Ive got an idea. Ill buy hundreds of my favourite bikes in the world and then buy a house to put them in. Doooh - some guys beat me to it!.

What a collection. I especially love the Mecatecno MR326 , Dragonfly , Skywalker ,JJ Cobos (only about 2 left) 3 Alfers (ive only seen one ever) and ive been searching , Merlin ..............

1) Those who are Geordies and..
2) Those that want to be.

I personally find the photos rather sad :(
I enjoy looking at a good display in a museum with a bit of the bikes history to read up on but to see all those poor bikes just sitting there gathering dust, it's just not right. Set them free!
I'll easily foster/adopt a few of them if need be but they should either be on display or getting used for what they were built for.

Your right , they look sad sat there , flat tyres , laquered petrol and seized cables. You cant keep that number of bikes like that going without a team of mechanics full time , so i guess hes has no choice. The paint is really faded on some including the skywalker, which is a pity.

If you had to choose just one ? I cant decide

When I married my wife, I took her out to the garage to show her my MC collection. I told her "see this big mess.....its only going to get worse" that was 20 years ago and she still hates me!
