Foxtel are doing an 8 part Australian Pickers series this year. It will probably be on A&E.

I reckon some of the likely places maybe be out the back of South Aust with the trips made across the long paddock from back in the day.
So many cars and bikes etc left when broken down from that Trans Continant trip in the 50/60's  8)  :P

Let's face it some dirt bikes were never meant to be ridden.

Its a pitty the scrap metal craze over the last few years decimated the aussie bike and car parts supply.
A couple of hundred a ton saw shitloads of cars bikes and machinery ground up for what?
Most of the boneheads that were collecting didn't give a rats and or didn't know half the stuff they had was worht a lot more than they actually received.
If at first you don't succeed, lower your standards.
