Some people think they have gold, when all they really have is overpriced, rusty iron. These old bikes are not worth too much until your crew and you work your magic on them. What some old timer sellers don't understand is how expensive that magic can be these days, and how quickly a parts and hours of labor list can go up.
When you think your a mechanic, but all you realy love is just pulling things apart..... And the worst part is that when this guy gets kicked out of that shop. All those bikes and parts just ends up in a trash container and goes as scrap metal.
Just about every one of these gems is worth around $100 as is as parts bikes. No titles, having not run in 20+ years (not 10 like this guy's saying). Man his prices are off the chart!!!
Same, I’m English, still can’t get over just how much stuff that just sits there rotting away, just how does he find the space for all this stuff anyway that’s what’s got me baffled, the best we can do here in the uk is a 8x8ft shed out the back big enough for one bike lol.. madness if you ask me.
I'm American and I wonder the same thing. Some people are hoarders while others look at stuff as investments for retirement. I like my garage clean and organized not like this. Have a good day across the sea 👍
@@89foxguy 100% correct we will find stuff for a real good deal and buy it with hopes of selling it for more but never do and it just becomes a a hoard.
And as a Yank I'm embarrassed by the obsessive addiction to more more more and then some more!!!! Why would you get more or less another broken down titleless piece of shit when you still need to repair and get running 60 other piles of dust covered junk heaps???? GOOFY
I’ve thrown away garbage that looked in better condition then some of that stuff ....well I guess one man’s gumbo is another man’s chicken ...but captain I got to give you props you kept it civil and acted like a true businessman...and did like Kenny Rogers said , you got know when to hold em know when to fold em they’ll be time enough for counting when the gambling’s done.
I’d give him $100.00 for each bike and that’s it. Apparently he’s not interested in cleaning out his warehouse. I’ve seen guys like him on American Pickers. 🇺🇸
Ken, I knew a guy with Triumph Spitfires, all parted out in a climated yard. The guy has some crazy emotional (delusional) connection to the car parts. He wanted GOLD for everything. What I tell them: There isn’t a line of guys behind me willing to buy this junk, I’m it! That was 15 years ago. The car parts are still there rusting out. The kid is grown and the Ship sailed.
thats what I was thinking. I might go more on the 250R, resale is pretty high on those and they have a cult following.... but scrap value for everything I saw. Bundle up all the NOS parts and give him a price for the lot. But.... I know old men like the owner. They will never sell until the auction man comes and there hand is forced. Ken handled it well. What are you going to do? Get mad at an old man? NAh...... just call it a day, take the wife out to eat, and try to make the best of it.
I don't think the old guy was talking current US currency Ken, pretty sure he was talking "Shillings", pretty sure he's an expert in Shillings. haha Should've asked him if he had any of his old "Gold Mine Claims" left for sale, I can only imagine the price he'd put on one of them. lmao
Guy will end up getting like 1c on the dollar when it all goes to scrap.. I know a guy in a similar situation with cars and would rather send them to scrap for 100 bucks per car because he wont lower his prices down a bit, he must be so stuck in some rut!
What you think you own ends up owning you. Good lesson for all us on our own episodes of hoarders. I just drove 6 hour round trip for ratty pair of sg11s, dude was no call no show. Sometimes the chase gets you.
Not one of those bikes was 100% fully complete. Yet people seem to compare their baskets to the complete bikes and expect full price! Yeah it’s missing a seat, tank is damaged, no indicators or headlight but once it’s restored you can sell it for a lot more ..... yeah right
As someone who lives in North Carolina there are alot of 10 cent millionaires here and this guy is one of them 😂 I wish I had some bikes I could sale you to salvage your trip
“Well thank you for showing me your stuff, really appreciate it sir” “Good luck with the clear out and I’ll speak soon” (Rings you back in a week with a total clear out offer cheap).
Can always tell by the first price they give if they’re wanting what they got in it or what it’s actually worth for someone else to buy, go through, and haul it and there’s a big difference between the prior and latter. Hopefully you have better luck next time. ✌️

WTF LMAO this video was funny asf. the blown head gasket bike that didnt even crank... and that pause when you asked the price... and he said 1600 LMAO i could not stop laughing
I'll take the 250r and the baby tt-r! Man there's not one single holeshot contender in that entire lot... Sorry about your luck. This is what the rest of us have to deal with because you bought all the good machines!! 🤣 just bustin balls man. But damn...i can hear the disappointment in your voice..sorry about your luck Ken. Safe travels and thanks for sharing as always 🤘
That's a yamha there ..you got the rest of the bike ? ...I don't think I do but you can have that old corn dog there sat up on the tank with it if you want .
Assuming this is down south because here in Georgia, EVERY bike you see on Facebook marketplace or Craigslist is always over priced. I don’t know why that is. I found a nice deal on an 85 yz250 from up north and had to get it shipped to Georgia. There’s just no good deals around here anymore
The Honda c70 Cub is worth a few hundred. $200-400 typical. In complete good-vg shape $1500+ = his is missing parts. Excellent/restored $2k-$3k. That XL70 is worth $1k+ Honda Trx250r is $4-5k Parts bikes missing a ton of stuff are hard to judge because all the parts can be hard to get and expensive. Service costs can be a nightmare.
@@user-wu9dn6sl9y north Carolina, and good luck his original owner prob reported it stolen. N the guy prob wants 5k. Plus guy only had till March 31st to clear it all.
WTF? That old dude was trying to sell a bike whose owner was in jail. I guess the price for the bike would depend on how long the guy was in jail for?😂
Yeah some people are out of there minds on value of there junk. I have a friend that has a 1978 kawasaki KZ 1000 that has been sitting outside since 1998 with a shitty cover . It ran great back then . I have been trying to buy that bike from him for 20 years. Its such a shame the condition of it now, it's just rotting away
He is got a Suzuki gs behind the kawasaki with blown head gasket and no title. Suzuki has a rear passenger seat grab bar. I have been looking for it for my 1982 gs 750. And it's right there. How much for grab bar? Ah I take $1200. I can't find 1 that sucks.
Only two things can get me to touch anything without title: a) inexpensive part donor vehicle for a titled vehicle I own - or - b) practically free but would be very, very expensive if it wasn't untitled
Ken just file this one as experience you have and had lot of great experiences I say he is throwing something on the wall and see if it sticks thanks catch you next time !!
I hope you got the seat for the yamaha 80 moto four. It was the seat with three stripes you knocked over in the wood crate. The four wheler looked like it was missing something because the seat covers the gas tank. Just some random seat was sitting on it instead of the correct seat.

Hoarders always amaze me. Like this guy or the ones you see on American Pickers. That could be such a nice garage/workshop, but instead it's piled high with junk and "projects" that will never get worked on. Then the owner will die and leave his family to deal with the gigantic mess. It's actually pretty selfish.
100% accurate! I have been dealing with people like this for years! Ridiculous. What a shame that these time machines cannot be enjoyed all because of one person's greed.
I liked when u told the guy.....yep....this Gold Wing is a boat anchor.....we throw those in garbage at our shop. OLD BOY thought to himself "welp.....i guess ill take 2 thousand for her 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Come back in 2 weeks when he has to be out and I am sure the prices will be drastically lower when he realizes he doesn't own it anymore. Cool video with lots of vintage stuff. Shame it all might just go for scrap.....
People think there stuff is made of gold . The amount of time and effort it takes to restore is substantial . If cleaned up and organized there's a decent supply of parts and a few bikes worth restoring .but is it worth the price they're asking?
Man, this is truly said... People have no idea what they truly have... Or even the GUMPTION to tidy up and make sumthin' outta nuthin' ! First of all, the amount of SPACE / STORAGE / BUILDINGS he had........was AMAZING. In LA, CA where I'm from...he's sitting on a gold mine. And then, if he just tidy'd up, had the bikes lined up, cleaned up, or even if he turned it into a pick a part, or whatever....he would be in better shape. But everything just went to waste... Dont know his circumstances but, there has got to be a better way...
We are moving and my wife says just buy it when we get there. I say the time to buy is when you se it no matter what state your in. This is a good example of how some want way to much and you will never make a deal. No matter what state your in. Ha.
I still watch this video on occasion, and laugh at this elderly man, with the crazy prices he comes up with. His wife, if she is even still alive, must be a patient saint, with all of his junk all around him. Many women would divorce a man over all of that. 🤣....Sorry that y'all made a wasted trip, and that this elderly man wasted your time.
Not every hord is going to be hardly used classics in a dry stored condition , we and these bikes arnt getting any younger , you have to check out every lead possible . thats just the way it is .
Get that aeroplane Ken!! C'mon man!! That could be the next RUclips 💡 idea. Make Jr. fly it. Hahahaha Flying Kaplan family 👪 Hope these laughs help take the sting out of a 10 hour trip.. lol See you on next one. God Bless America. 🇺🇸
Yep thats how it is here in NC. Type in a search ATV, dirt bike etc.. and NC is double the price over VA just one state away. Reason i am sure is that better economy in NC but it still sucks that i'd have to drive that far and hope its worth it so i really dont.
At prices like that the stuff ain't really for sale. Trying to retire off leftovers. The only thing that grabbed my attention was the cb1100f. To me that's a cyclegasm.
Guys, say what you want about the old dude but I admire him. I mean, he must have balls of steel to attempt this LOL! Seriously, good on you Ken for remaining a gentleman after he enticed you to commit all that time for nothing. You did manage to toss a few good lines his way though. "A million dollars for everything."
I always loved when people thought bikes were dangerous but let’s get the kid an ATC 70 or whatever was next size up, 90 maybe?? Then they went into that 3 wheeler wobble, tip over or rolled over their ankle.
About 90% of that stuff was junk or not worth dealing with but there were a few hidden gems in that hoard the big one being the 250r and he had some decent parts but most of the "complete" bikes were trash.
The man that would be brave enough to fly or even RIDE anything that came out of that building... Would really need to reassess his choices in life. Come to think of it, the man keeping it all should likely be doing the same!
Lordy Lordy Lordy. Nice enough fella's, but they're smokin crack, if they think those bikes are worth those prices. I have three project bikes, one I just finished is a virago 750....I paid $400. Second, Suzuki GS 850g....I paid $150. Third, Honda Magna 750....needs alot of work, but I only paid $100. Check out craigslist in Maine Brother. Lots of good project bikes, much cheaper, and many in more complete condition. If you look up craigslist maine, it also covers surrounding areas, down to Boston and New Hampshire. Lots of really good deals. Hope this is helpful my friend. Good luck.👍

Yep thats how it is here in NC. Type in a search ATV, dirt bike etc.. and NC is double the price over VA just one state away. Reason i am sure is that better economy in NC but it still sucks that i'd have to drive that far and hope its worth it so i really dont.
Talk about the absolute balls ass opposite of your 🏍 museum Ken.
That place needs some sweat equity!!
Well, Ken you always talk about unobtainium and now you found it 🤣
Ken's a smart guy but sometimes he comes up w/ words that leave me baffled!
@@richardmorris7063 agreed 👍
@@jeffdarkness666 its funny too how his daughter calls him out on it too.
😂😂😂😂
I do like that cb1100f, but it’s a little rough, and that little Yamaha with the snake skin seat is hilarious😂
At prices like that the stuff ain't really for sale. Trying to retire off leftovers. The only thing that grabbed my attention was the cb1100f. To me that's a cyclegasm.
Guys, say what you want about the old dude but I admire him. I mean, he must have balls of steel to attempt this LOL!
Seriously, good on you Ken for remaining a gentleman after he enticed you to commit all that time for nothing. You did manage to toss a few good lines his way though. "A million dollars for everything."
Your just trying to help an old fella out hey Ken the misses doesn't sound excited hahahahaha
Holy Shit I was howling through the entire video
How did you miss the 77-78 XR75 exhaust hanging off the shelf? Unobtainium !!!! $500 easy!
I always loved when people thought bikes were dangerous but let’s get the kid an ATC 70 or whatever was next size up, 90 maybe?? Then they went into that 3 wheeler wobble, tip over or rolled over their ankle.
About 90% of that stuff was junk or not worth dealing with but there were a few hidden gems in that hoard the big one being the 250r and he had some decent parts but most of the "complete" bikes were trash.
The man that would be brave enough to fly or even RIDE anything that came out of that building... Would really need to reassess his choices in life. Come to think of it, the man keeping it all should likely be doing the same!
Airplane: Wood prop, Sopwith wanna-be. Looks like a NTSB report.
Unreal. Guy trying pull a fast one on ya. Good Lord!
Lordy Lordy Lordy. Nice enough fella's, but they're smokin crack, if they think those bikes are worth those prices. I have three project bikes, one I just finished is a virago 750....I paid $400. Second, Suzuki GS 850g....I paid $150. Third, Honda Magna 750....needs alot of work, but I only paid $100. Check out craigslist in Maine Brother. Lots of good project bikes, much cheaper, and many in more complete condition. If you look up craigslist maine, it also covers surrounding areas, down to Boston and New Hampshire. Lots of really good deals. Hope this is helpful my friend. Good luck.👍
Did he put a ridiculous price on the dust that covered everything also?? Just curious.....
