Every single one of these at one time was the owner's pride and joy.
Yes sir. They still have some good bits to help others with their pride and joy. Thanks for watching.
1972 Bultaco 250cc need a cylinder head hopefully with the compression release still built into the top of the head.. Vintage flat track racing bike definitely not a street bike..Gets harder and harder to find parts for this bike..🛵💨
@@motorcyclerewind. _But the majority of these bikes will probably be scrapped, sooner or later. These quantities of parts and motorcycles will never come into the hands of people who can appreciate them. like they're rotting out there. nice for every part that ends up in the right hands._
I am looking forward to going back.
It's hard to believe but once upon a time they all were on the show room floor all nice and shiny.
They can be that way again. Thanks for watching.
If my plan was ever to sell used motorcycle parts which to me are priceless i would store them by part and make in a shelter to make it easier for a parts shopper to select and purchase especially now a days where bike builders want to customize or replace parts. The owner has acres of parts but at the same time you have to be careful to not get cut and what about snakes. YES he did have some stuff in a shelter. Prior to you scavenging did he have you sign a document to advise you he wasn't responsible if you get injured?
No. I think he figured walking through his scrap yard would be safer than riding a motorcycle next to someone who was texting. 😂

I just feel like crying 😢 so many beautiful motorcycles, every brand gone to heaven
Think about if this guy had not have gotten them. They would have already been recycled.
When I was growing up, our family business was motorcycle sales, service, and most importantly, salvage. Our shop was all indoors so none of the stuff we had got to these states of decay. Seeing this makes me homesick for the old shop and the motorcycle industry as a whole. But this place makes me sick to see so many fantastic bikes just sitting out there, rusting, rotting, and gradually being consumed by nature. I saw a few things in there I'd like to grab! Maybe some day soon 🙂
Thank you for the tour!
I am going back this weekend to grab a few things. Can’t wait!!! I will be making regular trips to get what I want. Thanks for watching.
🎯
I like watching vids of place like this and yet also saddened every time. It always makes me think of how many bikes actually got there while still having good complete engines, and then once there, never to live again. Only to turn to complete junk.
This place has been in operation for almost 30 years. Surely it has allowed people to keep their bikes on the road. I am planning on dragging some of that junk home and making it live again. Thanks for watching.
@@motorcyclerewindI'm a bloody DIY guy. It takes me about 2 - 4 hours to dismount a bike more or less completely (motor in one piece). A professionell probably would need half this time, especially if he concentrates on most valuable parts. And of course less desired bikes could be just sold as scrapp metal. I earned about 1.000 - 3.000 $ from parts each bike, if it is a desired or collectible bike. Average. So seeing masses of bikes just rott away in the woods is absolutely beyond my understanding. But I'm not living in the USA. May be it's different there? Work costs too high and part prices too low?
Sadly most of that stuff is scrap
The stories that these old bikes could tell. Many that we couldn't believe are true, I imagine.
I agree. Can’t wait go back. Thanks for watching.
I just feel like crying so many beautiful motorcycles, every brand gone to heaven
Still some good bits in there.
I'm shocked Eric, what a terrible way to 'store' bikes! They are all just rotting away 😢 In the UK, our breakers would dismantle the bikes and have parts on shelves in a warehouse.
He has been in business for almost 30 years. It is a one man operation. He doesn’t have to indoor space. I am gonna save several of these.
@motorcyclerewind If I had a truck over there, the back would be full, and my wife wouldn't see me for a few months! 😉👍
I’m fairly certain there’s not a person in Alabama who cares how you would do it in the UK.
@lancejohnson9868 well, what a nice comment that is! 😮
Thats because they are too dumb to even know about the UK @@lancejohnson9868
Сколько мототехники. И каждая ещё может ездить. После достойных рук.
I agree. Thanks for watching.
What a fantastic place I’d camp there for a few days /weeks and get everything I need to build a great bike amazing really it heaven thank you so much for taking me with you god I love this place ❤
Let me know when you want to go and I’m there. This may be the new vacation spot. Thanks for watching.
Wow! There is no such beautiful, magical forest in my country. :-) Biker from the Czech Republic.
I am fortunate that this is so close to our house. Thanks for watching.
What a great post, a restorers heaven.... can't wait for the next visit...
This place was overwhelming. So looking forward to the next visit. Having the lay of the land should make it easier to see more stuff.
A gdzie to jest?
The whole place has been under water...just keep that in mind..
I had to share this with someone. I live in the Birmingham area, and I know someone who fixes up vintage bikes as a hobby. I'm sure he'll enjoy the video!
Thanks so much for sharing it.
Motor.....and yes, love to see you build a running bike from parts
I am planning on doing it. It’s gonna be a blast. Thanks for watching.
Good thing it's winter. That place looks like a snake paradise!
I will let you know this summer. 😂🐍
Anything Z1 900 kawasaki is worth its weight in gold!
Yes it is.
Holy crap!! Motorcycle overload!! So far I spied a set of 4 pipes possibly CB750 at 15:55 so that's a worthy one!
There are so many. I have a great idea for a future collaboration.
What an amazing place. The owner should open a small guest house. It would always be busy.
And yes, you certainly did win the wife lottery. I'm sure 99% of us totally understand that.
I hope you tell her everyday what a gem she is.😊
Engine or motor. Too international now to choose.
Great video thanks.
He has an Airstream trailer. I have already asked if I could spend a few days there putting one together to ride it out.
Keri is the best❤️. I did get her some pizza.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Can't believe it! Looks like a "Frisco" tank was in there..!!
Отличный источник железных потрохов для рукастых! 😊
Thanks for watching.
Thanks for watching.
Eric I would love to see you a) get a 350/4 out of all that and b) do a few days there trying to get one running - would be great viewing and I'm sure you would enjoy it
I am down with both of those suggestions. I am going back this weekend. Need to start dragging stuff home. Thanks for watching.
It's a shame they've all been sitting outside for so long. Imagine if all that had been sitting in a barn, instead.
It would have to be a big barn. There are loads of great projects. I know I will be dragging a few of these pound puppies home.
What a amazing place definitely worth dragging some them out thanks fir the walk around
Can’t wait to go back and start dragging some home. Thanks for watching
How does one man have so many motorcycles?
I've never seen anything like it . Great video, thanks for showing.
Waving a hand at ya, from Australia 👋 🇭🇲
He must have a very understanding partner. Thanks for watching.
@@motorcyclerewind Or none.
Man some of those old bikes brought back a lot of memories. Some good some not so good. You know come to think of it. They are all good memories I was young and fooling with bikes couldn’t get any better. Take care and stay safe.
Definitely some good stuff there. Thanks for watching.
Yes camp
Seems like the best idea. Thanks for watching.
At five bucks a head, he could give guided tours! Personally, I wouldn't know where to begin!
I am so looking forward to returning. This visit was a little overwhelming. Hoping next time I will be able to see more.
ENGINES! lol can’t help thinking how much of that could be melted down and reused seems a lot is beyond repair!!
LOL! I am sure in time lots will be hauled off to be melted down. I know I will be dragging home stuff to put back on the road. Maybe I am crazy!
A nice early plane jane gl1000 restoration would be brilliant. Hi from Ireland 🇮🇪
1975 GL1000 is on my bucket list. Thanks for watching.
Amazing to see the Kawasaki triples still in reasonable condition
Definitely worth saving. Thanks for watching.
Hi , amazing place, i think it is a great idea to have a 48hrs challenge to build a bike on site there. The goal should be to leave the place riding it.
That is my plan. Just have to ride it out the salvage yard. Thanks for watching.
Zambia once had money too!
Hopefully I don't give all mine to Kenny. Thanks for watching.
All I can say is W O W
Great find. Might not go there in the nice seasons.......snakes! LOL. Thanks for sharing. One draw back is now everyone will head down there and when I get to go this summer....all the good stuff gone! 🤣🤣🤣. I restore vintage as well. Just found your channel; glad I did. SUBBED.
For Kenny’s(the owner) sake I hope people flock down and buy it up. For you I hope it’s not till after the summer. Thanks for watching and thanks for the sub. Really appreciate it.
Been going there to buy stuff for over 40 years. The only thing crazier than the amount of stuff is the prices.
Awesome. Thanks for watching.
Crazy expensive or cheap? The salvage yard owners that I've encountered in 40 years of wrenching would rather throw a part 15 feet in the air and 30 feet across to a pile, where it breaks when landing, than sell it for less than half the price of a new part, which you happen to know.
Good prices? Im iso header pipe for am '85 honda xr250r reasonably priced
I drove 3 hours to purchase hand full of parts turn outs but his prices slap me around back to my truck
@@s7v7nfiv5 damn... really?
เมื่อเวลาผ่านไป และทุกสิ่งกลับคืนสู่ธาตุอีกครั้ง เรื่องราวและความทรงจำมากมายจากรถมอเตอร์ไซค์เก่าๆเหล่านี้ ขอบคุณครับ ที่พาทัวร์
Thanks for watching.
wow.. this place is on my bucket list
That’s awesome. I have already searched hotels near it for a longer stay. Only 4 miles away.
XS 650 another great collector, next to the 750 yam . The 750 yam has to be one of the smoothest 4 cylinders ever built, an absolute pleasure to ride.
There were loads of XS650’s. So much stuff. I was seeing more things that I hadn’t while editing the video. Can’t wait to get back there.
Smoothest 😂😂😂 said by people that know nothing
There was a bunch of 3-cylinder XS750's, not Yamaha's finest moment
@erik_dk842 ok, we got a different range of bikes in Australia, the 750s over here were 4 cylinders, don't think I ever saw a 3 cylinder.
@jesuschrist7169 At 63, I have ridden most of the bikes shown. However I have just been informed that the xs750 in America was a 3 cylinder, in Australia they were all 4 cylinder and did run very smooth.
I want to take a trip down there during the summer even though it's an 8-hour drive for me buy as much as I can fit on my trailer ! , I'm over in Mooresville North Carolina
That’s a weekend adventure worth having. It was a 3 hour ride for us. I am going back this weekend. We are taking our family trip to the Outer Banks this year.
i like the dirt bike and the four wheel bike
Send Kenny an email, he can tell you more about it. All his info is in the description.
good lord...I wish I lived in the states...I am from South Africa and that yard has everything I have been looking for , for a while now...oh the pain :)
Sounds like you next holiday is planning itself. Let me know when and I will be there!
Bet we could get half of them running
Don't threaten me with a good time!!!
You made me seasick, but I stuck it out. Cool!
Remember to take some Dramamine before you watch the next video. 😂 Thanks for watching!
That would be like a kid in a candy shop
Definitely have to bring a handful of cash the next time I go.
@ 17.34 Water cooled GPz900R frame , motor, wheels . Probably 85/86. Tank & plastics are available. Worth a second look if you go back.
Is saw that while editing the video. I also liked the Seca turbos.
The one with the red seat looked like a QA50 instead of a Z50.
You're right.
Thank You, I have one & love it.
I hope by saying you have one, you mean a vintage motorcycle salvage yard! If so we are going to be best friends. 😂🙏
All those CR’s😍
So much good stuff.
The 350 four is definate collector item, as is the early 750s. Also a suzuki 250 husler, he first two strokes with power band go. And a 500 kawa triple .
I think I saw 3 or 4 350fours. I think I am going back this weekend.
At 8.20..you were looking at a CB 350.to the immediate left of that was a green front mudguard that you put your hand on and the frame had a compliance plate..do you think that was a twin shock KLX 250 Kawasaki. i realize with the amount of bikes you looked at like a needle in a haystack.glad you found your pop-up Hondas only other bike i knew of were early Katanas. but what a great place to explore all day! Cheers Dallas
I am planning on going back this weekend. So I will take a closer look and report back.
I love fixing up these old bikes and giving them life again. Can't make money at it because it always costs more than I could make. But it is fun.
There is something about giving these old bikes another chance at life. It gets in your soul. Thanks for watching.
I'd love to see you put together a bike from there and then ride out onto your trailer, etc! Would be super cool. Thanks!
That’s the plan. It’s gonna be lots of fun. Thanks for watching.
When you get to 17.00 you uncover a motorcycle your wife does you say you don't know but it's a either 900 or 1100 GPZ
Thanks. I saw so much more when I was editing the video than I did while I was there. Thanks for watching.
I need a bigger garage before I visit. I’d come back with a couple of projects. You could certainly piecemeal several bikes out there.
My thoughts exactly. The hardest part is deciding on which model. 😂
I watched the entire video and was really hoping to see some old vintage dirt bikes like Husqvarna’s, Penton’s, Ossa’s, etc.
They are probably some there. I don’t know anything about them. Thanks for watching.
Holy moly. 😍 that's close to heaven. in 47:41 that goldish yellow CB200 tank. One of a beautiful tank in the Honda CB lineup.
Kenny will ship stuff that you need. His info is in the description. Get that tank. Thanks for watching.
Any Honda four deserve your time :) great find !
I will be spending sometime at this place. Thanks for watching.
@@motorcyclerewind great! i will watch :) pick one Honda four if you can :) its rare bike here in Croatia :) cheers "
You got it!
CL 175, I once had a CB 175. Supprising just how well they run. Have a different engine configuration to the other twins, where both pistons rise together, think they fire alternatively.
They are really cool bikes. This place had loads of them.Thanks for watching
Просто мечта) в лесу ❤
One I don’t want to wake up from. Thanks for watching.
Come out to California lots of Honda Goldwings you can you can pick up
Fly out and ride it home! Sounds like a plan to me.
Its sad to think most of these bikes will end up crushed and scraped 😭
All I know is that I am going to save as many as I can. Thanks for watching.
Man. nice I'll bet he's asking to much for bike's and part's !
I will let you guys know.
That place is so cool. I’d buy all the cl Honda pipes just because they are the coolest. I’m going to email you.
So cool!!😎😎😎 I would buy them too. Planning on going back frequently. Thanks for watching.
xs650
😉👌
I know. There were a lot of them there. Thanks for watching.
@@motorcyclerewind ✌
Wait! Go back and check out the Honda-Guzzi!
There were lots of CX/GL500's. I will be back. Thanks for watching!
I must have the same mental disorder as you do! Watching this video caused my heart to race! And Carrie is a saint btw!
I hope they never fins a cure for what we have! BTW Keri is the BEST!!! We met when we were 14, 42 years ago been married for 36 years. I am a lucky guy!
My wife and I met when I was 16 and she was 15. Married since 1986. Too lazy to do the math but I think it’s about 38 years this year. When I bought my first bike in 2014, a GS850 that sat for 25 years that I fully restored she wasn’t happy. Now she rides with me. Sometimes you just gotta jump in and ask for forgiveness after.
Thats right. easier to beg forgiveness!
Ok what's it going to cost me to just walk around.. I'm in England. Best Musium I'd just want to walk around..
Free to look. They make you pay for the souvenirs. Start planning the holiday!
Imagine getting the urge to find a fixup vintage motorcycle but not knowing where to start. Then imagine finding this video. What make this so cool is my last name is Brewton and I live in Escambia county Florida...... 1.4 hour drive. 😲😲 Time to make some plans. Thank you for sharing this video. Thank you Thank you Thank you
You have to go. Give Kenny a call he is a great guy. Thanks for watching.
Oh my Gosh, I could probably spend days their. The idea of putting a bike together rite there and riding it out is a great idea. I see a bunch of stuff that peaked my interest. A truck and a pocket full of cash and a trip their would definitely get me in trouble with the wife. Great Video.
That’s why you have to take the wife with you. 😂 can’t wait go back. Thanks for watching.
According to NADC instructors. They could never explain why they're called motor mounts instead of engine mounts.
😂I thought it might be a can of worms but thought would ask anyway. Thanks for watching.
you need to check out Mauro's junk yard near Floral City Florida .
bikes stacked like library books .
acres of them .
Thanks for the tip. I am planning a roadtrip on the GPZ in a few weeks. Have to add that stop.
@@motorcyclerewind you have a GPZ ?!?
what year/size ? i had a 1985 GPZ550 . nasty little bike ! my buddy had a GPZ1100 . that thing scared me !
btw . . . Mauro's has a big missile out by the main road , Hwy41 . can't miss it .
@@motorcyclerewind i picked up the name " pappy " at a poker game . all my sons friends call me pappy because i raised my 3 kids alone . always had a house full of strays though .
Wait you lost your real name in a poker game.😂 Those are some high stakes.
@@motorcyclerewind 🤣 no just gained an extra !
Эх, столько техники превратилось в мусор! Я думал только люди из СССР грустят видя подобное отношение к мотоциклам, однако, судя по комментариям, все мы испытываем одинаковое чувство сожаления.
Вот результат культуры потребления.
Карбюраторы в холодильнике это 🔥🔥🔥
Oh wow, what an interesting place 👍Like
So much fun.
3 or 4 day challenge with a CB or RD 350 would be awesome. See if you can ride it home.
Ride it home!! I would be happy to make it out the gate. It would be fun to get a group and we each do a bike. Let’s do it.
@@motorcyclerewind Scrapyard Challenge! Bring your tools, engine consumables like rings and seals, wiring stuff and carb kits. Find the rest in the yard. Put it together and see how far you can get.
Sounds like fun are you in?
Consider a good Yamaha Venture Royale. I picked up a 1986 1300 and after owning 2 GL1200’s I really love the Yamaha V4 engine. It is faster and handles better then the Goldwing in my opinion.
I am open to any old "GrandPa" motorcycle as long as it has an 8 track!
How about a cassette deck and a CB :)
I would love a CB. My truck has a factory CB. Ford offered it as an option in1978
❤❤❤
This place is so much fun. Kinda feel like Indiana Jones. Thanks for watching.
Please god, I must win Lotto! Beacause I just found Heaven on Earth!
Remember me when you win!!!!
id take that Yamaha Riva Zuma prebug scooter that was laying flat on its side that you didn't prefer the twin headlight design on, it was red and white
The one by my Honda Elite!!! 😂I did like the twin headlights. I will meet you there. Just say when.
@@motorcyclerewind love it, I’m in lawrenceville GA. What do you think he’d sell that for?
@@motorcyclerewind love watching your vids I got into vintage motorcycles just like you did through vintage mopeds. I kept flipping them up to get to the nicer vintage bikes over the years and now I have a collection of 10 and most are runners 🙂
Thats awesome. Not sure about prices but give him a call. Really nice guy.
Unfortunately most of these bikes weren’t that popular in the day. I would cost a ton of money to rebuild a bike that would only be moderately interesting to ride. I would be looking for European bikes
I will be dragging some of these guys home.
Excellent place sir, i wish i can spent a whole month there. ( i am from Pakistan)
This place is amazing. Can’t wait to go back.
In years to come they'll be priceless
Did you see the look on my grandsons face. It already is priceless. Thanks for watching
Kinda' sad. Most of what is there was better off wherever they started. Storage climate and conditions are everything. Geeezzzz..... If this were in Arizona, maybe they would have a chance
I was so happy to see these bikes and thankful that he saved them. If they were here there would be no chance for them. They would have been recycled. Thanks for watching.
Motors are electric, engines are mechanical. Truth.
Awesome thanks for sharing.
Could do some crazy builds with all that.
Like putting mag tubeless wheels on vintage stuff.
You should probably buy a lot nearby.
I asked him if I could move in.🤣 He is still thinking it over. Thanks for watching.
Yes yes yes. Build it and ride it out
Just reading it sounds like fun. Let’s go. Need the weather to warm up a bit.
Might be a bag of weed in a tool kit😮
If you’re lucky. Thanks for watching. Can’t wait to go back.
@@motorcyclerewind could be a gold wing at service tire toccoa ga
Are you saying you found me a Goldwing?
@@motorcyclerewind there is 2there not mine one has a wiring problem and one is owner of the store the guy really likes his z1s so he might sell one of goldwings not sure
Send me an email motorcyclerewind@gmail.com with your contact info. Thanks.
No Triumph's?
None.
Doesn't look like the owner really cares much about what happens to the stuff!
Until the moment you want to buy a part, then it turns into gold. - Every salvage yard owner I've ever dealt with.
If😢this was in south Africa we would cry
Tears of joy?
This is an unbelievable mess in the environment.
Thanks for watching.
Dang!
I know right!!! Thanks for watching!
What a paradise
So many great things. Can’t wait to go back. Thanks for watching.
If you're looking for an '84ish touring bike in a Goldwing, that would be a GL1200. I'd recommend an '86 or '87. Still a 1200, but upgraded parts and addressed some issues from the '84 and '85 Goldwing. IMHO, the 1200 was the best! Fun video to watch. Thanks!
Thanks for the information. I can use all the help I can get.
At 1 time they were all some ones pridem and joy
Yes they were. May be bits and pieces of them can be used for others pride and joy. Thanks for watching
thanks for the tour. my favorite bike junkyard is Bob's used 1325E. Ellwood phoenix az 85040. truely massive, no overgrown vegitation
I want to make it out to Bobs. Thanks for watching.
To NIMROD his tusks,to LOTHARIO his photographs,to this gentleman the junk bikes!.Man what a gag!
My decoder ring stopped working. Not sure what you are saying here. Thanks for watching.
That's a really nice gesture , giving your dad the Ferrari mat , nice one bro 👍
It sure what this is in reference too but thanks for watching.
Cool
So much good stuff
That's a cool place 😎. Great idea to build something on site. why not a big tourer like a gold wing? a bit ambitious, I know. But I bet you could 🫵👍
Definitely a cool place. Want to build one onsite. Picking the bike is going to be the hardest part. Thanks for watching.
i had a gpz 1100 zx back in the 80s , i ditched the head and dfi for j head and cv carbs , the damn thing tried to kill me on more than one occasion , loved it ,,,,,,
Was it the bike trying to kill you or your right hand!!!😂😂😂 My 83 GPz1100 has not tried to kill me yet. Thanks for watching.
