Apparently, he holds a great sentiment for those three decades dedicated to devoted bike hoarding and even expressed a desire about the future owners, as can be seen in his further commentary: \u201cI would finally be rewarded for all these years of collecting, maintaining and storing if they could be seen on the road again in all its glory!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-145950\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/01\/s-l16002.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The collection sells worldwide, but be prepared to pick it up yourself, as he doesn\u2019t offer any means of transportation, but he\u2019s apparently very communicative and, due to an alleged massive amount of inquiries, is working on a catalogue of all these bikes, including brands and condition.
