Hi Mike, I often visit Andy's as there's always something of interest there plus he's a very helpful chap. Big fan of The Mighty Garage. Keep up the good work and interesting videos. Rick
Hi Rick, thanks so much for your kind note. I have fond memories of visiting Andy's place. He was really cool in letting my brother, my Dad and I walk around for a while and we had a good chat. That was the one of the last times that I saw my Dad and so I have very happy memories of a great day out. Best wishes, Mike
i think some peiple somewhere , still have undiscovered hoard's of bike's over there still as someone else commented, any way found myself a new channel to watch /mi ty.
In the 1970's when I started riding motorcycles you couldn't have given many of those bikes away. I bought a BSA A10 then, in really good condition for just £120. I'd be lucky to get one now for £5000.
I'm not current with the vintage bike market but some of those prices seemed quite high, especially considering the exchange rate.There are certainly some beautiful bikes in that room though.
Ha, ha. I noticed you took a good long look at it. Also took a double take on that Goldstar. :^) Thanks for showing the video, Mike. I really enjoyed it.
Hi Scott. Yes, his prices are quite high but he has some lovely old veteran bikes that you probably won't see in the US. Ironically, British bikes are much more expensive in Britain these days and they also tend to be more well worn than Brit bikes found in the USA. Following WWII, the relatively poor Brits needed them to get to work and for play, whereas their relatively wealthy American cousins typically would have a car and their motorcycles for playing with. So their bikes didn't get as much use. Plus the weather played a big part in the overall condition of most bikes!
The word “Shop” may have been lost in translation. A shop in the UK is typically a place that sells stuff, in this case vintage motorcycles. A shop in the US is predominantly a workshop where bikes are worked on. This had both but more focus on selling the bikes.
Hi David, you could approximate the USD cost by multiplying the amounts in the video by about 1.3 (£1 = $1.31 as of today!). It's a very good time to buy something from the UK! Cheers, Mike
Hi Roy, It's Andy Tiernan's Classic motorcycles. Additional info about the store is in the description. It was such a cool place to visit! Cheers, Mike
Hi Rey, I personally love Goldstars, so I’d take a Goldie over a Velocette Venom/Thruxton and Viper, but the Velos are also magnificent. Generally speaking, I think the Velo could be a little more challenging to live with but either would be a fine single to own!
It's actually both a shop and workshop and the names are often interchangeable. All those labels on the bikes are price tags as most of the bikes are for sale. Cheers.

I want all of them x
Proper shop... Real motorcycles
Therapy - an hour or two here , a time machine of the history of motorcycling. Very honest and friendly, well worth a visit.

Andy Tiernan?
Yes indeed! It's a fantastic place. Cheers, Mike
Spotted an Octopus extracting tool on the bench at the start of the video, rare things.
This place is hidden treasure of British bikes 😵💓💓
wow

So true Geoff! If only I had bought a bunch of old bikes back then and held on to them! Cheers, Mike
Andys shop is in Suffolk,along walk from Norfolk. Just saying,
Thanks Graeme, my brother lives in Diss and has taken me a couple of times. That is a fantastic place. It's like heaven in there ☺️. Best wishes, Mike
@@TheMightyGarage Me and Andy are life long friends, great man,great friend.
@@TheMightyGarage Diss is a great little town especilly on Fridays, market day, Also very close to the Suffolk, Norfolk border.
What an amazing collection of motorcycle, and they appear to be for sale.
Hi Scott! Oh yes, everything was for sale! I could have left with that Cammy Norton... if only I had remembered to take 25,000 GBP with me ;)
I'm not current with the vintage bike market but some of those prices seemed quite high, especially considering the exchange rate.There are certainly some beautiful bikes in that room though.

It really was my pleasure Scott! I could live there and work there for free! If only I could find a way of being an apprentice again ;)

You just videoed a packed, crowded, nuts to butts repository of old motorcycles. I was hoping to see a motorcycle SHOP!

Got a few quid`s worth there . Some of the best of British
How long could I spend in there!?
Hehe, I know William. It's like heaven 😉
@@TheMightyGarage Hopefully, I'm in the process of buying a bike from there.
@@williamnethercott4364 Oh wow! Excellent news. Good luck.
How much are they in US Dollars ?
Hi David, you could approximate the USD cost by multiplying the amounts in the video by about 1.3 (£1 = $1.31 as of today!). It's a very good time to buy something from the UK! Cheers, Mike
what were the prices like compared to us pricing.
Wow, they were really expensive, but he has some fantastic bikes that you probably wouldn't see over here in the States!
Is this Blays of Twickenham?
Hi Roy, It's Andy Tiernan's Classic motorcycles. Additional info about the store is in the description. It was such a cool place to visit! Cheers, Mike
A ndy Tierman thats his garage
What a great shop! Goldie or Velo for me and I'll take the Rocket III as well. What is the shop name?
Scrap that question. Just found it in your description.
No problem. Cheers, Mike.
Paradice to me .
What's your take on a goldie vs a velo?
Hi Rey, I personally love Goldstars, so I’d take a Goldie over a Velocette Venom/Thruxton and Viper, but the Velos are also magnificent. Generally speaking, I think the Velo could be a little more challenging to live with but either would be a fine single to own!
The prices were also proper British,like the Goldstar for 12,000 pounds! LOL...but definitely very cool
Hehe. Yes! It was a lovely Goldie but 17,500 pounds! Even with the strong dollar (or weak pound), that's $22,700 plus shipping. Gulp.
Wow! I dream of finding one like that in a barn somewhere...
Hi mike velo venom and a vogue great Trevor
.ca not beat nostalgia. I can smell that oil from here yum.
Hehe, it was like heaven ;) Best wishes Helen.
It's not a shop,it's a museum,unless of course you've got so much money you don't know what to do with it.
Don't you mean workshop. A shop is where things ar sold.
It's actually both a shop and workshop and the names are often interchangeable. All those labels on the bikes are price tags as most of the bikes are for sale. Cheers.
Bikes must get scratched and dinged up given how tightly they are packed.
