Barber Vintage Motorcycle Festival - Bought 9 bikes! Will they Run? + Camp Life

We traveled to Leeds, Alabama for the Barber Vintage Motorcycle Festival and ended up bringing home 9 bikes. We enjoyed camping, watching the racing, demo rides, swap meeting, hanging out with friends and riding the motorcycle all weekend!

That dude helped lift the second bike into your pickup. A True Biker.

I bought a moped when I was a 14 year old teenager, 25 dollars, from a friend of mine. It looked new, but no one was trying to get it running because the instructions were in Korean, and all the bolts were metric. This was 1978. I had to figure it out and fix it. Basically replaced plug, changed out sparkplug wire, cleaned up the fuel line. It was fun, had a 2 cycle engine. I drove it all over the place, would show up at family houses and they were surprised to see me riding a moped. They all gave me the "how dangerous a motor bike is" speech, my mother especially, thinking it was like a normal motorcycle, but it only did like 30-35 mph downhill. I would have kept it, but the guy who sold it to me wanted to buy it back since I got it running better. I charged him $35. Well, he pulled a fast one on me, he sold right off to another dude for double what I sold it for. I didn't care, got my money back. Coolest thing about it, the spark plug, wire, and entire expenditdure for gas was under 8 bucks total. Plugs were about a dollar back then, the plug wire was about 2 bucks, 2 cycle oil was about 2 bucks. Gas was 79 cents a gallon. it held a gallon. IT got close to 120 mpg, since it was pedal assist. I replaced some bolts because dude was using vice grips instead of getting some metrics to fit the bolts correctly. I couldn't tell you the brand name on the moped, it was pretty obscure. Like something you would buy in FingerHut catalog or Montgomery Wards way back then. I really want a Vespa. Would be very economical to have it now. Good Luck with all the bikes!

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Thank you! What a story! We enjoyed having it at Barber and riding it around. It’s super light and easy to ride. This one just needed a little fuel to get it going again.

[@inquisitivemind2465]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video and it's a perfect example of how bikers interact, they're all willing to lend a hand or offer up advice to help eachother out.

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Thank you, Barber is one of our favorite events we go.

[@GPgundude]

Your channel is quickly becoming one of my favorite motorcycle channels!! Thank You!!

[@ResurrectedGarage]

[@chubbieracoon___1677]

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Thank you! We remember you guys! Thanks for checking us out.

[@duskintheforest584]

I'd love to attend one year. Got the bike bug at 13 years old, been through dozens of bikes, mostly barn and pasture finds, rescues, but I have purchased three brand new bikes in my time

[@ResurrectedGarage]

It's a great event, if you get the chance to attend its definitely worth the drive. Sweet! That's one of our video wish lists items - to find a motorcycle in the woods or field and bring it back to life again.

[@Canuck_213]

Thanks for sharing. Good luck with the new bikes!

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Thank you!

[@markgabrielson3775]

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Thanks, I will keep that in mind for next year!

[@madogblue]

Great fun and adventures

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Yes it was, we had a blast!

[@richardbillhartz4537]

In 1979 while on sales call for auto test equipment, I spotted an identical green Honda Express in a box at a auto repair shop. The forks were bent as was the frame tube. It had been backed over while parked at curb. I bought it for $35, straightened the forks on a press and notched the frame, rewelded and straightened it. My wife rode it 10K over the years.

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Wow! That worked out to be a good little bike!

[@brianboys9015]

Love the MCs

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Thanks!

[@unclesamsgarage]

Im enjoying the longer weekend adventures videos. Keep up the great work. The race bike is so awesome. It would be cool to set up next to the street bike at your show. to see the differences

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Thank you! The blue one is next to figure out what’s going on with it. I think it’d be a sweet his and hers!

[@willt9172]

Really enjoyed and had fun watching, God Bless and I subscribed! 😎

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Thank you!

[@AlanKoberle-vw7ji]

What a young couple can do with little money and lots of ambition . Keep up the good work and lots of lock. Love the oldsmobile steering on the ford truck 52:02

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Thank you! So far you are the only person that has caught that!

[@sshaw16684]

It’s a Peugeot “poo-joe”. There isn’t a R in the name. That company makes cars in Europe. Looks like y’all had a great time there. Keep up the great work!!!!!

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Thanks!! We almost bought the car a few years back but another guy beat us to it at a show.

[@dionmoore879]

show the Pacer. Back in the day my friends Mom drove one. I always thought it was cool.

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Sweet! I’ll capture it in our next video.

[@charlesyates6687]

I had a yellow pacer . I loved it .

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Sweet! The pacer is next on our "get it running list".

[@DispatchMoto]

Sweet Peugeot! Had a 107 that was a blast and real head turner.

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Thanks! This was one of the coolest things we’ve had.

[@chriscreswell4793]

Just discovered your channel, very cool. I hope to go there next year, looks like alot of good deals.

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Thank you, its one of our favorites. It's worth checking it out if you have a chance to go.

[@jamesonpace726]

Crazy - in the best possible way....

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Yes!

[@1961nuffield]

Nice haul, the Peugeot forks look bent unless it's your lens. Some good projects there!

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Thanks! I don't remember if they were bent or not, we didn't have it very long until it found a new home.

[@RatsAndFunTV]

Congratulations for this Peugeot moped than you catch. Even here in France, it's a bit difficult to found one in the same state.

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Thank you!

I always wanted to Buy my Dream Bike the Bultaco Astro, Finding a Cheap Astro Project is Very hard especially in UK.

[@ResurrectedGarage]

That's a cool dream bike! Hopefully you can come across one at some point!

[@bruceburch8301]

Never been there.but I send lots of parts every year.and a few bikes.selling my collections

[@ResurrectedGarage]

That's neat! It's one of our favorite shows we go to.

[@mrutherford8590]

I have a ex500 and I can’t get spark. I think the igniter box is bad.

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Hopefully you can figure it out, if not perhaps Daniel can run ideas by you.

[@mrutherford8590]

@@ResurrectedGarage I have 3 igniter boxes. I’ll take them to Kawasaki dealer to be tested.

[@robinfowler9477]

yikes, do these have titles?

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Ga doesn’t require titles on anything pre 1986. Just requires a bill of sale.

[@robinfowler9477]

@@ResurrectedGarage ah! good to know!

[@anthonyhill503]

my buddy owns a bunch of these porta jon / shower trailers... He's making a killing

[@ResurrectedGarage]

They are so nice! I can see that. It really makes the event experience so much better.

[@andrewforbes146]

hard to see could ave had a light

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Yes, we had a light but for some reason we weren't using it

[@dustinh4175]

You gotta get a electric pump for the air bed.

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Yes! That would make it so much better!

I'd like to no who you are as I'm looking for cr 500 engin 1989 to 1998 I'm in New Zealand but little help would be nice

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Daniel and Brittany Anderson, we are located in GA in the US. We will try to keep some feelers out, we run across things from time to time.

[@michaelcrosby6071]

Be nice to see the prices on bikes. Slow down

[@ResurrectedGarage]

I didn't think about that when I was shooting the video, will make note of that for next year at Barber.

[@jungleman4921]

Very good except you moved the camera way too fast.

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Thanks, we will try to work on that.

Yea mate , hoarding all the bargains so no one gets a look

[@ResurrectedGarage]

There was lots of good deals still out there, a lot of people made deals on Wednesday and Thursday before we arrived.

[@bobbyverne9714]

Howdy folks! I'm up here in northern Maine and I used to do what y'all are currently doing. Unfortunately, I'm now a disabled Army veteran. I was a Tank commander for many years. I grew up on the family farm and learned about life and how to fix the things in life that make life great! I'll be subscribing and praying for you two! God bless!!

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Thank you and welcome! Wow, very cool! We haven't been to Maine but would love to check it out one day.
