    Uglyprimates mention of Zundapps brought back memories of bicycling to Kohl's motorcycle dealership just south of Lockport, NY and kicking in the weeds to peek @ pre WWII motorcycles.

    Just had to do an internet search to find out the fate of the place   http://dcclassiccycles.dynamitedave.com/graveyard.html /> Was not disappointed, my heart was broken - The place is classified as a "brown field" area - To me it was a museum

    Sjsak1 old mate..Thats bloody incredible.I felt my eyes start to well up a bit reading that story and looking at those pictures.To find a bloody cache of bikes like that is every blokes dream.I cant believe that they only bought a few bikes and bits.Shit mate they woulda needed a shotgun and a crowbar to get me outta there and a semi to load the bikes up.I watch that TV Show American Pickers and think "shit mate I gotta get into those places".Thanx very much for the story mate and I there was any other little treasure coves you know of I'd be real bloody interested..CHEERS BOOF

    Me too - 1st ride was when I 'napped my Canuck cousin's Gold Star while my folks were showing him Buffalo

    Spent ages 11 -16 about 4 miles south of Kohl's dealership - They used to throw me out of the "showroom" (a misnomer if there ever was one) but what I really liked to do was kick in the weeds
