I watched the video, and more importantly, listened to the absolutely inspiring story being told along the way. The bikes are magnificent, the buildings are beautiful, and the story is an adventure in following your heart and passion. This is a true American Dream Narrative, by Salt of the Earth people and families. The world would be so much better if only people could realize the Beauty and Grace that the Man upstairs laid at our feet.

Hey folks, this is Carl, your NEMM Roaming Diplomat. This is without a doubt, the best tour of 200 West Main St you can possibly have! I can't add much! That being said, I am modifying an Ace Ventura quote.. "If I'm not back in 2 months, wait longer".
Thank you so much for the tour Ken, I'm a brit (welsh) and really appreciate your British collection. Your a true biker Ken massive respect for all you do I absolutely love it!
This place is just absolutely amazing!!! I can't wait to see it all finished one day! I have to get out there this summer and see it! My newest bucket list destination!
Please don't take this as disrespect to Senior but......I REALLY like it when Junior gives you a run over on the bike! And actually I think Senior on the bike and Junior on the mic!! Lol. Junior speaks VERY well and has a good voice! Keep up the GOOD work y'all!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪💪
Wow some really amazing and interesting pieces of history right there over the glory years of when bikes where bikes sadly this is going to be a thing off the past for me in 20 years when I'm 50 it will be electric but im petrol till i die it's in my veins
I work at a paper mill in Michigan we have a elevator similar but you don’t have to hold the button . It just got redone by Detroit Elevator . Love the videos and place
Thank you Ken sr & Ken jr for the Tour absolutely beautiful museum I love old buildings & filled with bikes now a real Treasure congratulations to you Sir for all that you do & selling some Fantastic bikes as well.. 👍🏻 🇺🇸 🌎 🇬🇧
I’m gonna come visit someday!!!!! I’m a burgeoning KZ collector. I have two matching black 1983 LTDs. The 550 and 750. I almost bought a 650 CSR just a few days ago.
Ken what an amazing place love the basement,, ever get to the east coast of America,, off the scale bikes,, road and dirt bikes etc,, from Northern Ireland greatly appreciated ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
That building is so old it existed before even Ken did..now that's old!! LOL. Glad you guys are all back in your natural habitat.it seems like ystrday you guys were just heading out.looking forward to our next trip & thanks for taking us along.also my condolences to the Dale Waxler family.
Total respect for what you guys did to this beautiful property. And the bikes are incredible, you need more RDs. I'm an electrician and I have been involved in historical preservation in St Augustine, I really appreciate bringing this place to code, and actually getting the towns love. Rock On!
Ya! ok i think its been featured before in another video that Ken Sr has done ,awesome to think the little Honda Twinstar 200 made for 3 years has a place in the museum.i own one of its brothers in my stable of 2 .an 81 twinstar..still looking for that front fender though..wink wink..oh and lastly i do not get tired of Ken going through the museum no mny how many times i watch em.
Amazing place and story. I've been watching this channel for a long time and now I finally get it. Ken Kaplan ur an amazing person. Glad to see u restoring history be motorcycles and the building as well as helping out ur city and neighbors. Great job keep up the great work
Ken insane collection m8 , in Australia U never see stuff like this old school big bores are really hard to get down under keep up the good work 🇭🇲🇭🇲🇺🇸🇺🇸
I love the museum I want to thank you kap this channel is apart of my life it helps me stay positive and my love for bikes has grown more just by watching this channel God bless America 🇺🇸
One of the most wholesome, enjoyable youtube channels I've ever come across. really want to visit this place in real life, thanks Ken for the great stuff. You encourage my love for bikes, in fact just picked up a KLR250 today !
The SL70 is a keeper ...this thing is gold vintage pit bike that is timeless ...a departed friend of mine who was very short in the inseam built an SL70 into a river bottom blaster that he won the 100 class at the beer can derby ...his was punched out with a Poweroll big bore and stroker with matched camshaft of a total performance kit .. This yielded you a 105cc screamer with a big carb. And a bassani tuned straight pipe ...I just now seen your captured SL70 the boys brought home to you ...better weed that one out of the rubble now and get your boys to put the magic shin on it for the showroom
DUCATI DIRT BIKE'S! Who'd of thought, jeez I'm itching get over to the state's WHEN I do I'm gonna come n visit. I could spend a couple of days there, so much of the stuff that I love! FCUKIN ACE KENNY 👌
I love that guy Mark from Ride Florida. He and His family are very good people, and I love his business, and would like to get over there someday. The video you made of his business, is one of my favorite videos y'all made, out of y'all's many great videos. Mark's 2 young son's are great riders for their age. Mark must be a damn good rider.
I had a tri tip steak dinner and watched super cross ...and it's 2 am and the beans won't let me sleep..this video is making it all worth it!! So cool sr.
Haha..If you guys ever want to see the West Coast , I live in Santa Barbara CA. I have 2 street bikes and 4 dirt bikes. We have the most beautiful coast line . you and the misses and junior are welcome to ride my bikes and see some amazing coast land. 2015 soft tail slim, 2016 fj 09. They're all yours to ride sir. Be well. We have a few motorcycle shops around here too. And pismo beach is 90 minutes north. Near Santa Maria harley Davidson. My insta is boxing_basics101. Be well God bless
Amen to watching pet detective "the monopoly guy" 😄 I was in stiches laughing at that great movie, like watching the Simpsons in the early 90s with a big fat joint, so funny my guts would ache, great days man.
Cool place. I will have to see it in person someday. I have (maybe) the most pristine - rare 2000 Victory V92SC Sport Cruiser. 485 miles. I think I’ll keep it and ride the hell out of it...........
Huge Hello from Alberta Canada …I am so happy to have fallen upon your channel .That said ,In Canada we have great collectables motorcycles..That said…Nothing like you all are gettin your hands on …Respect to all of you guys for doing what your doing .-Proving that old power is as good as new power ..Cant get enough of that kinda truth God Speed love the fxxxxOut of ya “A” lol
IMAGINE if those dirt bikes could tell all their stories. you could just sit back and listen to millions. like a 500 telling you, : this one time this guy let his kid try to ride me having only just got to grips with his cr80 and then:....... haha great stuff ken. I rarely see a 500 in the uk but you are the god of 500 collectors/appreciators. you should start the ken kaplan cr500 appreciation society.
Must be a bunch of chickens around there if no one wanted to _step up_ and ride a hotrod 500cc Honda rental bike. Everyone I know would be champing at the bit to mount up and go. * P.S., A museum of bikes most of which get rode is the best bike museum there is. For that, I have to say this is best motorcycle museum I've seen anywhere,
im a bricklayer in canada, i would love to come and do some repairs on your building to help the cause. i would work for food and the fun it would be to hang in rockville
YOU HAVE A NIMBUS!!! Whole lotta love from Denmark, guys... I love your spot, potential to become better than the Ace or Shed in London, here you only got Christiania and the cops!
Do you have any cr 60s left sr? I've been watching all your recent videos but I'm not sure how to see what bikes are still available, I just can't believe all the beautiful bikes you get and how good you restore them, your the man
Man that's impressive...150k square foot and the history of it as well..be super interesting when it's complete forsure...it will be a constant labor of love for ever...
I need Rockford Bridgestone Chibi 60 parts. Clutch lever perch and lever and cable plus gas tank petcock. Can't find anyone who has parts. I found my first bike this chibi runs in good condition and needs these minor parts. Anyone know where I can get these parts? Thanks
@@KaplanCycles glad to hear it! Life down under is still all over the place. Think we’ve got to wear masks on days ending with y but not starting with t and if you ride a 2 stroke you’re exempt except for every second Sunday
Mr. Ken Kaplan, thank you for all your hard work. And I'm sure Jr. put his time in too. That place looks awesome! Eye candy everywhere, but my favorite has to be the '72 Z1 900. My uncle had one long ago.
Absolutely amazing place. Thanks for the tour

It's a fantastic building.
Thank you my brother
Great walk through, can’t wait to see it in person. I love that 86 GSX-R 1100.
I am 100% going to come visit one day. Will be a long ride from Louisville, but worth it to see all those rad bikes.

Probably going to come down there this year or next from upstate NY
Very nice love the enthusiasm.

The dungeon is heven to me what a collection of bikes 😃👍
YO! Kenny why don't you sell the quadzilla to scalzi? That thing would look boss outside of his shop!😉👍

Send it to the museum!!
I have a question for you Mr. Kaplan ! When will you do a podcast so we can speak to you live ? Thankx !
Soon I hope !
Awesome bikes 🔥
Here hold my dirt bike ken I'm heading over to the museum.
If you let him hold your dirt bike he'll only end up wheelieing up the whole street on it,
2 stroke stocks going up 📈
what a place fantastic!
Still trying to find out what those lower fork guards are on that 82 or 83 it175, trying to find some for mine and those look amazing
God's got His eye on you and He's smiling. God bless buddy.
Very cool...watching from Australia
Fantastic building, I could ride around and through the building and grounds all day everyday, with a nice blonde and a brunette 3s up 😄
Man that's impressive...150k square foot and the history of it as well..be super interesting when it's complete forsure...it will be a constant labor of love for ever...
You guys need a atc250r and a 50th anniversary 350 banshee and put that quadracer in the museum!!!
I need Rockford Bridgestone Chibi 60 parts. Clutch lever perch and lever and cable plus gas tank petcock.
Can't find anyone who has parts.
I found my first bike this chibi runs in good condition and needs these minor parts.
Anyone know where I can get these parts?
Thanks
I don't think there are many places on the planet that are this unique.
Thank you brother
Cheers senior 👍 hope all is well over there!
All is awesome!! Having a blast

Fantastic
That smoke stack is beautiful
