As the title states... HOLY SHIT! Im a new guy here, but I know a score when I see one. I was out for a cruise on the sporty after messing with my non running barn find xs....

I came across this older guy at warehouse, he had some bike parts..... we started to talk:
How long you been here?
-Not long, only 30 years...

What kinda parts you got in there?
-you wanna see?
YUP!

-I stayed away for the Harley stuff, I was afraid it would all be "HOT".
- So I collected all the foreign stuff.........

I felt like I was on American Pickers.

It was a really good day for a ride and shit luck I stumbled upon this random nice guy who was willing to show me his stash. He is over it... and wants to sell the building... I wish I was from a rich family!

Oh and he has some (a ton) of cool old complete bikes just chillen! he wants like 700 for this yamaha... It may be worth a look!

We have a place like that near where I live. The only problem is that the prices are like buying new parts!

Im still such a newb Im not even sure what to look for, I just love older stuff. I think me and this guy are going to be good friends! I told him he can have all my old stock bike parts... he seemed excited.

So you got all the foreign stuff or you just took pictures of it? Interested in a tank if you have it or can go back.

There is a guy like that close by me the only problem is he only has cb500/550 stuff, but plenty of it

That's the Old Bike Barn in Auburn, Right? Sure looks like it.

I could ask what he wants for the tank if you tell me what one it is... I told him I'd post the pics to the Xs forum and people would prob want to buy some stuff. I'm just happy I met the dude. Seems really cool, older guy but happy to shoot th breeze.

Ask him if he has a James Cadet gas tank...I would definitely be interested.
