's nice to see things getting saved
I be interested in filling a container load up but shipping it back to New Zealand what part of the states are in , interest
Southeast Tennessee. I'm sure he'd would make a deal
