that is amazing.  imagine if most of these got separated out and restored and given the chance to be shown off at vintage minibike gatherings - be massive, all these fab sl70s and stuff running round....

i remember i wrote a two page treatise to my parents when i was about eleven, as to why they should buy me a z50....two pages on why it would be to their (and my) benefit - how'd i come up with that much gumpf???

I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

I dunno.. I find it a little sad to think that all those old bikes could have seen your little terrors blitzing neighbourhoods for years and years - yet they were all locked away.

PERM250 I was keeping an eye on it ;) it would have to be 100,000 USD reserve, I was talking to friend yesterday who told me in his travels a few weeks ago he came across eight sheds full of old dirt bikes and parts on a old farm, including 6 XR75's KO/K1 models, he reckons it would take at least a week to go through the sheds to see whats there ;D

Anybody who's been to Anthony Suttors spread at Euchareena will have seen a couple of sheds like the one Betric describes. There's literally hundreds of Bultacos. You have to see it to believe it. :o

We reckon with say 30 old sheds in each shire within each state and then an average ,then family heritage estates states x by what ever,plus then divide you'd get an average of one shed in 20 that has some amount of bikes in it.  :o
In other words there is tractor trailer loads full of old bikes out there. ;D
Its only 2008 & 7/8 so there is plenty to discover.  ;)
somethin like that anyway. ;D
