No sports cars, a bunch of motorcycles that never get ridden.

It looks like the elevator is too narrow for the motorhome to fit.

Call me cynical, but . . . . . .

At the end of the videos they use the elevator to bring the motorhome downstairs. The host also mentioned in the comments that his expensive car collection had been moved prior

Nice garages but the collection is meh! Unless he has more cars hidden somewhere the 10 million he must have spent was wasted and could have gone to better cars and motorcycles.

I'll bet the chicks he impresses with the motorcycle collection don't get ridden either.

Don't you need to run the engines to keep them in working order? Won't the random seals and what not go bad just sitting?

Seems dumb.

the tree & boulder is a nice touch


the cheap way to do this is to just bid on the next aircraft carrier we decommission - strip the elevators out and then sell off the rest of it to Thailand or somebody

I had a buddy who did the same thing, didn't take him as long to sell it, but he hated it so much he sold it at a loss..

i sold mine at a huge loss. i do miss having a harley though. had a sport bike after that that i loved but always missed cruising around in comfort and that rumble was nice

if i was collecting motorcycles with that kind of money it certainly wouldnt be that model and year. what is that guy thinking. and he still has the dealer tags on em..hahah. what a nut

Horse Hockey, just because the guy made a lot of money, you want to punish him by seizing what HE EARNED. Better for him to be SPENDING it, like he has and what he wants (even if the didn't make the best choice on Bikes, maybe after SPENDING all that money on the garage, he didn't have enough left for really cool cars & bikes) and you can be pretty sure his property tax bill isn't cheap either..

Yea, $10K isn't a lot in the collectors market, if it were me, it would be old Indians...

I've seen 5 threads on this today. The guy says it's an elevator from a carrier.

A better part of the story is where he bought a 4 house compound with 5 bedrooms each. So he sold a software company. He paid his taxes would be my guess.
