What would you do if you came across this?
Tucked away in Lockport, New York is a building housing a huge collection of abandoned motorcycles. It’s like every enthusiast’s dream come true, to stumble across a collection of vintage bikes which have sat undisturbed for a long time. There is floor after floor of complete motorcycles, engines, gas tanks, and many other parts scattered throughout the rooms like bodies strewn across a battlefield. Some of the bikes left behind could be worth small fortunes, yet they’ve just sat alone, gathering dust and rust.

Discovered by YouTuber Chris Luckhardt before YouTube was a big thing, the man explored this treasure trove without taking or disturbing anything. It’s almost like he’s an archeologist carefully documenting a situation born out of motorcycle culture, something which none of us might ever experience firsthand.
Being careful while exploring the collection was necessary. As you’ll see in the video, the building which is an old warehouse has literally fallen into disrepair. Holes have opened up int the floors, spilling motorcycles and parts below. Sections of the walls have also collapsed. It’s not only a tomb for bikes but could easily become the final resting spot for humans if they aren’t careful.
The natural thing to wonder every time you com across any barn find motorcycle situation like this is how did so many bikes get gathered into one location? And why would anyone just leave these iron steeds to rot after making the considerable effort to bring them together under one roof?
