Hello lads.

I was out in California this summer on a photo shoot for work and one of the locations was a microchip factory. I got talking to the owner and eventually we got talking bikes. Then he said he had a 'few' bikes and kept some upstairs and invited me up for a look. What happened next I'll never forget - I'll leave the pix to do the talking

Kawasakis first!








































H****s






Nortons












BSA




Ducatis!




Agustas!






Guzzi






Bimota




Brough Superiors SS100 ($400,000 worth!).A Concours Winner




Steve McQueen’s Indian (with his name on the V5! Who knows what its worth…




Miscellaneous and ‘Pre-War’ steeds…




















Some genuine GP Helmets in there




And some F1 - including a signed Senna!




Every bike was 100% original and mint - other than the customs and racers of course. Hope you enjoyed. This was less than half the bikes he had in that room. He has more at home. Loads more Ductai, Suzuki and H****s and Triumphs. His Kwack collections was nuts tho - I only shot about half of them. Notice no Harleys. Good taste for a yank right?

Damn.

That was my actual face when we exited the elevator lol.

I forgot to add - he rides ALL OF THEM regularly. Even the $400K Brough! It is California...

He doesn't ride the McQueen Indian and one other Royal Enfield which has 1.8 miles on the clock!

I'd say there was easily $3-4mill of bikes up there...

Great pics

Beyond Words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

great way to spend you hard earned.....

I like the 1000 conversion to the triple with the extra cylinder, was it a Millyard one?

Must be lotsa money in microchips.

WTF - Amazing

Brilliant photos of a brilliant collection thanks for posting.

Steve
