I had one like yours...it may well be near your house by now...wind took it away :(

POS

Did you notice the 7 gallon buckets filled with bricks and water with ratchet straps holding mine down? Yeah. I have had mine for 2 years now and it is worn out. Paint peeling off and lotsa rust and oxidation. Dont rub up against one of those poles or you come off with white powder on you. I am getting ready for a 3rd go around with rope to hold the tarp on the framework. Its better then out in the direct rain but it has developed leaks to to wear of the tarp on the frame joints.

All that shop and nothing cool in it. Few modern cars an RV blah blah. Best thing in there were the two snap on tool chests.

I was thinking the same thing. And $25 just to open and close your garage door??? Id go broke or the cars would stay in the dang bunker all the time. That guy cycled it like 3 or 4 times in that video.

Proves that having money doesn't mean you're not an ***. For the money he spent he could have had a hell of a collection of vintage cars and motorcycles that would actually appreciate in value. 2003 Harley Sportsters ??

I'm with Ed on this except for a Jeep or a couple of Snap On Boxes, he might

as well have more bikes or kids toys (like most Americans) keep in their garage. I mean, he could have some Airflows, or Limo's, etc. maybe even a Packard or two, but alas nothin but modern junk. It looks more like a bomb shelter than anything else. Oh, yeah it had sealed white floors that was impressive.

To each their own I suppose. I started laughing when he was talking about how the subterranean part is natural disaster proof. I was thinking of what a tornado would do to all of his poor bikes.

Fortunately none of the motorcycles, with the exception of the SE drag bikes, are truly rare, special or collectible. It's kinda like building a million dollar art gallery to hold pictures of Elvis on velvet, or those dogs playing poker. The 100 Anniversary bikes were differentiated from the garden variety models only by the silver paint and tank badges. He seems to have collected them and is keeping them as new in the hopes that 100 years from now someone will have a collection of never registered, never run (never enjoyed) motorcycles. By that time internal combustion engines will probably be illegal and they will be mere curiousities. Not my thing but, hey... it's his money.

Well, darn it! Are you telling me all that art I bought was a bad investment!?!?!?!?
