Look Ma, junk bikes. Lots a junk bikes!

I take whatever I can get and then I hide them in sheds and dark corners of the yard, as long as they don't get in my wife's way, she's ok with it... to a point.

As for the 84 bikes from a police auction, that's cool and uncool all in one. Someone stole my BMX from my house this summer, it will probably end up in someone else's hands at an auction, and that just makes me sick.

That's why it's important to keep track of your serial numbers and actually report when a bike is stolen. I hate knowing that the only new bike I ever bought is out there with someone else using it but fingers crossed that one day it'll come back.

Amen bro. I have started writing down the serial on all my bikes, even though I keep most locked away in the shed and they are so buried in that it'd take some guts to even attempt to take them. But I also find it interesting to learn how to de-code them. Also pretty cool when you go through the books and learn that you've owned the same exact bike 8 times or more.....lol.

I had one bike, a candy red ladies Huffy in almost perfect condition that kept coming back somehow just to spite me.
I sold it to a guy in Logansport for his wife, a year later I found it in the trash in Michigan city on a fishing trip.
Sold it again to a guy in Indy, He gave it to a guy who happened to move to Kokomo, He used it as a trade in for another bike I had,
Sold it to a guy it Attica, Somehow I have no idea how but it showed up on a junker's truck and I bought it again.
Finally I GAVE it to a guy in Chicago that came to buy a car I had. He was looking for a bike for his daughter and I just said take it.
6 weeks later I came home and found it leaning against my shed with a note that said "free bike for parts"

I got sick of playing boomerang with it and finally did what I should have done to begin with.

Today I had to make a very tough decision. Turn away a offer for free junk bikes or load em up and bring em home. Well, you can see what I decided. It's a disease, a sicness, a breakdown of rationality, the Sanford and Son Syndrome! My wife has yet to see the pile and Lucy I'm gonna have some splainin to do. Anyway check it out. Lotsa of good fence decorations. I may have some treasures but won't really know until I sort em out. I will take some shots of the good stuff I plan on keeping and using for other builds. If anyone wants to see a close up pic of something let me know. Any local bike nuts need something let me know. If you don't need nothing well then I guess don't let me know. Later!

Man see what happins when you dont fill your truck up with enough garage doors :shock:. Empty space breeds bicycles.
