[@mrselk844]

Thanks for your comment, really appreciate it!

[@dgprojects6536]

This is what we need more videos like this, people’s sheds are much more entertaining than anything else. Well done Lana keep them coming.

[@philhawley1219]

Great video, such a varied collection. I'll get in my shed this week to finish my BSA.

[@mrselk844]

Thanks!

[@deanjohnson7350]

Best vid I've watched in years, wish it was longer, brilliant.

[@martinowl]

Absolutely brilliant. What a great selection of machines. Not a trailer queen or not to be ridden show pony in sight. Love the sheds/garages/workshops. I would never be able to find what I wanted, lol. Great to see a lady so knowledgeable & enthusiastic about motorcycles too.

[@mrselk844]

Thanks!

[@SteveBernard42]

Hi Julie and Rick! Hope to see you in highlands again sometime. Best wishes.

[@mrselk844]

Would love to get back up there!

[@user-wv6kr8bd5y]

How good to see a Dunelt! I've only seen the two at Sammy Millers previously. My Grandad used to race a 500 with a chair on and I used to love listening to his tales about bikes when I was small.

[@mrselk844]

Wowser!

[@WildlifeMoto]

Great people, great bikes! Enjoyed this one.

[@mrselk844]

super!

[@johngreenwood1972]

What a wonderful couple and brilliant collection.

Thanks Lana for this video. I could spend hours exploring the bike collection and workshop. And thanks also to Jule and Rick for sharing. Great stuff. Cheers, Dan. ✌️🏍🇨🇦

[@mrselk844]

Thanks! My new-born daughter came home from the hospital in an A10 Combo - parked round the corner so the nurses didn't see us driving off!

[@RUBBERTANK_3]

This was brilliant and bloody funny.

[@DukeDyson]

I've been to several Elk Promotions events, they're always brilliant. Nice to see the driving force behind them and their fabulous collection 🙂

[@mrselk844]

[@zareba9070]

Super miejsce, pozdrawiam z Polski.

[@kopynd1]

shes a walking encyclopaedia and very polite, and a really nice accent, kicked that a10 off no problem, alike them silver hawks any ajs or matchless, a miss all these shed visits theres not many of us left now, most have gone to the shed in the sky, if ever I win a fortune maybe invest in a nursing home for British bike only enthusiasts

[@daveco1270]

That's an impressive collection. And you can tell the bikes get ridden. Julie's a bit of a bad ass.

[@mrselk844]

I'm not Really scarey - honest!

[@daveco1270]

@@mrselk844 I believe you. : ) To me "badass" means someone who's cool/tough/can handle their stuff. Like Steve McQueen.

[@mrselk844]

Wow - I'm really honoured!

Nice motorbikes collection 👌✌️🇨🇿😉

[@mrselk844]

Thanks!

[@trailingarm63]

Good film and a great couple but I'm glad my motorcycle experience began in about 1980. Give me electric start, disk brakes & electronic ignition any day. You can add fuel injection to that now too. My dad had a '50s BSA 500 (B33). He loved it - each to their own.

[@chrisbolton5461]

Some collection.

[@mrselk844]

Thanks

[@skymningforelsket1302]

I wonder what was the first production bike in the world to use enclosed valve gear, re-circulating oil, and foot shift? Well, whatever it is, I'd say those features is truly the leap that makes it daily useful. Probably such a bike could be used as a daily rider today.

[@jofknoll]

a great video well done,a question for julie and rick do they only sell parts at the auto jumbles listed on their web site or do they sell parts elsewhere,im looking for engine parts for a 1923 J.A.P KT v twin,if possible thank you

[@mrselk844]

We do have a stall at various 'jumbles inthe UK, but Don't think I've got any JAP v-twin stuff, sorry..

[@paulcooper5610]

Wow, Henry Cole would have a couple of series worth just looking around their sheds. Nice video lets see more of everyday folks bike collections.

[@hermannhase6243]

I would love to hibernate in those sheds 😂lock me in & don’t let me out for months. I’m sure I could find what I’m missing.

[@mrselk844]

I'd happily lock you in there with some wire wool & brasso!

[@vinnylee878]

That matchless/ajs, have I seen that in Hemel Hempstead town?

[@mrselk844]

Probably not, unless it's escaped & been sloping off on its own!

[@peterrestaino7047]

how do you afford all these rare bikes and all the fees on registration

[@mrselk844]

No registration fees in the UK, in fact the historic vehicles are a cheap option here - no road tax, cheap insurance, no MOT!

[@nicholasjarrold8649]

Hi would you know if Julie and Rick would sell the bsa gold flash 650 my father use to have one in 1960 when I was born and I’ve always thought how nice it’d be to have one he use to take me on it when I was 4 and 5 for a ride sometimes but you never know if you don’t ask bye for now

[@mrselk844]

probably not, I'm a bit sentimental, I've owned it since 1990 and covered well over 100,000 miles on it! Shouldn't. be too difficult to find a nice Gold flash for sale!

[@nicholasjarrold8649]

@@mrselk844 ok thought I’d just ask don’t blame you really hope you enjoy loads more miles on it take care ride safe 👋

What have you done to that poor commando

[@mrselk844]

Think Rick was treating as one of these grown-up colouring books that are so popular - kept him quiet over last winter! It's only a bit of paint LOL!

[@kopynd1]

looks can be deceptive its whats on the inside that counts@@mrselk844

Great video, and what an eclectic collection, please do not disclose the location as the climate change activists will be over there due to the emissions….🤣🤣🤣

Nice bikes but very amateur video. 4 out of 10
