Oh yeah, the bikes are cool too. Too bad about their inevitable doom when the building collapses though. Sure wish I could rescue and restore/ride a few. Ah, to dream. Now back to that blonde . . .

Shame they are all going to rot. Title: Re: Abandoned warehouse full of vintage motorcycles!! Post by: Oldfisti on December 30, 2008, 09:02:32 AM I think a little trip to Lockport is in order. About 4 hr trip west on the Thruway for me.
Title: Re: Abandoned warehouse full of vintage motorcycles!! Post by: herm on December 30, 2008, 09:48:23 AM that is a true crime...
wish i had the time/$ to rescue the bikes. could probably recoup costs by selling vintage stuff for restoration Title: Re: Abandoned warehouse full of vintage motorcycles!! Post by: DesmoDiva on December 30, 2008, 12:50:20 PM I think a little trip to Lockport is in order. About 4 hr trip west on the Thruway for me. Only a half hour from B and I. But we're more interested in the building than the bikes. :-\ Title: Re: Abandoned warehouse full of vintage motorcycles!!

Post by: duc996 on December 31, 2008, 04:52:30 AM Sad to see such a place go to waste.
Title: Re: Abandoned warehouse full of vintage motorcycles!! Post by: DesmoDiva on July 29, 2009, 10:04:55 AM These bikes/parts are now up for auction!!!
See here (http://www.jwoodandcompany.com/2009/jack_dash/jack_dash.htm) Title: Re: Abandoned warehouse full of vintage motorcycles!! Post by: redxblack on July 29, 2009, 10:27:17 AM I wish I knew how the market was going to go. If there is something decent that would be within my budget, I'd make the trip up for this. It's only 4 hours away.

Post by: Rufus120 on July 29, 2009, 11:21:18 AM The internet is pretty amazing. Some kid on a rainbow 6 forum posts up about this place and before you know it the guy that owns it is gonna have motorcycle buffs from all over the country driving to his doorstep to look at these bikes.
It's a real shame the building is in such bad shape ruining all those bikes. :'( Hopefully a huge chunk of em find new homes. I bet the guy that originally collected them rolled over in his grave every time the floor caved in taking down 20-30 bikes. :o Sooo who is gonna go find out if there some ducs over there? [moto] Title: Re: Abandoned warehouse full of vintage motorcycles!! Post by: DesmoDiva on July 29, 2009, 12:29:41 PM B and I are going to the viewing on Thurs. before the auction, friday.
There is a pretty extensive list of whole (wholeish) bikes on the auctioneers site. See here http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=27450.0 (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=27450.0) for some picts and link to auction site. Does not appear to be any ducs. :( Title: Re: Abandoned warehouse full of vintage motorcycles!! Post by: DoubleEagle on July 29, 2009, 12:35:19 PM Holy Cantaloupes and Watermelons............oh the bikes.
So very sad. There is a truly beautiful early 1800s Victorian, brick, home located on a farm and in this house are Tapestries that I saw when I was 16 , 44 years ago, I know those Tapestries are worth a small fortune and all the antique furniture I saw when I was in the long ago vacant property at age 16. I don't know what it is about people that have valuable things and won't sell them when offered, but will let them sit and rot away to nothing. Dolph Title: Re: Abandoned warehouse full of vintage motorcycles!! Post by: Speedbag on July 29, 2009, 01:25:17 PM I want that Harley XR750 street bike. Bad. If someone local can check it out for me it would be way cool....
Title: Re: Abandoned warehouse full of vintage motorcycles!! Post by: redxblack on July 29, 2009, 03:23:04 PM I'd love to pick up a Norton or Triumph 80% completed as a dabbler project. I don't think I could handle a full rebuild. If only this happened in May instead of August when I was more cash flush. Oh well.
Title: Re: Abandoned warehouse full of vintage motorcycles!! Post by: Charlief on August 01, 2009, 05:11:54 AM I wonder what was paid for the lot?
Title: Re: Abandoned warehouse full of vintage motorcycles!! Post by: DesmoDiva on August 01, 2009, 02:08:27 PM It is an Estate liquidation....
No $$ has changed hands yet. Title: Re: Abandoned warehouse full of vintage motorcycles!! Post by: Bun-bun on August 01, 2009, 04:15:31 PM Auctioneers website mentions 2 Ducati 750 round case GT's.
Anyone want to bid for me? [evil] Title: Re: Abandoned warehouse full of vintage motorcycles!! Post by: redxblack on August 01, 2009, 04:24:37 PM I may have to go after all! [evil]
