WE BOUGHT A VIRGINIA BARN FULL OF 33 VINTAGE BIKES 

You don't know how lucky you are, with the museum you have , the bikes you find, where you live, you are living the dream

This is My Childhood right here. Great Video! Things were better back in the 70's and 80's. Life Was Great!

My childhood in a garage, great bikes great memories, these are bikes that hooked me into bikes

You guys find the most awesome vintage dirt bikes!

Great looking bikes! Well preserved and pretty clean. Awesome.

That Yamaha IT125 is a very rare bike. I bought a new 1977 IT175 back in the day from Ray Fine Yamaha in Chickasha OK. The whole IT series is just a blast to ride!

Teleported me back to being a kid. Amazing bikes.

Pipe Fix. I have worked on a lot of stuff in my life and I learned that it you do something new the first time, and it comes out good, it is probably a pretty good process. For pipes that are not chromed. I sealed the ends of the pipe and with a tire pump, pumped about 30psi of air into the pipe. Then I simply used a propane torch in one hand, (it was hot enough to move the thin metal, but some may not be.), and a wet rag, neatly folded in the other hand. Heat up the dent. When it starts turning red, it will start to move out, (blow out), but it should be fairly slow. Slow enough to easily stop the movement in it's tracks by wiping the wet rag over it. Just repaint the pipe when you are done. It amazed me how well it turned out the first time I did it, (as a kid), and the only time I did it.

I had a YZ125X when I was a kid, the best bike. Have to watch what you sell this one for. Thanks for sharing

Wow, that is a barnful of real gems. Nice score.

Absolutely awesome seeing all those old bikes coming out of that barn me and the guys when we were younger used to ride around on most of these 😂😊

I'm a Brit living in Newfoundland, Canada, there's a guy here selling an IT465 for $1500CAD, I wish I could afford to buy it and fix it up. Great work Ken, family and friends. Love you guys and God bless you all. Mark

I see that one year only white IT465 and boy I’d love to own that, and every other bike in there wow. Day after day Ken lives my dream, I’d never tire of that life ✌️🇺🇸

Wow!!!!! Hard to believe that these barnfinds are still out here like this. Amazing brother. Your the right person to save this history! Goodluck with them all.

That '79 YZ250 is such a great bike. Nice find, Kap.

I’m in VA Ken and man I can’t tell you the giant smile this put on my face brother!!

I just got my first bike ever! I got my hands on a 93 Yamaha tt600 Belgarde for 2200 euros, can’t wait to finally take it out! Awesome video btw, greets from Germany!

I had an 84 RM 125 can an engine was built by Mac it was 30 over and cut the race gas when he says the bike will haul the mail he's not lying! One of the strongest bikes I've ever owned! 125 or not and I ride a CR 13:53 500af today! One thing about that RM the way my bike was set up there was no lower Med it was all upper Midland High it went ahead it was like a freight train!

What a collection. Got two mine in there 175 and Hannah 250. Brings back great times

Love that RM125. I had the ‘81. My favorite of all time.

Like Christmas ... every barn find . I personally never rode a bike I never enjoyed smile every time . Honda 50 or A zx14 doesn't matter smile every time . Hundreds of bike's later I wait for the next smile . Kaplan keeping the dream alive ..... Nice find

Kan your collection of dirt bikes is awesome Kaplan Cycles God Bless America sir

How cool is this. I would love to have a few of these old bikes.

Loved this video! My hand-me-down bike at age 13 was an '85 IT 200, rode that sucker til the yellow number paint came off the blue plastic!

When i was a kid i loved the way the 81 kx80 had that number plate built into the rear fender!! So Cool..

It was great to see all these oldies. I gotta say i still to this day love the '83 YZ styling,especially the 125 with all the spaces between the parts.Awesome

That '83 KX with the tail number plates, the 125 model is my favourite KX model ever ! I have particular year models I like lol 😅 I had a Motocross book as a kid and it was there doing a Jump and the old Bell Moto 3 type helmet, #AwEsOmE !!

JEEZ Captain Kap, I can't believe how Many of these HOARDS you keep buying! All of them are from my ERA I'm 62 &1/2 I never raced but rode a hell of alot of dirt in my day.

A virtual gold mine. I m glad you found these Ken.

Definitely got a bunch of great history there! Some great machines

Time to go vintage racing!

Always enjoy your videos start to finish just your passion for bikes it’s so good to see ! X

This is awesome! Soon ill be coming to Massachusetts! I cant wait to see this museum and Drawl on myself and bug eye everything!

13:50 You can treat faded plastics with a mixture of lacquer thinner and linseed oil. Brush it on, let soak, repeat, buff/surface-treat, voila. Unyellowed and unfaded. The silhouettes left by the stickers will fade.

vintage bike goldmine! Glad they're all in good hands. Looking forward to some videos on these beauties

Nice haul and so many memories!

Love the Tm I see ! My god some nice bikes. Ken bring me back to 80’s

Cheers kap! Great to see those beauties again .

I can't imagine a more fun time than what you do... That penton won't shift

The IT465 is awesome! Who am I kidding...their All awesome!

Can't wait for the transformation videos to these classic bikes! Great finds, guys 💪👏

On the last Suzuki PE. The main frame looked fine. That was one of the "guard" bars, (welded on the main frame)--that did it's job. :)

Excelent colection.

Thats like Christmas morning, have fun

I’m literally feeling 14 years old watching this!

That Yz175 is awesome! Mine was basically a parts bike. I've been collecting parts for 5 years to finish it. Parts are expensive and rare, especially when it comes to the parts that only fit a yz175, like the pipe, cylinder, head and engine cases. Over $10k spent fast and its not even close to being done. Labor of love!

That's an impressive find!!!

Damn Kappy your killin it! My buddy just picked up a 77 TT500 we had it running in about 3hours wheelining it up my driveway! Its gonna live in my barn now for a time! Motivated me too fix my 83 XL600R just did a 35mile dirt road loop!

That 83 YZ 125 brings back memories😊

Good lord, these videos flood my brain with memories.. I remember the first time I saw the kx with the number plate on the rear fender.. I fell in love..

Im freaking druling...oh the memories...had that PE and was so reliable..

Love those Yammy ring-dings. I had my share of them in the days of my yoot.

I am jealous but in a good way you are brilliant at finding bikes love and respect from England

Lord Those Yamaha Y zingers and Suzuki TMs bring back some very fond memories of racing Motocross and Enduro races in my Youth. Of course I'm paying the price now for the lack of suspension travel. I'd love to buy one of these bikes from You and restore it to ride again

THERE IS A HEAVEN!!!!🎉🎉

Very nice... recognised a few of my old bikes there... some great bikes indeed... Loved seeing the Yamaha's...👍🏼🇳🇿🙂

I'm drooling😢

Wow Extremely blessed 😇

Oh man that ‘83 YZ125😍😍😍 I had two of them that year and it was one of my all time favorite bikes.

Oh my oh my....wowza!

What a barn find!!!

Videos like this shows proof that these bikes are still out there...................somewhere.

top ten sickest collections you guy scored✊🤙

Those air forks of the 76 YZ's, the big canisters on top of the fork legs, were affectionately called "The Speedo/Tach forks" by MXA, as they resembled a speedometer and tachometer on a street bike.

Flashbacks to my childhood. What fun. Thank you

I'm 58 now raced an IT 465 in national enduro in the nineties here in south africa couldnt hang on to one now though the thing was a beast

Vintage bikes are bad to the bone 💪🏻

Wow that's a lot of bikes with a lot of potential

I love this guy! I had that same exact Yamaha 125! Nine was water cooled 1982 or 83 cant remember

How Freakin COOL!Thanks for sharing guys.

Thats a great score. Well done.

Great video amazing bikes love those 74 TM & that penton and all those YZ My first bike was 74 mx 250 my buddy’s had the TMs

Amazing showcase of bikes. I noticed that Ninja ZX-9 in the background. Used to love those bike. Can't wait to watch you take that for a demo ride. I hope you cut up on it a little bit! 😂 👊 ❤

If only I could win the lottery. I'd have a selection of vintage and new 2-stroke dirt bikes and the land to ride them on.

Love the kawis with the rear number plate memory's of some Texas pros flying high

Holly shit i had that it 465 too! Long live the dinosaurs. i love the Kaplan!❤ Some day i will buy a bike off this, guy! Maybe 10! 😂

This collection is THE SHIT!

Great collection...with some care they will all come out mint..

That 83' KX250 is clean! Still looks cool as! Pick of the bunch.

Wow just I think it’s awesome that all the people that really love and joy dirt bikes as much as I do what a collection It reminds me going to small bike owners repair shops In the 1970’s80’s

I absolutely loved my MX175. Sweet sweet motor.

My first dirt bike was a 1974 Suzuki TM 400. What a screamer!
