Some of you may have s\already seen this on the Muscle Bike Forum but we made a 12 hour trip to grab a few things, thought I would share! (Not selling anything until I go through and get what I need) Enjoy! ;)

Wow what a haul! How soon till it is listed on eBay? I know a lot of people looking for those parts!
 
Some of it will be for builds and some will go onto ebay. I listed the NOS drum last night for .99 cents ;)
 
What's the story behind all this? Collector getting out of the game so you bought him completely out?

What's your plan with it all?

Yeah, I have had a lot going on with "life" in the last couple years. Took a little time off to get my Gunstore up and going but we were burglarized and it has been down hill since. I had to sell most of my collection to stay afloat. Things seem to be getting back to normal so hoping to build some bikes again.

The parts shown are from a guy I have known for years. He was about 9.5 hours away from me so we met up. I drove about 6 hours there then 6 hours back but well worth it. He said he has been messing with his cars more and the bikes were taking up a lot of space. He shot me a price and it was fair so we got it done. Would love to do this every week. ;)
 
I'm sorry you got hit with a burglary. I didn't know you had a gun store, but I do see a number of rifles in the picture, so that makes sense. I'm about to purchase my first guns soon. But in California we don't get the cheap.

Yeah they got about $14,000 of my inventory so i had to sell many of my bikes to stay afloat. I am getting down to just a few guns in the shop to keep my FFL license. Insurance is too high anyway in comparison to the profit margin. I have a collection of my own WWII era guns also. Illinois is a tough place to run a gun business. We actually call it "Little California" due to the gun laws tend to follow Cali in many ways. Fortunately, I live in the southern part of Illinois where I can shoot an AK-47 in my backyard and nobody cares.

Anyway back to bikes.... I am hoping to build up about 10 bikes or so. Really don't want a massive collection like I used to have. It becomes work just keeping them cleaned up and tires aired up. lol ;)
 
Man that is a lot of stuff stolen! Didn't they trip the alarm when they got this stuff? Hope it was recovered, that seems like a lot of firearms that could have ended up in the wrong hands.

Will be looking for some cool stuff on eBay soon!
 
Thanks, my wife saw me looking at this and accused me of looking at muscle bike .... :nod:
Nice haul, looking forward hopefully to some purchases.

Yeah ATF and State Police caught the 4 guys within 24 hours. Local hood rats. They got my guns but still have them until all the guys are sentenced. So until then I am at a loss. Once I get them back I hope to clean them up enough to sell to recover some of my losses. Could be a few years ...
 
Sorry to hear about the robbery but my brain is still looking at that cache and going "hamana-hamana-hamana"

If that is the definition of "a few parts" than I might be a few parts short of complete bike figuratively speaking of course. :bigsmile:
