Ultimate Barn find

Very interesting video. Not sure about starting bikes with 50 year old oil though. Be patient when clicking on the link. There are several videos and they automatically start one after the other.

Sorry if re post...

Good find there chap.

Amazing! I was also a little surprised at the relatively low prices for the cars and the generally higher prices for the old bikes.
They almost paid you to take away the newer Japanese bikes...

Great find Corsi, what an absolute treasure trove. I'd be like a kid in a candy shop amongst that lot.
Thanks for posting.

Awesome find for sure.:first:

But i can't help but think that this guy shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the bikes trying to start them. He's Trying to kick them over to see if they run before even wheeling them outside, surely that could bugger the rings etc, should the bores etc not be removed lubricated before even attempting to rotate the engine? I know they are museum pieces and are not intended to be ridden daily but thats not really my point...

Don't fancy the tools they are using either, using a big nut fucker on spark plugs :no: Don't be hasty, take your time and do it properly!

Still awesome to watch though :)
