Title: Ever wondered what happended to the factory bikes?
Post by: dave king on September 26, 2008, 01:55:50 am

This is my mate Clive Busseys private collection of ex factory bikes.Clive has been collecting for over 30 years and sadly he has lost the passion for collecting.  I made this vid about 2 months ago before the collection was broken up and sent to the USA and Australia.    See whos bike you can spot, there is at least 4 world title winning bikes there.  Sorry about the music but it was a off the cuff vid and we were all talking shite so i had to edit it.  enjoy.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVVJYw3FW_M&feature=user

Dave that's an awesome collection, hard to believe the owners lost interest in it. I'm guessing there are Suzuki and Kawasaki title winning bikes from Jobe, Noyces Honda, Joel Roberts Suzuki, Donny Schmitds Chesterfield Yamaha? I even spotted a Ribi front end that DeCoster used on his Honda.  Very cool..

I'm not greedy, I'll just take the keys to the loft ;) ;D.

Better still, let VMX in there for about 6 months or so, to pull down the bikes and photograph the bikes in absolute detail ;D. Then publish it in print and on the internet.

Thats an awesome collection. To create a collection like that I take it he was involved with motocross? Any idea what sort of $$ they fetched? Enough to by a new house I would imagine!

Yes someone in Brisbane will have 10 of those bikes soon i believe. Hopefully we'll get to see some of them.
