Re: I found where bikes go when they die
I'm pretty sure that I saw a bunch of GL1000 grab rails hanging from a rack in the video........that must be where they all went.

Re: I found where bikes go when they die
Incredible !! I saw a video of the deposit on youtube, I was speechless! I saw, among the motorcycles for sale, one of the motorcycles of my desires, the small Honda Dream CB 160 from 1965 for only 1299 dollars !!

Re: I found where bikes go when they die
They don't ALL go there to die...I bought my 82 with sidecar there, and rode it home 100 miles or so. After some initial struggles with some of the details, it still runs today. I picked through a couple of rows of piles to find a couple of parts for my 83 FT500 while I was there....The magnitude of stuff is almost overwhelming.
In the garage:
1977 GL1000
1982 GL1100 with California Side Car hack
1982 FT500 Ascot(Wife's bike)
1983 FT500 Ascot
1983 XL600R(with some 85 parts)

Re: I found where bikes go when they die
I went to a salvage yard in Phoenix and they had different sections by brand. I picked up a set of forks better than mine came with and need to go back for some other items someday. That's how I spent election day (Nov 3rd) since I voted early in person.
I will try to remember to upload photos if I can figure out how.

Re: I found where bikes go when they die
I cannot imagine a cycle salvage yard being more stocked and less organized than Bob's in South Phoenix. I posted about it some years back:

Re: I found where bikes go when they die
it's amazing what you have available! in Italy, but also in Europe, such a situation is unthinkable. in Italy, as far as I know, motorcycles, if they cannot be kept indoors and on a waterproof floor, to avoid polluting the ground, must be destroyed within 60 days.
