Actually not a bad price. There are supposed to be over 100 motorcycles and I saw a lot of Indians, HDs, Nortons, BSAs, and Triumphs.  At $299000 that averages at less than $300 each and that isn't counting the parts and other stuff.
Honestly it is a deal if you have the money laying around and they all run.

Wouldn't $300,000 divided by 100 motorcycles $3000 each?  Still may not be a bad deal including the parts and business.

your right holubs its 3000 each , if classic bike prices in the states are rising like they are here in england it could still be a very good deal , better investment than money in the bank and much more interesting !

This has me thinking back to a bike trip I took in 1981 with three friends.  We had planned on visiting a friend of one of our little troop, Fred in Rapid City, on our way out West.  It was very hot so we spent the afternoon sitting in a creek in a city park drinking a case of beer.  Later Fred took us to his friend who had this unbelievable collection of motorcycles.  It filled a large pole barn and consisted of large numbers of HD's and Indians.  I remember a bunch of British stuff too including a few Ariel Square 4's. I don't remember how many but more than 100 bikes many in good running condition, others still as they were found.  One HD had a large bush growing up through and intertwined with the bike.  The bush had been cut off at the ground and there the bike sat in the corner, shrubbery and all.  No museum just this guy's barn full of bikes.  I wonder if it is the same guy who took the best of his collection for this museum?
