Just sat with a constant smile on my face for 22 minutes but also getting quite emotional at the same time. I started my biking journey back in 1976 when I was 16 and my grandad lent me the money for a yellow and black fizzy, and I’m still biking today, thanks for the trip down memory lane. Fantastic collection.

Great collection! Ive always been of the opinion that there's many a good tune played on an old fiddle! Lots of these bikes will give your newer bikes(full of rider aids etc) a good run for their money! A good ole pal of mine was born 1935 and he still regularly rides, ATM he has a BMW 1250r. He claims to have had at least half these bikes. He's been single for 25 years plus and his bikes are his replacement for a human partner as he explains to me. He usually part ex's for a different bike, nearly every year & using this method has gone through mostly every bike he has ever fancied. I'm 35 yrs his junior & started to try a similar method about 2 years ago. Ive had quite a few in this line up. Although I don't have as much disposable cash as he has nor am as mechanically skilled, but still I have been gradually flipping through most of my favorite bikes(mainly street legal racers). Ive realized as long as you try to buy bikes that haven't been too molested, stick to close to original as possible & as long as you aren't losing money when you sell you will have enough to get your next bike & wont go far wrong. Although I got a Yamaha Fz1s Fazer 1000 2010 atm I tend to go for pre 2000 bikes that are generally appreciating in value. It greatly helps to do as much of your own work on the bikes as possible to save cash & time. I'm on my 21st so far since 2020 though already had many of my top 10 favorite bikes. My 1st bought at start of lock-down was a Srad 750 Telefonica replica, I bought in 2020 & still remains IMO right up there at the top somewhere n just bought another 100% original Srad 750. Also had a barn find 1987 Gsxr400 I paid partly to be restored professionally last summer n even sold for a few hundred profit! The 400 apparently gave the high revving 2 strokes a good run their money at the time and I still have a thing for 2 stroke road bikes. Had a Kh500 2 stroke 'Widow maker' in the 90s although if i can afford one Im hoping of finding a project Rg500 at some stage though imagine paying 5 figure sum!

Similar story to mine, in 1978 i was at friends house and in the garden under some tarpaulin was a Casal 50 (very similar to the fizzy) it was a non-runner and my friends Dad sold it to me for £25, my Dad found out it was a broken piston ring, replaced it and tuned it just before my 16th birthday. Little story, one day i was at the traffic lights on my Casal and a lad pulled up next to me on what looked like a brand new Suzuki TS50ER, this lad (proper knob) was being overboard with being smug, revving his engine, laughing, egging me on for a race, anyway the lights changed and i left him way behind, he obviously didn't know that my Casal was unrestricted and could do 46mph, one over inflated ego burst, made my day though.

@ biker Nazi I have not heard the term (fizzy) before. Would like to learn. I got a 1972 Yamaha jt1 60 black and yellow mini enduro ( in 1972 when I was 12 ) my mom payed the first $25.00 then I paid the rest of the $320.00 from my paper route. I wish I had done better in school so I could afford a collection like this .

Unreal collection of bikes, thanks for showing all them. Lee the bike in question at 7:59 is an Excelsior Consort 98cc two stroke with a Villiers 4F engine and a two speed gearbox, 1953 model going by what I see on it. I started off on the road with a Fizzy running on Castrol R30, I would be a RGV, TZR, RD type man but I restore and ride old BSA's, Triumphs, and Nortons as well, keeps you on your toes remembering gear lever is on the right and brake lever on the left.

I saw this collection back in July - amazing ! The owner hadn’t finished the new building so most of these were in his house. It was an absolute pleasure being shown this collection. The owner made me laugh, I asked “ do you have an RGV 250” he said “no I have 4”. Mega collection and a brilliant chap with some stores 👍 great to see all the bikes together in one collection. Great video thanks

Thanks for posting this. Like my life flashing before my eyes, literally! Personal highlights were the black Yam 250 LC. Bought a 350 just like that brand new in '81. And the Suzuki GT750 kettles. Pestered my brother to take me out on the back of his mate's one for a year or two in the 70s. Finally did when I was about 15. Can still remember exactly how good that felt. Spotted a Barry Sheene helmet too, my hero in the 70s.

I think everyone gets a "tingle" when they see a mint example of a bike that they used to thrash back in the day. A bike that gained rust, blow up or was crashed. But like a dream its standing there! Your FIRST bike is probably the most emotional to see.

The Yamsel is what you think, a Seeley frame( made famous by Colin Seeley) back in the seventies, John Cooper beat Agostini 's MV on a 350 Yamsel, all fitted with 350/250 TZ motors.Handling was much improved with these frames. Seeley also framed the 500 singles , ie G50 Matchless. Out of pure racing interest checkout Peter Williams Arter Matchless, its a real beauty, notably the first racing bike fitted with cast wheels, which was quite unique back in the 1970's.

Thanks for the look , a older man lived down the road from me had the water cooled suzuki when i was 14 and i thought that was the coolest thing. Seeing the Honda 750-4s took me on the wayback when i was younger that was the first time i saw disk breaks on a bike. Now I ride a Goldwing ... or as my brother calls it a Geezer Glide , cause I am 58, but I have had some super bikes in my day ,Gsxr,fzr,and my favorite was a Vrf, love my hondas , but as long as you are riding , lets go. On my bucket list is to come to the TT . Thanks from West Virginia , if you ever come to the states ,lets ride ,

Excelsior.....(X sell see ur) mate......'Bout as old as me that one...lol....Passed my test on an Enfield Crusader Sport in 1966 and moved straight on to a 650 6T Triumph Thunderbird uprated to T110 spec.......Looked like a really nice T120 Bonneville next to that Triumph scrambler you mentioned....Fabulous collection Lee, thanks for letting us in on it, great to bring so many memories back for an old fart like myself.....Thank you....Malc

The white Triumph scrambler in your vid is a 1966 650cc Twin Triumph T120 TT, colours are Alaskan White and Grenadier Red and the rest of the parts are black, around just 1300 bikes made in 66 for the US market and the C or later named TT was only made from 63-67. I restored one a few years back for myself and there is a vid on my page if you would like to hear how nice they sound.

No probs Lee, Su n me gave up sports bikes a few years back but still follow the bike racing as it's in our blood lol just the old Triumphs now, we have 8 in total and ride them all as much as we can. Have a great year and can't wait for the first races of the year to start :-)

@@Leejohnston I'm not a youtube wizard but I think the best would be, if time allows, making a shorter (around 5 mins) walkaround video without commentary first and Christie doing editing magic and then making a longer one with you talking about anything that comes to mind while walking around. I think there's a high demand for rambling Lee!

@@Leejohnston FYI I reckon you're a bit taller than Warwick too! - I don't think you'd find a better displayed collection of bikes in a more impressive environment. Love the Yer Maun wall art work. Funny old world when someone has all this, and of course they can spend their own wealth on anything of their own choosing, but others can't even afford to put the heating on. Does it smell of bikes, rubber and oil in there?
