Cool show, I think it's called American Pickers. It's amazing what people have hidden away in barns and sheds. It's on at 7.30, Friday nights on the Discovery Channel (Ithink, check to make sure). In one of the early episodes the boys found a pretty complete Yankee 500 and after the usual haggling got it for $400. I dig the tattoo'd office girl too (Danielle)

Yeah .. did you see him stand on the tank of the early SC or MX (Couldn't be sure but looked like SC or MX250 or 360) to get up to the top of the "rubbish pile"  ::)

I love the show and agree Nathan, my ideal occupation too, but I predict it's short lived as when people see what they pick the items for vs what they "value" or sell them at, they will catch on and that will make it harder to find the bargains.

Years ago I was driving through some farm country in the U.S with friends and we drove past a farm house that had an acre of dirtbikes stacked against each other.  My mate was driving and just blew past as I was going WTF.

awesome show, would be so much fun!

anyone see last week where the 2 guys were talking and there was either a 76 125 C or X over their left hand shoulder? The guy with the 2000 bikes?

and the other week there was one of the silver and orange tanked tt500's in a shed the guy wanted i think about 800 for.

Watched 2 hot women doing the same thing last night and turning it into furniture. They unearthed shed full of Harley Sprint 350s and proceeded to paint one gold and turn it into cocktail table.  ::) Some rock star bought it.
