Of course you have, everybody has, to the point where it kind of gets annoying when you hear it for the 110th time. Well, this auction of a long closed Honda dealer in Greenfield, IA is the next best thing.

You see, the Frizell brothers ran a farm machinery shop in Iowa for years, and in 1965 they added Honda motorcycles to the inventory because the little bikes were becoming hugely popular. When they decided to retire in the 1980s the task of selling off all the inventory, and also not having a shop to work on stuff seemed like a big hassle. So they didn't. The doors were locked one day with the pictures on the walls and all the parts and bikes still inside—until now.

Of course, you're going to want the matching NOS Hondaline helmet that goes with them, right?
