Unfortunately,I didn't have a camera crew documenting this or a spacious van to haul some of this home,but I did take a few pictures showing this long closed shop near Rochester,MN in 2007.Theres nothing like knowing you are the first person inside for many years.
It was a great and diverse group of stuff-mostly "motor related" in nature.An old metal Cadillac boat with tailfins,old cars,minibikes,bicycles,snomobiles,parts...you name it.
This is where the Harley horsehide jackets came from,as well as a dozen or more Harley parts manuals,minibike paperwork and NOS parts.
You don't come across places like this much anymore.

Any of the motor cycles or car parts for sale?
There might be.But for all I know,the building may be razed by now,as this was over 4 years ago.
If you go back, give me a call, I will even bring the refreshments. How's some Winter Ale sound.
