1
00:00:01,601 --> 00:00:02,334
Jack: Check this out.
2
00:00:02,403 --> 00:00:04,536
Jack: This is the mobile
recording truck.
3
00:00:04,738 --> 00:00:05,870
Danielle: Stop it right now.
4
00:00:05,939 --> 00:00:09,074
Mike: Wow.
Danielle: Are you kidding me?!
5
00:00:09,276 --> 00:00:10,876
Mike: You're always getting
into something cool as hell.
6
00:00:10,945 --> 00:00:13,478
Jack: You hear rumors
of things like this.
7
00:00:13,547 --> 00:00:14,813
How there was a recording truck
that's one of those
mythological things
8
00:00:14,882 --> 00:00:16,015
That maybe didn't even
really exist.
9
00:00:16,217 --> 00:00:19,350
Bill: It recorded bob seger's
live bullet, kiss alive!
10
00:00:19,420 --> 00:00:20,285
Mike: Really?
11
00:00:20,488 --> 00:00:21,886
(crowd cheering)
12
00:00:21,955 --> 00:00:23,689
Jack: Our hope now
is to make it a working
13
00:00:23,757 --> 00:00:24,756
Recording studio
on wheels again.
14
00:00:24,825 --> 00:00:26,291
Mike: But what do you
want us to do?
15
00:00:26,494 --> 00:00:27,959
Bill: Well...
16
00:00:28,029 --> 00:00:29,627
Jack: There was a trailer
attached to this truck.
17
00:00:29,696 --> 00:00:30,762
Jack: And they made a walkway
18
00:00:30,831 --> 00:00:32,163
Between the two,
so they could go back...
19
00:00:32,232 --> 00:00:34,299
Mike: Oh, like a little dog run?
Jack: ...Extra tape machine,
20
00:00:34,502 --> 00:00:35,300
Generator, so...
21
00:00:35,369 --> 00:00:36,635
Bill: So it's a vital
part of this thing.
22
00:00:36,703 --> 00:00:37,969
But don't know where it is.
23
00:00:38,039 --> 00:00:39,571
And that's why we were
getting ahold of you guys.
24
00:00:39,639 --> 00:00:40,505
Jack: Can we find that?
25
00:00:40,574 --> 00:00:41,773
Mike: Oh, you're looking
for this specific one.
26
00:00:41,842 --> 00:00:42,774
Jack: Yes.
Bill: It's custom-made.
27
00:00:42,843 --> 00:00:44,643
Danielle: So there's
only one of them.
28
00:00:44,712 --> 00:00:46,111
Jack: It may not exist anymore.
29
00:00:46,179 --> 00:00:47,312
Mike: That's a tall order, dude,
to be honest with ya.
30
00:00:47,381 --> 00:00:50,448
Jack: We had dealt with mike
and antique archaeology before,
31
00:00:50,517 --> 00:00:52,918
So I knew that he would
understand the beauty
of this truck on its own.
32
00:00:52,987 --> 00:00:54,920
Mike: Alright man, let's do it.
Jack: Alright.
33
00:00:54,988 --> 00:00:55,454
Danielle: My brain's already
like, ch-ch-ch-!
34
00:00:55,523 --> 00:00:57,790
Mike: I think jack knows
35
00:00:57,992 --> 00:00:59,791
That this is really
a shot-in-the-dark.
36
00:00:59,860 --> 00:01:02,261
Danielle: Hey, bill,
how're you doing?
37
00:01:02,329 --> 00:01:05,864
Bill: I found a handwritten
sales receipt from about 2005,
38
00:01:05,932 --> 00:01:06,998
And it's got a lady's
name on it.
39
00:01:07,067 --> 00:01:09,400
Danielle: Holy cow!
Alright, this is fantastic.
40
00:01:09,470 --> 00:01:12,071
Bill: I mean who knows,
maybe this lady's still got it,
you know?
41
00:01:12,273 --> 00:01:15,140
Danielle: This isn't by any
chance janie ambrose, is it?
42
00:01:15,209 --> 00:01:18,010
Janie: Yes!
Danielle: Oh, I've been
looking for you.
43
00:01:21,415 --> 00:01:23,882
(upbeat music)
44
00:01:23,951 --> 00:01:26,484
Robbie: We are in the middle
of florida here.
45
00:01:26,553 --> 00:01:27,886
Diamond dave: Mm-hmm.
46
00:01:27,955 --> 00:01:29,554
Robbie: Dude, I cannot
believe that danielle
47
00:01:29,623 --> 00:01:30,956
Tracked this trailer down.
48
00:01:31,024 --> 00:01:33,024
If we can confirm
that this is the trailer...
49
00:01:33,093 --> 00:01:35,160
Diamond dave: Yeah.
Robbie: It's gonna be amazing.
50
00:01:35,362 --> 00:01:38,029
Robbie: Dave has worked for
my brother for over 10 years.
51
00:01:38,099 --> 00:01:40,231
He's kind of like
a swiss army knife, you know,
52
00:01:40,300 --> 00:01:43,235
You can put him on rebuilding
an engine, fixing a fender,
53
00:01:43,304 --> 00:01:45,970
But then I can send him across
country to go pick up something.
54
00:01:46,039 --> 00:01:48,373
You know what?
I'm going to need him today.
55
00:01:48,576 --> 00:01:51,443
Robbie: No wonder nobody
wants to be down here
in the summer months, man.
56
00:01:51,645 --> 00:01:52,978
It's so freakin' hot!
57
00:01:53,046 --> 00:01:54,580
Robbie: God, danielle
can't friggin' send me
58
00:01:54,648 --> 00:01:55,013
Some place that's cool?
59
00:01:58,852 --> 00:02:00,852
Mike: It's 50 degrees
here, man.
60
00:02:00,921 --> 00:02:02,787
(laughing)
mike: It's 50 degrees here.
61
00:02:02,856 --> 00:02:04,990
It's nice and cool
this time of year.
62
00:02:05,059 --> 00:02:06,858
Danielle: So, we're going
to go see a gal named liz.
63
00:02:06,927 --> 00:02:09,060
It's her father's collection.
Mike: Okay.
64
00:02:09,129 --> 00:02:11,597
Danielle: Her father did pass
within the last year,
65
00:02:11,799 --> 00:02:12,864
So there's a lot
of moving parts.
66
00:02:12,933 --> 00:02:14,666
And they're trying
to clear out properties
67
00:02:14,735 --> 00:02:16,068
And trying to move stuff along.
68
00:02:16,136 --> 00:02:17,736
Mike: Okay.
Danielle: He lived right
on the lake.
69
00:02:17,938 --> 00:02:18,937
Mike: What kind of stuff
does he have?
70
00:02:19,006 --> 00:02:20,539
Danielle: Well, I mean,
he's got automotive,
71
00:02:20,741 --> 00:02:21,806
He's got mostly motorcycles.
72
00:02:21,876 --> 00:02:23,942
1930s, right around there.
Mike: Yeah?
73
00:02:24,011 --> 00:02:25,810
Mike: What do you mean,
like indians and harley?
74
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,145
Danielle: Indians, yeah.
Mike: He does!?
75
00:02:27,214 --> 00:02:28,880
Mike: You've been holding this
information this whole time.
76
00:02:28,949 --> 00:02:30,148
Danielle: I'm a wealth
of information.
77
00:02:30,217 --> 00:02:32,150
Mike: Indians and harleys,
and you didn't tell me about it.
78
00:02:32,219 --> 00:02:33,752
Danielle: If I had told you
about those motorcycles earlier,
79
00:02:33,954 --> 00:02:35,753
You wouldn't have shut up
the entire ride.
80
00:02:35,822 --> 00:02:37,089
Mike: You're right,
I wouldn't have.
81
00:02:37,291 --> 00:02:39,024
Danielle: ...Nothing but those
motorcycles the entire ride.
82
00:02:39,092 --> 00:02:40,759
Mike: It'd give me something
to look forward to!
83
00:02:40,828 --> 00:02:42,761
Danielle: You get
to hang out with me,
84
00:02:42,830 --> 00:02:43,762
What else do you
want to look forward to?
85
00:02:43,964 --> 00:02:45,630
Danielle: That's every
person's dream.
86
00:02:45,699 --> 00:02:46,765
Robbie: I think it's right here.
87
00:02:46,834 --> 00:02:48,233
Here's the photo,
right here, I see--
88
00:02:48,301 --> 00:02:50,235
Robbie: There it is,
right there,
there's the trailer, man!
89
00:02:50,304 --> 00:02:53,005
Diamond dave: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Robbie: Alright, let's do this.
90
00:02:54,508 --> 00:02:56,008
(knocks on door)
91
00:02:57,778 --> 00:02:59,778
Robbie: Janie?
Janie: Hello, yes.
92
00:02:59,980 --> 00:03:00,712
Robbie: How're you doing?
I'm rob wolfe,
93
00:03:00,914 --> 00:03:02,781
You talk to danielle
on the phone?
94
00:03:02,850 --> 00:03:03,982
Janie: Oh, oh yes,
about the trailer?
95
00:03:04,051 --> 00:03:05,116
Robbie: Yeah, and I'm excited
to see this thing.
96
00:03:05,185 --> 00:03:07,119
Janie: Oh, oh wow.
Robbie: This is my buddy, dave.
97
00:03:07,321 --> 00:03:09,187
Diamond dave: Nice to meet you.
Janie: Hi, nice to meet you.
98
00:03:09,256 --> 00:03:11,924
Robbie: He's kind of the muscle,
I brought him for just this.
99
00:03:12,126 --> 00:03:13,792
Diamond dave: Let's see what
happens though, huh.
100
00:03:13,994 --> 00:03:14,859
Janie: Okay, yeah,
it's right over here.
101
00:03:14,928 --> 00:03:16,995
Robbie: How long have you
had this thing?
102
00:03:17,064 --> 00:03:17,930
Janie: Oh, it's been sitting
here about 10 years,
103
00:03:18,132 --> 00:03:21,733
But I got it in about 2005
from pennsylvania.
104
00:03:21,802 --> 00:03:23,335
Robbie: And what'd you
use it for?
105
00:03:23,404 --> 00:03:27,072
Janie: Hauling my stuff
from pennsylvania,
moving here to florida.
106
00:03:27,140 --> 00:03:28,807
Robbie: This is it, this thing?
Janie: Here it is.
107
00:03:28,876 --> 00:03:30,475
Yeah, I'm excited
to get it outta here.
108
00:03:30,544 --> 00:03:31,677
Robbie: What?! Wow.
109
00:03:31,879 --> 00:03:34,413
Robbie: This thing does not look
like the pictures, at all.
110
00:03:34,481 --> 00:03:38,417
Robbie: Wow.
Janie: Yeah, it's been sitting
here quite a long time...
111
00:03:38,485 --> 00:03:38,984
Robbie: Holy cow.
112
00:03:40,487 --> 00:03:42,988
(keyboard clicking)
113
00:03:51,365 --> 00:03:54,699
Mike: The front yard
of all these places
is basically lake huron.
114
00:03:54,768 --> 00:03:56,501
Danielle: Massive,
massive backyard
115
00:03:56,704 --> 00:03:58,770
And lake huron front yard.
116
00:03:58,972 --> 00:04:00,705
Mike: Yeah. Wow,
what a beautiful place.
117
00:04:00,774 --> 00:04:02,640
Danielle: Right?
Look at that view.
118
00:04:02,709 --> 00:04:03,908
(honks horn)
mike: Hey-hey!
119
00:04:03,978 --> 00:04:05,710
Elizabeth: Hey.
Joel: Hey, how're you doing?
120
00:04:05,779 --> 00:04:06,845
Mike: You liz?
Elizabeth: Yes.
121
00:04:06,914 --> 00:04:08,113
Mike: Hey, I'm mike.
Elizabeth: Hi, mike.
122
00:04:08,315 --> 00:04:09,781
Mike: Nice to meet you. Hello.
Danielle: How're you doing?
123
00:04:09,849 --> 00:04:11,316
Mike: This is dani.
Joel: Joel.
124
00:04:11,518 --> 00:04:14,052
Danielle: Good to meet ya.
Elizabeth: I talked to
dani on the phone.
125
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,787
Danielle: Good to meet you,
finally, in person, huh?
126
00:04:15,856 --> 00:04:18,056
Elizabeth: I went
to a lot of car shows,
127
00:04:18,124 --> 00:04:21,793
Which were really boring
for a little girl to go to,
128
00:04:21,861 --> 00:04:23,861
But when I spent time
with my dad,
129
00:04:23,930 --> 00:04:27,065
It was usually doing
something like that.
130
00:04:27,134 --> 00:04:29,467
Mike: Your father was an antique
motorcycle collector?
131
00:04:29,536 --> 00:04:30,869
Elizabeth: Yes, yes.
132
00:04:30,937 --> 00:04:32,003
Mike: Did he go
to the davenport meet?
133
00:04:32,072 --> 00:04:34,072
Do you know if he ever went
to davenport, iowa?
134
00:04:34,140 --> 00:04:36,007
Elizabeth: He drug me around
when I was a little kid.
135
00:04:36,076 --> 00:04:37,942
Mike: Okay. Oh, you went
on all the treasure hunts?
136
00:04:38,012 --> 00:04:40,745
Elizabeth: I went on
the treasure hunts, I did.
137
00:04:40,814 --> 00:04:41,746
Mike: Very cool.
Elizabeth: So, yeah.
138
00:04:41,815 --> 00:04:43,882
Elizabeth: I grew up
in a garage.
139
00:04:44,084 --> 00:04:45,950
I learned early to get
the longest screwdriver,
140
00:04:46,020 --> 00:04:50,688
Because I had to stick it
in the choke of the car
141
00:04:50,757 --> 00:04:51,889
When he was trying
to start it.
142
00:04:51,958 --> 00:04:54,826
Elizabeth: He made me know
a lot of things
143
00:04:54,895 --> 00:04:57,429
That a lot of girls don't know.
(laughs)
144
00:04:57,497 --> 00:05:00,899
Elizabeth: It's not every day
there's a motorcycle
in the den, but...
145
00:05:00,967 --> 00:05:02,768
Mike: Oh my gosh!
Elizabeth: We've got one!
146
00:05:02,836 --> 00:05:03,702
Mike: I love the way
he's living.
147
00:05:03,770 --> 00:05:04,569
Danielle: Yeah...
Mike: Whoa!
148
00:05:04,772 --> 00:05:07,238
Mike: This is unbelievable,
149
00:05:07,307 --> 00:05:08,907
That the first thing you see
when you walk in a dude's house
150
00:05:08,975 --> 00:05:11,777
Is a skirted 4-cylinder
with a sidecar,
151
00:05:11,979 --> 00:05:12,844
Sitting right there
in front of you.
152
00:05:13,046 --> 00:05:15,113
Mike: I've got eight
motorcycles in my house.
153
00:05:15,182 --> 00:05:17,449
Elizabeth: Oh my gosh.
Mike: So it's cool to see this.
154
00:05:17,517 --> 00:05:20,185
Mike: You want to surround
yourself with the things
that you love.
155
00:05:20,387 --> 00:05:23,588
And it doesn't matter how big
they are, you're going to do it.
156
00:05:23,657 --> 00:05:24,923
Mike: It's an inline 4-cylinder,
157
00:05:24,991 --> 00:05:26,725
And then you've got
these skirted fenders.
158
00:05:26,927 --> 00:05:27,925
It sounds and looks
like a locomotive
159
00:05:27,994 --> 00:05:29,528
Going down the road, you know?
Elizabeth: Yeah.
160
00:05:29,730 --> 00:05:33,131
Mike: Up to this point,
there had been a number
of american inline 4-cylinders
161
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,135
On the road. Brands like ace,
cleveland, henderson.
162
00:05:37,204 --> 00:05:41,806
But when indian started
skirting their fenders in 1940,
163
00:05:41,875 --> 00:05:43,608
Dropping that fender
to the side
164
00:05:43,677 --> 00:05:45,944
With that sexy airflow line,
165
00:05:46,146 --> 00:05:48,880
That streamline look,
that was a game changer.
166
00:05:48,949 --> 00:05:49,881
Mike: So how long has
this been in here?
167
00:05:49,950 --> 00:05:52,951
Elizabeth: About 20 years.
Mike: No kidding!
168
00:05:53,020 --> 00:05:54,485
Joel: Easily, yep.
Mike: Did he ride this, ever?
169
00:05:54,554 --> 00:05:55,754
Elizabeth & joel: Yes.
170
00:05:55,822 --> 00:05:56,555
Elizabeth: I rode
in the sidecar.
171
00:05:56,623 --> 00:05:58,757
And I don't recommend it.
172
00:05:58,959 --> 00:06:00,292
Mike: Yeah? That's
a gorgeous sidecar.
173
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,495
Those indian sidecars
are getting harder
and harder to find.
174
00:06:03,563 --> 00:06:04,830
Did he restore this?
175
00:06:04,898 --> 00:06:07,899
Elizabeth: Yeah.
This one came in pieces.
176
00:06:07,968 --> 00:06:09,033
Mike: So he built this
from what, an engine?
177
00:06:09,102 --> 00:06:12,503
Elizabeth: Yeah. It was
literally a piece of rust.
178
00:06:12,572 --> 00:06:13,905
He rebuilt everything,
179
00:06:13,974 --> 00:06:16,708
And he would search out
the original parts.
180
00:06:16,777 --> 00:06:17,442
Elizabeth: He worked
at chrysler.
181
00:06:17,644 --> 00:06:19,778
He did the paint line,
182
00:06:19,846 --> 00:06:21,846
He worked in
the marine division,
183
00:06:21,915 --> 00:06:24,583
And he did some
of the machinist work.
184
00:06:24,651 --> 00:06:26,784
It was a good job for him.
185
00:06:26,853 --> 00:06:27,786
Mike: Did he do
the engine on this?
186
00:06:27,855 --> 00:06:29,788
Elizabeth: I believe so.
Mike: No kidding.
187
00:06:29,856 --> 00:06:30,788
It's got a hydraulic
front end on it.
188
00:06:30,857 --> 00:06:32,190
It's got a telescopic
front end on it.
189
00:06:32,259 --> 00:06:36,194
Elizabeth: Yeah.
Mike: Indian didn't do this
until the '50s.
190
00:06:36,262 --> 00:06:38,596
Mike: The front fork on this
bike is a telescopic front end
191
00:06:38,665 --> 00:06:39,998
Off of an indian from the 1950s.
192
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:45,203
Mike: They stopped building
the 4-cylinder in 1942.
193
00:06:45,405 --> 00:06:47,806
Mike: Okay, so this would
have had a leaf spring
front end on it.
194
00:06:47,875 --> 00:06:49,808
So he wanted to make it
more comfortable
195
00:06:49,877 --> 00:06:51,810
And maybe sit
more upright on the bike.
196
00:06:51,878 --> 00:06:53,812
Mike: I know what
he's trying to do.
197
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,947
He was building this
bike as a rider.
198
00:06:56,015 --> 00:06:57,949
It wasn't something that
was period-correct.
199
00:06:58,017 --> 00:07:00,351
Mike: And he's also laid
this piece of metal
200
00:07:00,421 --> 00:07:04,889
Over the side to make
this look like the side
of the tank is chrome.
201
00:07:04,958 --> 00:07:06,758
Mike: This is probably
stainless or something
202
00:07:06,827 --> 00:07:07,758
That he's put on the side
of the tank
203
00:07:07,828 --> 00:07:10,362
To bring a different
element to it.
204
00:07:10,430 --> 00:07:13,698
Elizabeth: Yeah.
Mike: I mean, this is no
museum-quality restoration.
205
00:07:13,767 --> 00:07:17,302
This was lovingly restored
in a way
206
00:07:17,371 --> 00:07:19,971
To where you didn't have
to worry about putting it
through the paces.
207
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,441
Elizabeth: He wasn't meticulous
about some things
208
00:07:22,643 --> 00:07:25,643
Being 100% authentic.
209
00:07:25,712 --> 00:07:27,846
He did it to where it was his.
210
00:07:27,915 --> 00:07:29,247
Joel: He did.
Elizabeth: He made it his.
211
00:07:29,316 --> 00:07:31,650
Mike: Have you guys
decided what you're going
to do with this?
212
00:07:31,852 --> 00:07:33,518
(sighs)
elizabeth: We're probably
213
00:07:33,587 --> 00:07:34,585
Going to have to sell it.
214
00:07:34,654 --> 00:07:36,855
Joel: Yeah.
Mike: Okay.
215
00:07:37,057 --> 00:07:39,591
Elizabeth: We're going
to be moving eventually.
216
00:07:39,660 --> 00:07:40,725
So we have to pick and choose
217
00:07:40,928 --> 00:07:42,594
What we can and cannot
take with us.
218
00:07:42,796 --> 00:07:44,062
Mike: Mm-hmm.
Elizabeth: So...
219
00:07:44,264 --> 00:07:45,796
Mike: If the bike was built
to period with a leaf spring
220
00:07:45,866 --> 00:07:47,532
Front end on it,
just had a little bit
221
00:07:47,734 --> 00:07:49,601
Of a different restoration,
222
00:07:49,670 --> 00:07:52,136
It can bring as much as $65,000.
223
00:07:52,206 --> 00:07:54,539
Elizabeth: Nice.
Mike: But it also depends
on how it runs.
224
00:07:54,608 --> 00:07:56,808
Because to do this engine,
225
00:07:56,876 --> 00:07:58,477
A 4-cylinder engine,
to rebuild it,
226
00:07:58,679 --> 00:08:00,879
Is a minimum of 25 grand.
227
00:08:01,081 --> 00:08:03,814
And then a lot of people
get blown away by that
228
00:08:03,884 --> 00:08:05,550
Because it's only
a 4-cylinder engine.
229
00:08:05,619 --> 00:08:07,018
Elizabeth: Right.
(laughs)
230
00:08:07,087 --> 00:08:08,487
Mike: But the guys that do it,
that's what they do,
231
00:08:08,689 --> 00:08:10,889
And they specialize in it.
232
00:08:11,091 --> 00:08:12,891
Mike: I'm completely
interested in this bike.
233
00:08:13,093 --> 00:08:15,026
But we literally just
walked in the door.
234
00:08:15,228 --> 00:08:17,829
And elizabeth has mentioned
that he has other bikes.
235
00:08:18,031 --> 00:08:20,164
So I'm just going to kind of
step back
236
00:08:20,234 --> 00:08:22,767
And take it all in before
I pull the trigger on anything.
237
00:08:22,836 --> 00:08:23,835
Mike: This is a pretty
cool piece.
238
00:08:24,037 --> 00:08:26,437
This would have been
like a bar top piece.
239
00:08:26,507 --> 00:08:27,706
It tested your grip.
240
00:08:27,908 --> 00:08:28,773
Mike: This is a trade
stimulator,
241
00:08:28,842 --> 00:08:30,709
And it's the perfect
one for any bar.
242
00:08:30,777 --> 00:08:31,910
It was something for you to do,
243
00:08:31,978 --> 00:08:33,778
It was a little competition
in the room.
244
00:08:33,847 --> 00:08:35,980
Maybe everybody
would circle around,
245
00:08:36,049 --> 00:08:37,649
Dropping coins in this thing,
drinking beers.
246
00:08:37,718 --> 00:08:39,718
The longer you were in the bar,
247
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:40,852
The more money
you were going to spend.
248
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,922
And you could walk away
as a champion.
249
00:08:43,990 --> 00:08:44,923
Mike: Oh, he's even
got a penny in there.
250
00:08:45,125 --> 00:08:47,725
Joel: There you go.
Mike: Let's see if it works.
251
00:08:47,794 --> 00:08:50,729
No. It's not
releasing anything.
252
00:08:50,797 --> 00:08:51,796
I think basically
what he did was,
253
00:08:51,865 --> 00:08:53,932
He just cleaned it up
the best he could
254
00:08:54,001 --> 00:08:55,467
And maybe he was gonna
get to it or something.
255
00:08:55,669 --> 00:08:56,801
Elizabeth: Right. Yeah.
256
00:08:57,004 --> 00:08:58,937
Mike: This is worth like,
300, 350 bucks.
257
00:08:59,139 --> 00:09:01,205
I mean, obviously a little
bit more if it worked.
258
00:09:01,274 --> 00:09:03,874
Elizabeth: Right.
Mike: Like 2-and-a-quarter,
I'd do that.
259
00:09:03,944 --> 00:09:05,209
Elizabeth: Sure.
Mike: You want to do that?
260
00:09:05,278 --> 00:09:06,477
Elizabeth: Yep, I'll do that.
Mike: Okay, I appreciate you.
261
00:09:06,547 --> 00:09:07,746
Alright, man, thank you.
262
00:09:07,948 --> 00:09:09,881
Danielle: Now we got
to get it fixed
263
00:09:10,083 --> 00:09:10,882
So we can see how strong
you actually are, right?
264
00:09:10,950 --> 00:09:12,984
Mike: I know, right?
I know, I love it.
265
00:09:15,088 --> 00:09:17,888
Robbie: So you had it
sitting here for 10 years.
266
00:09:17,958 --> 00:09:18,756
Janie: Yes.
Diamond dave: When you got this,
267
00:09:18,825 --> 00:09:20,758
Did you paint it
or do anything to it?
268
00:09:20,827 --> 00:09:22,160
Janie: Yeah, I painted
it years ago.
269
00:09:22,362 --> 00:09:24,563
Diamond dave: What color was it
under the white, could you tell?
270
00:09:24,765 --> 00:09:27,165
Janie: I believe it was white.
271
00:09:27,233 --> 00:09:29,768
Yeah, there's a little bit
of color... Underneath of it.
272
00:09:29,970 --> 00:09:31,235
Robbie: There's some
yellow right here.
273
00:09:31,304 --> 00:09:32,904
Robbie: This thing does not
look like the pictures, at all.
274
00:09:32,972 --> 00:09:35,440
It's got a tree
growing up against it.
275
00:09:35,508 --> 00:09:39,110
The axle looks like
it's never even been
moved off this property.
276
00:09:39,312 --> 00:09:43,047
But it is the right size,
and it's from the right era.
277
00:09:43,116 --> 00:09:44,849
Robbie: Can we look inside it?
Can I see what's inside?
278
00:09:44,918 --> 00:09:46,584
Janie: Yeah, sure.
Robbie: I want to look
279
00:09:46,653 --> 00:09:49,387
At what we're dealing with.
280
00:09:49,456 --> 00:09:50,788
Robbie: Hoo! Wow.
281
00:09:50,857 --> 00:09:52,190
Janie: Yeah, it's kind
of rough shape.
282
00:09:52,392 --> 00:09:55,994
I had someone help me
redo the floors
and some of the walls.
283
00:09:56,063 --> 00:09:58,729
There was actually like
carpet on the walls and...
284
00:09:58,798 --> 00:09:59,597
Robbie: Was it like,
shag carpet?
285
00:09:59,666 --> 00:10:02,867
Janie: Yeah.
Robbie: Wow...
286
00:10:03,070 --> 00:10:04,002
Diamond dave: That "qp" means
"quiet, please."
287
00:10:04,071 --> 00:10:07,205
There'd be no reason
to have a "quiet, please" sign
288
00:10:07,273 --> 00:10:10,275
In a trailer, unless it was
used for some sort of recording.
289
00:10:10,343 --> 00:10:12,744
Robbie: The outside of this
thing looks like it's trashed.
290
00:10:12,946 --> 00:10:15,213
But the inside,
it had a purpose.
291
00:10:15,281 --> 00:10:18,616
Robbie: This door opens up,
and connects to the front truck.
292
00:10:18,685 --> 00:10:21,219
Diamond dave: Okay, so there's
like a little transition
bridge into that main truck.
293
00:10:21,287 --> 00:10:23,421
Robbie: Into the main truck.
Diamond dave: A regular trailer
294
00:10:23,490 --> 00:10:25,957
Is not going to have
two doors right around
the corner from each other.
295
00:10:26,159 --> 00:10:28,159
So having that door
in the front that would actually
296
00:10:28,227 --> 00:10:31,629
Connect to the main rig
was a big piece to that puzzle.
297
00:10:31,698 --> 00:10:33,164
Robbie: This is the trailer.
298
00:10:33,233 --> 00:10:34,899
Diamond dave: That is so cool.
Robbie: It's so crazy, man.
299
00:10:35,102 --> 00:10:37,835
Can you imagine lynyrd skynyrd
on set recording?
300
00:10:37,904 --> 00:10:39,970
Robbie: You're sitting
here like this.
301
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:41,105
Diamond dave: Yeah.
Robbie: It's in bad shape.
302
00:10:41,174 --> 00:10:43,974
But the fact of the matter is,
it connects to the truck.
303
00:10:44,044 --> 00:10:47,712
And that's why third man
records needs this piece.
304
00:10:47,914 --> 00:10:48,780
Diamond dave: This
is the real deal.
305
00:10:48,982 --> 00:10:50,048
Robbie: This is
rock 'n' roll history.
306
00:10:50,117 --> 00:10:51,983
Robbie: Man, you're sitting
in freakin' royalty here.
307
00:10:59,259 --> 00:11:00,858
Mike: Can you see ships
out here every once in a while?
308
00:11:00,927 --> 00:11:02,727
Elizabeth: Every once
in a while, you can.
309
00:11:02,795 --> 00:11:03,995
Mike: Very cool.
It's beautiful.
310
00:11:04,197 --> 00:11:06,397
Mike: The american dream
looks different to everybody.
311
00:11:06,466 --> 00:11:08,400
And this was his.
312
00:11:08,602 --> 00:11:09,534
Danielle: Holy cow!
313
00:11:09,602 --> 00:11:10,735
Mike: Look at that view,
he's got that big view,
314
00:11:10,804 --> 00:11:12,603
He's got the diving
helmets here.
315
00:11:12,673 --> 00:11:14,405
Mike: He's looking at the water.
316
00:11:14,474 --> 00:11:16,207
Have you guys thought
about what you're doing
with the diving helmets?
317
00:11:16,276 --> 00:11:18,009
Elizabeth: I'm pretty sure
we could let
a couple of them go.
318
00:11:18,211 --> 00:11:19,811
Mike: I look at something
like this and I think about
319
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,213
20,000 leagues under the sea,
you know?
320
00:11:22,281 --> 00:11:25,016
Danielle: It's like, art meets
industry, kind of, you know?
321
00:11:25,084 --> 00:11:26,551
Joel: Absolutely.
Mike: What about this one, dani?
322
00:11:26,753 --> 00:11:28,419
Danielle: Let me take a look.
323
00:11:28,488 --> 00:11:30,888
Danielle: I knew there were
gonna be diving helmets
on this pick,
324
00:11:30,957 --> 00:11:32,557
So I did a little
research ahead of time.
325
00:11:32,759 --> 00:11:33,891
Danielle: Everyone wants one,
326
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,426
But they're really hard
to find out about,
327
00:11:35,495 --> 00:11:38,496
Because there's only a couple
of people who really
have that information.
328
00:11:38,565 --> 00:11:39,897
Leon...
Mike: Yeah.
329
00:11:39,966 --> 00:11:41,899
Danielle: In florida.
Mike: He's the man.
330
00:11:41,968 --> 00:11:42,967
Mike: Dani said that
you wrote a book on...
331
00:11:43,170 --> 00:11:44,902
Leon: On diving helmets.
Mike: ...On diving helmets.
332
00:11:44,971 --> 00:11:47,038
And she said it's like,
literally the bible.
333
00:11:47,106 --> 00:11:49,107
Danielle: So I reached out
to leon ahead of time.
334
00:11:49,309 --> 00:11:51,509
He taught me what to look for,
to know if it's functional,
335
00:11:51,578 --> 00:11:53,178
And to know the value.
336
00:11:53,246 --> 00:11:54,979
Mike: A couple of these
look like they're reproduction.
337
00:11:55,182 --> 00:11:56,181
Danielle: Geez louise...
Mike: These two right here.
338
00:11:56,383 --> 00:11:58,249
Elizabeth: Yeah.
Danielle: The way that
you can tell
339
00:11:58,317 --> 00:12:01,652
If it's a reproduction normally,
is the screws won't move.
340
00:12:01,721 --> 00:12:04,923
Or the fittings aren't right,
341
00:12:04,991 --> 00:12:07,592
Or the color's just
a little too good,
342
00:12:07,661 --> 00:12:08,860
Or there's no pitting in it.
343
00:12:09,062 --> 00:12:10,995
Elizabeth: He just liked them
for the looks.
344
00:12:11,198 --> 00:12:12,597
Mike: Yeah, absolutely.
That's what it's all about.
345
00:12:12,799 --> 00:12:13,798
Mike: Heck yeah.
Elizabeth: Yeah.
346
00:12:13,867 --> 00:12:15,600
Mike: What about this one?
Danielle: Ooh, you got it.
347
00:12:15,668 --> 00:12:16,600
I believe this is russian.
348
00:12:16,669 --> 00:12:18,736
I think this one will retail
349
00:12:18,805 --> 00:12:19,737
For right around
1,400 in the shop.
350
00:12:19,806 --> 00:12:21,873
Mike: What are you
thinking on it?
351
00:12:21,942 --> 00:12:23,741
Elizabeth: 8?
Danielle: I think 8's fair.
352
00:12:23,810 --> 00:12:25,610
For sure.
Mike: It's very cool.
353
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:26,744
Look at that one, that's cool.
354
00:12:26,813 --> 00:12:27,879
Danielle: This is
a japanese one.
355
00:12:27,947 --> 00:12:30,148
This toa? This is
the best one of the lot.
356
00:12:30,217 --> 00:12:33,551
That one's going to go for
maybe around 2,500 at the shop.
357
00:12:33,753 --> 00:12:34,686
Elizabeth: What do you think?
358
00:12:34,754 --> 00:12:36,154
Mike: I don't know, like 1,800?
359
00:12:36,222 --> 00:12:37,955
Elizabeth: I think we could
do that, I think we're good.
360
00:12:38,024 --> 00:12:40,158
Mike: Okay. What about
this one, what is this?
361
00:12:40,226 --> 00:12:42,761
Danielle: This is chinese.
This one would be like 1,400.
362
00:12:42,963 --> 00:12:45,096
We did 800 on the other
one that was 14.
363
00:12:45,164 --> 00:12:46,764
How's that work for you?
Elizabeth: I'm fine with that.
364
00:12:46,833 --> 00:12:48,767
Danielle: Yeah? Sweet.
Mike: Okay.
365
00:12:48,969 --> 00:12:50,434
Mike: I think they're
brilliant, man.
366
00:12:50,504 --> 00:12:51,769
Joel: The real deal.
367
00:12:51,838 --> 00:12:54,172
Mike: I got to ask about
the moto-meters.
368
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:55,773
Mike: So you know what these
are, right? As far as like,
369
00:12:55,842 --> 00:12:57,842
I mean, they're
the radiator cap,
370
00:12:58,044 --> 00:12:58,909
But they're also
telling you the temperature.
371
00:12:58,978 --> 00:13:01,512
Elizabeth: Right.
And there's not many girls
372
00:13:01,581 --> 00:13:02,913
That know that, but I do.
373
00:13:02,982 --> 00:13:04,783
Mike: I'm sure you do,
he taught you well.
374
00:13:04,985 --> 00:13:05,717
Mike: He taught you well.
Elizabeth: Yeah.
375
00:13:05,919 --> 00:13:08,520
Mike: Everything
was so beautiful.
376
00:13:08,722 --> 00:13:10,855
There was so much design,
377
00:13:10,923 --> 00:13:11,723
There was so much effort
and thought
378
00:13:11,925 --> 00:13:14,659
Put into making
things functional
379
00:13:14,861 --> 00:13:17,061
But making them
bad-to-the-bone.
380
00:13:17,130 --> 00:13:19,397
Elizabeth: He made the little
display things for them,
381
00:13:19,466 --> 00:13:21,799
As he bought them.
382
00:13:21,868 --> 00:13:22,667
Mike: He grew up in
a time period
383
00:13:22,869 --> 00:13:24,536
When these cars
were on the road,
384
00:13:24,738 --> 00:13:26,604
Cars that used moto-meters.
385
00:13:26,672 --> 00:13:28,806
Yes, they were older cars,
386
00:13:28,875 --> 00:13:29,741
But he would have
lived through that.
387
00:13:29,943 --> 00:13:32,543
Elizabeth: His grandpa's
car had them.
388
00:13:32,612 --> 00:13:34,612
His dad's car had them.
389
00:13:34,681 --> 00:13:36,814
Elizabeth: He started collecting
390
00:13:36,883 --> 00:13:38,682
When he was probably
four years old.
391
00:13:38,751 --> 00:13:39,951
Mike: Really.
Elizabeth: Yes.
392
00:13:40,019 --> 00:13:44,222
His grandpa would load him up
in the wagon,
393
00:13:44,290 --> 00:13:47,892
And they would walk out
two or three miles
to the junkyard.
394
00:13:47,961 --> 00:13:51,095
And my dad would say
that it would be so hard
395
00:13:51,298 --> 00:13:54,566
Because they would get all
their treasures into the wagon,
396
00:13:54,768 --> 00:13:56,701
And little four-year-old bill
397
00:13:56,903 --> 00:13:58,836
Would have to walk
all the way back.
398
00:13:58,905 --> 00:14:00,839
Because there was no room
in the wagon.
399
00:14:01,041 --> 00:14:03,040
Mike: That's what we used
to do as kids too.
400
00:14:03,109 --> 00:14:05,176
We'd walk the railroad tracks
down to the junkyard,
401
00:14:05,244 --> 00:14:07,912
Hop the fence, and just look
around at all the old cars.
402
00:14:08,114 --> 00:14:11,048
I mean, these things were
like dinosaurs to us.
403
00:14:11,117 --> 00:14:12,783
Mike: I've never seen so many
of them in one place.
404
00:14:12,853 --> 00:14:14,786
Joel: That's true, yes.
Elizabeth: Yeah.
405
00:14:14,854 --> 00:14:16,053
Mike: This is a lifelong
collection.
406
00:14:16,122 --> 00:14:19,523
Mike: It's unbelievable
that he collected so many,
407
00:14:19,592 --> 00:14:20,792
That he found so many.
408
00:14:20,860 --> 00:14:21,859
Mike: There's 42
of them right here.
409
00:14:21,928 --> 00:14:23,794
Joel: Wow.
Mike: Some are very simple,
410
00:14:23,863 --> 00:14:25,997
And then others
are very elaborate.
411
00:14:26,065 --> 00:14:28,466
Mike: Most of these here
are in the retail range
412
00:14:28,668 --> 00:14:30,802
From $200 to $300 apiece.
413
00:14:30,870 --> 00:14:32,937
If you wanted to
sell all of them...
414
00:14:33,006 --> 00:14:34,872
Mike: I'd be a player possibly
on all of them.
415
00:14:34,941 --> 00:14:36,540
Elizabeth: Okay.
Mike: I'd feel comfortable
416
00:14:36,610 --> 00:14:39,410
Like 150 apiece, you know.
417
00:14:39,612 --> 00:14:41,079
That would be 6,300.
418
00:14:41,147 --> 00:14:43,614
Elizabeth: I think that would
be fair, don't you?
419
00:14:43,683 --> 00:14:44,749
Joel: I think that's fair, yeah.
420
00:14:44,951 --> 00:14:46,017
Elizabeth: Get them into
somebody's house
421
00:14:46,086 --> 00:14:48,619
That looks at them and adores
them like my dad did.
422
00:14:48,688 --> 00:14:49,988
Mike: Oh my gosh, absolutely.
423
00:14:54,027 --> 00:14:56,027
Robbie: Janie, do you know
the history on this?
424
00:14:56,095 --> 00:14:58,162
Janie: Someone told me that
they made some music
425
00:14:58,230 --> 00:15:01,366
Or something out of it,
but that's all I knew about it.
426
00:15:01,434 --> 00:15:04,235
Robbie: Believe it or not,
this was a piece
of rock 'n' roll history.
427
00:15:04,437 --> 00:15:07,638
Diamond dave: The truck
and trailer together
were a mobile rig.
428
00:15:07,707 --> 00:15:09,574
And any big band in the '70s
429
00:15:09,776 --> 00:15:12,443
Like bob seger, isaac hayes...
430
00:15:12,511 --> 00:15:13,578
Robbie: Kiss...
431
00:15:13,780 --> 00:15:15,646
Diamond dave: Everybody recorded
432
00:15:15,715 --> 00:15:17,048
Live albums with this. Yeah.
433
00:15:17,250 --> 00:15:20,051
Janie: I was just like amazed,
I'm like, I had no idea
434
00:15:20,119 --> 00:15:22,987
That all these famous people
were affiliated with it.
435
00:15:28,995 --> 00:15:30,794
Robbie: Have you ever
had an offer on this?
436
00:15:30,863 --> 00:15:31,929
Janie: Yeah, a couple
of years ago,
437
00:15:31,998 --> 00:15:33,931
Someone offered me like
a couple of thousand.
438
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,934
And at the time, I had this
full of stuff,
439
00:15:37,003 --> 00:15:37,935
And I would have to get
a shed or something.
440
00:15:38,004 --> 00:15:39,870
Robbie: Right.
Janie: That wasn't enough money
441
00:15:39,939 --> 00:15:41,405
To like, get something
else to put it in.
442
00:15:41,474 --> 00:15:44,942
Robbie: Looking at it,
it doesn't look like
anything that special.
443
00:15:45,011 --> 00:15:46,945
But the fact that
the history is there.
444
00:15:47,147 --> 00:15:50,148
Third man records
will pay for that history.
445
00:15:50,350 --> 00:15:53,951
They want this piece to connect
it to the original truck.
446
00:15:54,020 --> 00:15:56,688
Robbie: What would it take
to buy this today?
447
00:15:56,890 --> 00:15:58,956
For me to haul it
out of here today?
448
00:15:59,025 --> 00:16:01,993
Janie: Uh, I would
at least like 5,000 for it.
449
00:16:04,630 --> 00:16:07,898
Robbie: It's in a little more
rough shape than I thought
it was going to be in.
450
00:16:07,967 --> 00:16:09,233
Look at the roof, man,
it's like, loose...
451
00:16:09,302 --> 00:16:11,169
Diamond dave: Yeah.
Robbie: And the back,
look at this...
452
00:16:11,237 --> 00:16:12,903
Diamond dave: Oh yeah. You can
see-- don't jump too hard.
453
00:16:12,973 --> 00:16:15,106
Robbie: I already know,
that's what I said.
454
00:16:15,308 --> 00:16:16,374
Diamond dave: The back end
of that's gonna come right out.
455
00:16:16,443 --> 00:16:18,642
Robbie: There's no way in heck
I'm towing this thing home.
456
00:16:18,712 --> 00:16:19,977
The tires are rotted off of it,
457
00:16:20,046 --> 00:16:21,979
The brakes aren't working,
there's no lights on it.
458
00:16:22,048 --> 00:16:24,916
It would probably fall
apart on the highway.
459
00:16:24,984 --> 00:16:26,717
Robbie: I've driven
trailers behind me,
460
00:16:26,786 --> 00:16:27,985
And the whole top
come off of it.
461
00:16:28,054 --> 00:16:29,454
Diamond dave: I believe it,
and this would be a good
462
00:16:29,522 --> 00:16:33,390
Candidate for that.
But I think some of the mold
is holding it on.
463
00:16:33,459 --> 00:16:36,727
Robbie: I can deal with
two flat tires,
but all four flat tires...
464
00:16:36,796 --> 00:16:38,863
Robbie: What we're gonna have
to do is we're gonna have
to put this on a flatbed.
465
00:16:39,065 --> 00:16:41,132
Tell me how we'll get
it on the trailer, dave.
466
00:16:41,334 --> 00:16:43,001
Diamond dave: This is beyond--
robbie: I thought I was gonna
467
00:16:43,203 --> 00:16:44,535
Winch this up on the trailer,
it's not gonna happen.
468
00:16:44,603 --> 00:16:46,804
Diamond dave: No, I thought
so too. But I knew
when you invited me
469
00:16:46,872 --> 00:16:47,204
To come that it probably
wasn't easy.
470
00:16:47,273 --> 00:16:48,673
(laughs)
471
00:16:48,741 --> 00:16:50,941
It's always something like this.
472
00:16:51,011 --> 00:16:52,744
Robbie: I know I told you
the history behind it
473
00:16:52,946 --> 00:16:54,278
And I know you're excited
about that,
474
00:16:54,347 --> 00:16:57,748
But at the same time,
it's going to take some
restoration here.
475
00:16:57,817 --> 00:17:01,619
I'd like to be
at like 3,500 on it.
476
00:17:01,688 --> 00:17:04,222
I mean, it's all
about condition.
477
00:17:04,424 --> 00:17:07,992
Janie: Would you be will...
I'd be happy if you
could give me 4.
478
00:17:09,362 --> 00:17:10,995
Robbie: 4.
479
00:17:12,832 --> 00:17:13,898
I'll tell you what,
I'm doing it.
480
00:17:13,966 --> 00:17:16,167
4,000. I'm gonna do it.
Janie: Alright.
481
00:17:16,235 --> 00:17:17,701
Robbie: We'll have to figure out
how to get it out of here.
482
00:17:17,770 --> 00:17:19,570
All we need is
a rollback, dave.
483
00:17:19,772 --> 00:17:20,771
Let me make some phone calls.
484
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:22,707
Robbie: Let's do it.
Get on the horn.
485
00:17:22,775 --> 00:17:24,842
(laughs)
robbie: Get on the horn.
486
00:17:24,910 --> 00:17:25,843
Mike: What's going on with
this pump?
487
00:17:25,912 --> 00:17:27,912
Is this something you guys
might sell?
488
00:17:27,981 --> 00:17:29,714
This is a pretty common
pump made by wayne.
489
00:17:29,916 --> 00:17:32,516
The globe on the top
is reproduction.
490
00:17:32,585 --> 00:17:34,986
And then he's branded it.
491
00:17:35,054 --> 00:17:38,856
Elizabeth: The pump has
been there since 1990.
492
00:17:38,924 --> 00:17:42,126
He wired it so it
would light up at night.
493
00:17:42,328 --> 00:17:45,796
Elizabeth: That's the coolest
porch light you could ever have.
494
00:17:45,865 --> 00:17:47,131
Mike: The skin's pretty
decent on it.
495
00:17:47,199 --> 00:17:48,666
I mean, it's nice that
it's got the original cylinder.
496
00:17:48,868 --> 00:17:50,935
Joel: True, those
are always broke.
497
00:17:51,137 --> 00:17:52,203
Elizabeth: I just noticed
those numbers on there.
498
00:17:52,271 --> 00:17:53,804
Mike: Yeah. I think I can
get a couple of grand out of it.
499
00:17:53,873 --> 00:17:55,940
I'd be in it for like,
1,400 bucks.
500
00:17:56,009 --> 00:17:57,542
Joel: That was higher
than what I was thinking.
501
00:17:57,610 --> 00:17:59,610
Mike: Okay.
(laughs)
502
00:17:59,679 --> 00:18:01,478
Mike: Argh! Hey, thank you.
503
00:18:01,547 --> 00:18:04,948
Danielle: No one wants
to move a pump around all day,
mike wolfe, nobody.
504
00:18:05,017 --> 00:18:06,551
Mike: You're going to help
me load it, right?
505
00:18:06,753 --> 00:18:07,351
Joel: I guess, I'm right here.
506
00:18:07,554 --> 00:18:08,552
Danielle: Even if they say
they do,
507
00:18:08,621 --> 00:18:08,986
They don't really want to.
508
00:18:15,761 --> 00:18:16,760
Mike: Dani! Look at this green!
509
00:18:16,830 --> 00:18:19,430
Danielle: It's amazing.
Mike: Yeah.
510
00:18:19,498 --> 00:18:22,300
Mike: Indians are some
of the most beautiful
motorcycles in the world.
511
00:18:22,502 --> 00:18:23,901
Mike: It's 1934.
512
00:18:23,970 --> 00:18:25,970
Mike: So have you ever
heard this bike run?
513
00:18:26,038 --> 00:18:27,972
Elizabeth: I have.
But it's been a long time.
514
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:29,573
Mike: It's been a long time?
Elizabeth: Yes.
515
00:18:29,642 --> 00:18:30,908
Danielle: Oh, she's pretty.
516
00:18:30,976 --> 00:18:33,044
Mike: Yeah, the tanks
are pretty crusty.
517
00:18:33,112 --> 00:18:35,580
Mike: Indian motorcycle
company started in 1901.
518
00:18:35,648 --> 00:18:37,915
Harley started in 1903.
519
00:18:38,117 --> 00:18:40,852
Both of these companies
made very few bikes.
520
00:18:41,054 --> 00:18:42,786
Mike: But indian is considered
the first
521
00:18:42,856 --> 00:18:44,922
American motorcycle
manufacturer.
522
00:18:44,990 --> 00:18:49,259
By 1904, indian was
making 500 bikes.
523
00:18:49,328 --> 00:18:51,795
By 1913,
524
00:18:51,864 --> 00:18:53,263
They were making
like 32,000 bikes.
525
00:18:53,332 --> 00:18:55,065
By 1920,
526
00:18:55,135 --> 00:18:57,534
They were the largest
manufacturer of motorcycles
527
00:18:57,603 --> 00:18:59,537
In the united states.
528
00:18:59,739 --> 00:19:00,671
Mike: This was a big chief.
529
00:19:00,740 --> 00:19:03,874
This was a 74 cubic-inch
big bike.
530
00:19:03,943 --> 00:19:05,409
They made a scout
that was right below it.
531
00:19:05,478 --> 00:19:06,744
Mike: In 1922,
532
00:19:06,946 --> 00:19:09,947
They introduced
the indian chief.
533
00:19:10,016 --> 00:19:12,616
And each year, it got
better and better.
534
00:19:12,685 --> 00:19:13,618
Mike: Let's sit on this thing.
535
00:19:13,686 --> 00:19:16,687
Mike: This is a 1934 chief.
536
00:19:16,755 --> 00:19:17,821
Mike: It's a good-looking bike.
537
00:19:17,890 --> 00:19:20,892
This was the bike
to have back in the day.
538
00:19:21,094 --> 00:19:25,095
It's really difficult
to find a pre-war indian.
539
00:19:25,165 --> 00:19:26,830
Mike: You know, something that
doesn't have skirts on it.
540
00:19:26,900 --> 00:19:28,432
Elizabeth: Mm-hmm.
Mike: You know, the '46,
541
00:19:28,500 --> 00:19:29,833
The '47, the '48,
542
00:19:29,902 --> 00:19:32,570
99% of the time,
if you see an old indian,
543
00:19:32,638 --> 00:19:34,171
It's those three years.
544
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,107
You know, and that's the iconic
years, the skirted indians.
545
00:19:37,177 --> 00:19:39,042
Mike: But a lot of guys like
stuff from this time period,
546
00:19:39,111 --> 00:19:41,846
Because it's more of a deco
time period, you know.
547
00:19:42,048 --> 00:19:44,048
Mike: These are streamline,
they're deco.
548
00:19:44,117 --> 00:19:46,918
There's a lot of hardcore
indian collectors out there
549
00:19:47,120 --> 00:19:50,521
That consider this
the golden age of the company.
550
00:19:50,723 --> 00:19:51,589
Mike: This is an accessory,
551
00:19:51,791 --> 00:19:53,724
This speedometer
was an accessory
552
00:19:53,926 --> 00:19:54,592
And it actually says
"indian" on it.
553
00:19:54,661 --> 00:19:56,460
It's got the jewel light here.
554
00:19:56,528 --> 00:19:58,129
It's done up, man.
555
00:19:58,331 --> 00:20:00,998
But unfortunately,
the restoration's not
that great on it.
556
00:20:01,067 --> 00:20:02,934
Mike: I love these bikes
so much, I'm looking beyond
557
00:20:03,136 --> 00:20:04,868
The type of restoration
that's been done to it.
558
00:20:04,938 --> 00:20:07,271
I mean, but this is
a rider's restoration.
559
00:20:07,339 --> 00:20:09,673
Mike: Yeah, look how
heavy-handed this
pinstripe is, feel that.
560
00:20:09,742 --> 00:20:11,608
Mike: This isn't
really pinstripe.
561
00:20:11,677 --> 00:20:14,011
When I feel it, that's tape
562
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,614
That's been wrapped
over the fender on the sides
563
00:20:16,682 --> 00:20:18,215
And on the tank and stuff.
564
00:20:18,284 --> 00:20:20,952
Mike: God, I'd love to be able
to hear some of this stuff run.
565
00:20:21,154 --> 00:20:23,821
Joel: I know.
Mike: I wish I could
hear it run,
566
00:20:23,889 --> 00:20:25,823
But that's not
going to happen today.
567
00:20:25,891 --> 00:20:27,558
Mike: Hmm. Washer fell
off something.
568
00:20:27,626 --> 00:20:30,094
Elizabeth: Oh...
(laughs)
569
00:20:30,162 --> 00:20:33,497
Mike: I kicked the bike,
and the kicker almost falls off.
570
00:20:33,700 --> 00:20:34,966
(laughs)
so, but you know,
571
00:20:35,168 --> 00:20:36,900
It's like, they just
haven't been ridden in years.
572
00:20:36,970 --> 00:20:38,835
Mike: Okay. Oh, you got
another one up here.
573
00:20:38,904 --> 00:20:41,505
Joel: Yep, yeah.
Mike: And there's a 1937,
574
00:20:41,574 --> 00:20:43,707
With a goulding sidecar.
575
00:20:43,776 --> 00:20:44,841
Mike: Look at that
sidecar, dani.
576
00:20:44,910 --> 00:20:45,843
Danielle: Oh!
Joel: Yeah, look at that.
577
00:20:45,911 --> 00:20:47,244
Mike: That's like
a rocket ship, man.
578
00:20:47,313 --> 00:20:48,846
(laughs)
579
00:20:49,048 --> 00:20:49,714
Mike: Goulding makes some
of the most
580
00:20:49,782 --> 00:20:51,181
Beautiful sidecars out there.
581
00:20:51,251 --> 00:20:54,719
I mean, it looks like a rocket
ship going down the road.
582
00:20:54,921 --> 00:20:55,452
Mike: See this leaf
spring front end?
583
00:20:55,521 --> 00:20:57,455
Joel & danielle: Yeah.
584
00:20:57,523 --> 00:20:58,990
Mike: That's what would've been
correct on the 4-cylinder
in the house.
585
00:20:59,192 --> 00:21:01,992
Mike: And this has got
the soup can speedo on it too.
586
00:21:02,061 --> 00:21:03,994
This fender light is wrong,
this headlight is wrong.
587
00:21:04,063 --> 00:21:06,596
Mike: Now the '37's
got the wrong tanks on it,
588
00:21:06,666 --> 00:21:08,466
They look like 1946 tanks.
589
00:21:08,668 --> 00:21:09,666
It's got a vl exhaust,
590
00:21:09,735 --> 00:21:11,668
It's got the wrong headlight,
591
00:21:11,737 --> 00:21:13,337
It's got the wrong air cleaner.
592
00:21:13,406 --> 00:21:16,807
It's got like a 1940s
truck signal light
on the front fender.
593
00:21:16,875 --> 00:21:18,875
But man, this thing
is still cool!
594
00:21:18,944 --> 00:21:22,680
You know, because it exists,
it's there.
595
00:21:22,748 --> 00:21:24,081
Mike: I mean, again, you know,
596
00:21:24,150 --> 00:21:26,417
Somebody was restoring
the bike the way that
they liked it, you know.
597
00:21:26,485 --> 00:21:27,484
Elizabeth: Right.
598
00:21:27,553 --> 00:21:28,819
Mike: Can't hear it run,
can't shift it, can't ride it.
599
00:21:28,887 --> 00:21:30,887
But usually when you find
a motorcycle
600
00:21:30,956 --> 00:21:33,090
From this time period,
it's a basket-case.
601
00:21:33,158 --> 00:21:35,359
It's missing tons of parts,
it's not even a roller.
602
00:21:35,428 --> 00:21:39,029
And a lot of time,
guys will build bikes
out of an engine, you know.
603
00:21:39,098 --> 00:21:41,765
So here's a bike that's got
an older restoration,
604
00:21:41,834 --> 00:21:42,632
And it's together,
and it looks good.
605
00:21:42,702 --> 00:21:43,834
Mike: Oh, you got a servi-car.
606
00:21:44,036 --> 00:21:46,770
Elizabeth: This is my
favorite motorcycle.
607
00:21:46,839 --> 00:21:48,772
Mostly because I can
reach the pedals
608
00:21:48,841 --> 00:21:49,907
And it won't tip over!
Mike: Yeah.
609
00:21:49,976 --> 00:21:51,709
(laughs)
mike: Okay.
Have you ridden this?
610
00:21:51,911 --> 00:21:53,577
Elizabeth: I'm not
that great at it.
611
00:21:53,646 --> 00:21:54,712
But I get where I'm going.
612
00:21:54,781 --> 00:21:56,113
Mike: So this is
your favorite one,
613
00:21:56,315 --> 00:21:58,582
You're going to ride this.
Elizabeth: This is my favorite.
614
00:21:58,650 --> 00:22:01,852
Mike: I don't blame ya.
Elizabeth: I have a couple
more bikes in a pole barn.
615
00:22:02,054 --> 00:22:03,521
Mike: Okay. So what's going on
with these cars?
616
00:22:03,589 --> 00:22:04,455
Did he drive these cars?
617
00:22:04,524 --> 00:22:05,723
Elizabeth: Um... We did.
618
00:22:05,925 --> 00:22:08,592
The auburn is definitely
one I'm keeping.
619
00:22:08,660 --> 00:22:09,726
Mike: It's beautiful, man.
620
00:22:09,795 --> 00:22:11,929
Elizabeth: I can't
let that one go.
621
00:22:11,997 --> 00:22:13,464
Elizabeth: When he moved
up here, he retired,
622
00:22:13,666 --> 00:22:14,598
And this became his life.
623
00:22:14,667 --> 00:22:15,866
Joel: Yeah.
Mike: Really.
624
00:22:16,068 --> 00:22:17,668
Danielle: What a wonderful life.
Elizabeth: Yeah.
625
00:22:17,736 --> 00:22:19,470
Mike: So far, I've looked at
626
00:22:19,672 --> 00:22:20,804
An indian 4-cylinder,
627
00:22:20,873 --> 00:22:23,874
A 1934 chief,
and a 1937 chief.
628
00:22:24,076 --> 00:22:26,010
And they're saying
that they have more bikes.
629
00:22:29,748 --> 00:22:31,415
Diamond dave: Is he gonna fit?
630
00:22:31,484 --> 00:22:33,417
Robbie: Heck yeah.
631
00:22:33,485 --> 00:22:34,952
Joe: How doin'?
632
00:22:35,154 --> 00:22:36,820
Robbie: Good, how you doing?
Appreciate you coming.
633
00:22:36,889 --> 00:22:38,889
Joe: Yes, sir.
Robbie: Got to get this
634
00:22:38,957 --> 00:22:41,491
On your trailer
and then on my trailer.
635
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:42,693
Joe: Sounds good, man.
636
00:22:42,895 --> 00:22:44,962
Okay, there.
Tie that one right here.
637
00:22:45,164 --> 00:22:48,365
Robbie: Keep going.
There you go right there, man.
638
00:22:48,434 --> 00:22:51,168
Diamond dave: The tires
might come off,
but the wheels are rolling.
639
00:22:51,236 --> 00:22:52,837
Robbie: I don't care about--
yeah, the wheel are rolling.
640
00:22:53,039 --> 00:22:54,037
Diamond dave: Yeah.
Robbie: This trailer,
641
00:22:54,106 --> 00:22:56,774
If you pull it the wrong way,
the wrong direction,
642
00:22:56,843 --> 00:22:59,643
It feels like it wants
to pull apart.
643
00:22:59,712 --> 00:23:02,712
Robbie: Yeah, you're good. Yeah!
644
00:23:02,782 --> 00:23:03,647
We just got to
get it backed up,
645
00:23:03,850 --> 00:23:05,782
Put it right here
on that trailer.
646
00:23:05,851 --> 00:23:07,317
Joe: That trailer there?
Robbie: Yeah.
647
00:23:07,387 --> 00:23:08,986
(upbeat music)
648
00:23:17,797 --> 00:23:18,529
Robbie: We're right
on that edge.
649
00:23:18,598 --> 00:23:19,397
Diamond dave: Oh my god...
650
00:23:19,599 --> 00:23:22,132
Robbie: Whoa! Eee...
651
00:23:22,201 --> 00:23:23,867
Robbie: This guy is like
a surgeon with the flatbed.
652
00:23:23,936 --> 00:23:26,804
But I thought it was
going to fall off.
653
00:23:26,873 --> 00:23:29,873
I thought it was going
to tip over.
654
00:23:29,942 --> 00:23:31,608
Joe: Alright.
Robbie: Good job. Thank you.
655
00:23:31,677 --> 00:23:32,409
Diamond dave: Thank you, joe.
656
00:23:32,478 --> 00:23:33,744
Oh my god.
Robbie: Appreciate it.
657
00:23:33,812 --> 00:23:37,013
Robbie: Damn my heart went
through my mouth, I was like oh.
658
00:23:37,082 --> 00:23:39,616
Robbie: Thank you so much,
thank you so, so much.
659
00:23:39,685 --> 00:23:41,552
Janie: Thank you.
Robbie: Ugh!
660
00:23:41,754 --> 00:23:42,752
Janie: Bye, drive safe, guys!
661
00:23:42,822 --> 00:23:44,955
Robbie: Rock 'n' roll!
Janie: Bye.
662
00:23:45,023 --> 00:23:46,156
Robbie: Man, I'm riding
on a high right now.
663
00:23:46,225 --> 00:23:48,959
We might be able to make it all
the way to detroit tonight.
664
00:23:49,027 --> 00:23:49,960
Diamond dave: Okay.
Robbie: It's only like,
665
00:23:50,162 --> 00:23:51,895
I don't know, 16, 17 hours.
I'll take first shift.
666
00:23:51,964 --> 00:23:53,830
Diamond dave: Yeah, yeah,
that's fine with me.
667
00:23:53,899 --> 00:23:55,499
Robbie: Okay. Wow!
Diamond dave: Man...
668
00:23:55,568 --> 00:23:56,000
Robbie: So cool, so cool.
669
00:24:03,643 --> 00:24:05,709
Elizabeth: As you could see
at the other places,
we're running out of room.
670
00:24:05,912 --> 00:24:07,912
Mike: Yeah.
Elizabeth: My dad stored
671
00:24:07,980 --> 00:24:09,646
Some of his most favorite
things in here.
672
00:24:09,715 --> 00:24:11,848
Danielle: Ooh.
Elizabeth: Yeah.
673
00:24:11,917 --> 00:24:13,250
Joel: Come on in.
Elizabeth: Come on in.
674
00:24:13,319 --> 00:24:14,918
Mike: Wow.
675
00:24:14,987 --> 00:24:17,053
Danielle: You got all kinds
of stuff in here.
676
00:24:17,122 --> 00:24:19,723
Mike: In this building,
there's a lot to take in.
677
00:24:19,926 --> 00:24:21,992
I'm seeing cars,
I'm seeing boats,
678
00:24:22,061 --> 00:24:23,527
I'm seeing advertising,
I'm seeing gas pumps.
679
00:24:23,595 --> 00:24:26,664
Mike: Look at that!
He would run this up and down
the lake out there?
680
00:24:26,866 --> 00:24:27,864
Elizabeth: Once in
a while, yeah.
681
00:24:27,933 --> 00:24:29,333
Mike: Whoa.
Joel: It has seen the lake.
682
00:24:29,535 --> 00:24:31,268
Mike: Oh my gosh.
683
00:24:31,336 --> 00:24:33,737
Danielle: These are
the crème-de-la-crème
of wood boats.
684
00:24:33,806 --> 00:24:35,406
Mike: Wow.
Dani look at this thing.
685
00:24:35,474 --> 00:24:37,341
Cobra one. Dang!
686
00:24:37,543 --> 00:24:39,610
(wolf whistles)
687
00:24:39,812 --> 00:24:41,011
Mike: They're very rare models.
688
00:24:41,079 --> 00:24:43,613
The condition is incredible.
I mean, they're mind-benders.
689
00:24:43,682 --> 00:24:44,815
Mike: So he had to be like,
690
00:24:45,017 --> 00:24:46,950
The king, when he went
to the boat shows.
691
00:24:47,019 --> 00:24:48,085
Elizabeth: Yeah.
Danielle: Are you gonna hold on
692
00:24:48,153 --> 00:24:50,287
To these ones? Are you gonna
keep all these boats?
693
00:24:50,489 --> 00:24:51,555
Elizabeth: Yeah.
694
00:24:51,623 --> 00:24:52,890
Mike: I can understand
695
00:24:52,959 --> 00:24:54,558
Where's she's coming from
on the boats.
696
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,026
She got a connection there,
697
00:24:56,228 --> 00:24:57,961
And I'm sure they were
her father's pride and joy.
698
00:24:58,030 --> 00:25:00,764
Elizabeth: I hate to say it,
but he always said,
699
00:25:00,833 --> 00:25:03,233
"if I die,
don't have a garage sale."
700
00:25:03,302 --> 00:25:04,568
(laughs)
701
00:25:04,637 --> 00:25:06,169
I mean, he would always...
702
00:25:06,238 --> 00:25:07,838
Joel: Always, always say that.
Elizabeth: Always say that.
703
00:25:07,907 --> 00:25:10,307
Don't put $5 on this
at the garage sale.
704
00:25:10,509 --> 00:25:12,776
Mike: So have you thought
about what cars you
want to keep in here?
705
00:25:12,845 --> 00:25:14,044
Elizabeth: Um...
Mike: You guys kind of
706
00:25:14,113 --> 00:25:15,246
Kicked that around a little bit?
Joel: A little bit.
707
00:25:15,448 --> 00:25:18,649
Mike: Elizabeth is still trying
to navigate and figure out
708
00:25:18,717 --> 00:25:19,850
What she does want to sell
709
00:25:19,918 --> 00:25:22,119
And what she doesn't
want to sell.
710
00:25:22,187 --> 00:25:24,054
Mike: I can see you behind
the wheel of this.
(laughs)
711
00:25:24,256 --> 00:25:26,924
Elizabeth: I don't know, I like
the pierce-arrow, myself.
712
00:25:26,992 --> 00:25:29,793
Mike: Oh, you got a cord
and a pierce-arrow.
713
00:25:29,996 --> 00:25:31,195
Mike: So is this something
that you guys
714
00:25:31,263 --> 00:25:33,063
Have thought about selling?
What's going on with this car?
715
00:25:33,131 --> 00:25:35,266
Mike: Every time I looked
at one of the cars,
716
00:25:35,468 --> 00:25:38,002
Popped the hood on it,
got inside of it,
looked around it.
717
00:25:38,070 --> 00:25:39,336
You know, elizabeth was just
kind of like...
718
00:25:39,405 --> 00:25:40,871
I don't know.
719
00:25:41,073 --> 00:25:43,874
Elizabeth: It is one
of my more favorite cars.
720
00:25:43,942 --> 00:25:45,809
Elizabeth: Since my dad
passed, um...
721
00:25:45,878 --> 00:25:48,545
It's very emotional
seeing everything
722
00:25:48,614 --> 00:25:51,815
That was so dear to him,
723
00:25:51,884 --> 00:25:54,751
And he put so much
hard work into it.
724
00:25:54,820 --> 00:25:55,485
Mike: Your dad had
such great taste.
725
00:25:55,555 --> 00:25:56,886
Elizabeth: Hoodie, huh.
726
00:25:56,956 --> 00:25:59,089
Mike: You know, I can tell
in her voice
727
00:25:59,158 --> 00:26:01,692
That some of these things,
they're very close to her.
728
00:26:01,894 --> 00:26:04,094
And I get that,
I understand that.
729
00:26:04,163 --> 00:26:07,231
Mike: What about this sign here?
That white star gasoline.
730
00:26:07,299 --> 00:26:09,499
Elizabeth: Yeah, I don't really
have any attachment to that.
731
00:26:09,569 --> 00:26:10,701
Mike: Yeah?
Joel: No.
732
00:26:10,769 --> 00:26:13,571
Mike: In that condition, 1,500.
733
00:26:13,773 --> 00:26:14,838
Elizabeth: Sounds good to me.
734
00:26:14,906 --> 00:26:16,707
Mike: Alright,
shake the hand, dani.
735
00:26:16,775 --> 00:26:18,842
(laughs)
danielle: Boom, boom!
736
00:26:18,910 --> 00:26:20,377
That was a double shake.
Mike: Thank you.
737
00:26:20,446 --> 00:26:22,012
(upbeat music)
738
00:26:37,863 --> 00:26:38,795
Robbie: There's a bug
in your ear?
739
00:26:38,864 --> 00:26:39,930
Diamond dave: You put
something on me?
740
00:26:39,998 --> 00:26:41,865
Robbie: It was red looking.
It's right here.
741
00:26:42,068 --> 00:26:44,000
Robbie: It's right there.
It's in your pocket.
742
00:26:44,069 --> 00:26:46,070
Wake the hell up.
Diamond dave: Eyes on the road.
743
00:26:46,138 --> 00:26:49,006
Robbie: You're supposed
to be freakin' navigating.
744
00:26:54,213 --> 00:26:56,413
Diamond dave: This is your
left coming up right here.
745
00:26:56,615 --> 00:26:57,348
That was your left!
746
00:26:57,550 --> 00:26:58,816
Robbie: Dude, I can't
take a left there,
747
00:26:59,018 --> 00:27:00,017
I got a trailer on
the end of this thing.
748
00:27:00,219 --> 00:27:02,419
Diamond dave: It just took you
four seconds to tell me
749
00:27:02,488 --> 00:27:05,755
You couldn't take the left,
you could have taken
the left in two seconds.
750
00:27:05,824 --> 00:27:07,691
Mike: Alright, there's
the harleys,
751
00:27:07,759 --> 00:27:08,492
Okay, I'm looking at them like,
752
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,695
Look at this! Yeah!
753
00:27:11,763 --> 00:27:14,498
Mike: This is a 1936 harley vld
754
00:27:14,567 --> 00:27:15,966
With a goulding sidecar.
755
00:27:16,035 --> 00:27:17,367
Mike: So he loves these
goulding sidecars, man.
756
00:27:17,436 --> 00:27:18,502
Elizabeth: Yeah.
757
00:27:18,571 --> 00:27:20,104
Mike: Harley made a vlh,
758
00:27:20,172 --> 00:27:23,974
Which was an 80-inch,
and the vld was a 74-inch,
759
00:27:24,042 --> 00:27:26,843
But it was considered
high performance,
760
00:27:26,912 --> 00:27:28,779
Hotter cams
and ported cylinders.
761
00:27:28,847 --> 00:27:29,913
Mike: This is a pretty
rare bike.
762
00:27:29,982 --> 00:27:33,651
This is a '36,
was the last year of the vl.
763
00:27:33,853 --> 00:27:35,719
When they were making
this bike,
764
00:27:35,788 --> 00:27:37,788
They were making
the '36 knucklehead.
765
00:27:37,990 --> 00:27:39,189
Changed everything for them.
Joel: Yeah.
766
00:27:39,258 --> 00:27:42,726
Mike: This is a beautiful bike.
So this is, again, same thing,
767
00:27:42,795 --> 00:27:43,794
Rider's restoration.
Joel: Yeah.
768
00:27:43,996 --> 00:27:46,663
Mike: I could see
it's missing the toolbox.
769
00:27:46,732 --> 00:27:47,597
It's got the right headlight,
770
00:27:47,667 --> 00:27:48,732
It's got the right spotlights,
771
00:27:48,934 --> 00:27:51,068
It's got the earlier
spotlights on it.
772
00:27:51,136 --> 00:27:54,738
Got the right ammeter.
This is an accessory speedo.
773
00:27:54,940 --> 00:27:56,873
Look at these caps on here, man.
(laughs)
774
00:27:56,942 --> 00:27:58,475
Mike: Maybe he made
these, I don't know.
775
00:27:58,677 --> 00:27:59,342
Elizabeth: He could have.
776
00:27:59,412 --> 00:28:01,145
Mike: Got a later
air cleaner on it.
777
00:28:01,347 --> 00:28:02,679
Woo!
778
00:28:02,748 --> 00:28:04,815
That's what I'm talking about.
779
00:28:04,884 --> 00:28:05,683
Mike: This is a desirable
bike as well.
780
00:28:05,885 --> 00:28:08,552
I mean, a jd
is a desirable bike.
781
00:28:08,620 --> 00:28:11,422
Mike: From 1921 to 1929,
782
00:28:11,624 --> 00:28:12,823
Harley made the jd.
783
00:28:12,892 --> 00:28:15,092
This is a '24.
This is a pivotal year
784
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,028
Because this is the last year
of the loop frame,
785
00:28:18,096 --> 00:28:20,630
And it's the first year
of the big port motor.
786
00:28:20,699 --> 00:28:22,900
Mike: God, his paint job, man.
787
00:28:23,102 --> 00:28:24,768
You ever heard of earl scheib?
Danielle: Yeah.
788
00:28:24,970 --> 00:28:27,036
(laughs)
mike: He's an earl scheib, man.
789
00:28:27,106 --> 00:28:30,374
Mike: So this sidecar,
this frame is really rough.
790
00:28:30,576 --> 00:28:31,308
It's super pitted.
791
00:28:31,510 --> 00:28:32,776
Joel: Oh yeah.
792
00:28:32,845 --> 00:28:35,044
Mike: You know,
look at that, man.
793
00:28:35,114 --> 00:28:36,980
What are you guys thinking
about doing with these?
794
00:28:37,048 --> 00:28:37,581
Elizabeth: We're going
to have to sell them.
795
00:28:37,783 --> 00:28:40,317
Mike: Yeah?
Elizabeth: Yeah.
796
00:28:40,386 --> 00:28:42,118
(deep exhale)
797
00:28:42,187 --> 00:28:45,588
Mike: To find one of these
bikes would be incredible.
798
00:28:45,657 --> 00:28:47,257
But there's five bikes here.
799
00:28:47,325 --> 00:28:48,592
Five.
800
00:28:48,660 --> 00:28:49,660
Mike: Woo!
Joel: Yeah.
801
00:28:49,728 --> 00:28:50,727
Danielle: I love it
when mike buys motorcycles.
802
00:28:50,796 --> 00:28:52,996
I encourage mike
to buy motorcycles,
803
00:28:53,064 --> 00:28:55,532
Because they bring in
a good amount of revenue,
804
00:28:55,601 --> 00:28:56,800
And they never sit around.
805
00:28:56,869 --> 00:28:59,136
Someone's always wanting
to buy a bike.
806
00:28:59,204 --> 00:29:00,737
Mike: So these have probably
been sitting 20 years too?
807
00:29:00,806 --> 00:29:02,673
Elizabeth: Oh yeah.
Mike: Yeah, see.
808
00:29:02,875 --> 00:29:04,541
Elizabeth: I would say,
at least.
809
00:29:04,610 --> 00:29:05,876
Mike: Yeah... It's tough,
810
00:29:06,078 --> 00:29:08,011
You know, without hearing
these things run...
811
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:09,079
Elizabeth: Right.
Mike: That's the biggest thing.
812
00:29:09,281 --> 00:29:11,615
Mike: Here's what I know.
There's five bikes here
813
00:29:11,817 --> 00:29:13,951
That haven't ran in 20 years.
814
00:29:14,019 --> 00:29:16,086
I can look at the quality
of the restoration.
815
00:29:16,154 --> 00:29:18,622
Mike: Then I'm looking
at all the incorrect parts
816
00:29:18,691 --> 00:29:20,824
That are on most of the bikes.
817
00:29:20,893 --> 00:29:23,693
Okay, that's the stuff
that I can see.
818
00:29:23,763 --> 00:29:25,562
Mike: What I can't see,
or hear,
819
00:29:25,630 --> 00:29:27,965
Is the bike's running,
820
00:29:28,033 --> 00:29:29,767
Feel the bikes shifting,
riding the bikes.
821
00:29:29,969 --> 00:29:32,903
And that's where
I'm just kind of...
822
00:29:32,972 --> 00:29:35,172
In my mind trying
to figure all this out.
823
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,708
Because to be honest with you,
I love all of the bikes,
824
00:29:37,776 --> 00:29:40,644
I love the '24 jd, the '36 vl,
825
00:29:40,713 --> 00:29:43,046
The 4-cylinder, the '37 chief,
826
00:29:43,114 --> 00:29:44,514
The '34 chief.
They're all incredible bikes.
827
00:29:44,583 --> 00:29:47,517
This is one man's life.
828
00:29:47,586 --> 00:29:48,785
This is his hard work.
829
00:29:48,854 --> 00:29:52,188
Mike: He's had his hands on
every single one of these bikes.
830
00:29:52,257 --> 00:29:55,125
And so I'm trying to navigate
which one I want to buy...
831
00:29:55,327 --> 00:29:58,795
And that's hard, because each
one of them have something
832
00:29:58,864 --> 00:30:00,997
Really special going on,
in my mind,
833
00:30:01,066 --> 00:30:04,001
As far as like, the year
and the type of bike.
834
00:30:06,471 --> 00:30:08,272
(deep exhale)
835
00:30:08,340 --> 00:30:10,340
Uh...
836
00:30:10,542 --> 00:30:13,277
(clicks tongue)
837
00:30:13,479 --> 00:30:15,945
Mike: Um...
838
00:30:16,014 --> 00:30:17,680
Mike: All of this
is overwhelming, it's like,
839
00:30:17,749 --> 00:30:19,016
I need a moment to kind of...
840
00:30:19,218 --> 00:30:21,751
Just step back, look around
at some other stuff
841
00:30:21,821 --> 00:30:23,987
And decide what
I want to do here.
842
00:30:52,317 --> 00:30:54,251
Diamond dave: Is this
the longest you've ever
been quiet?
843
00:30:54,453 --> 00:30:54,985
Right here?
844
00:30:57,989 --> 00:31:01,525
Robbie: Wake me when
we get to... Detroit.
845
00:31:01,593 --> 00:31:02,526
(diamond dave humming)
846
00:31:02,728 --> 00:31:03,994
Robbie: No, no. No humming.
847
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,601
Danielle: I've been eyeing
that lion sign over there.
848
00:31:11,670 --> 00:31:13,470
Mike: I'm not a boat guy,
849
00:31:13,672 --> 00:31:14,537
I'm kind of a car guy,
850
00:31:14,606 --> 00:31:16,073
But I'm a motorcycle guy.
851
00:31:16,141 --> 00:31:17,807
Mike: You know, I'm looking
at everything here
852
00:31:17,877 --> 00:31:19,542
And it's like, I'm just,
my thoughts
853
00:31:19,612 --> 00:31:21,945
Are just with these bikes.
854
00:31:22,013 --> 00:31:23,881
Danielle: So liz,
this lion sign right here,
855
00:31:24,083 --> 00:31:26,950
I'm really interested in.
It's pretty ravaged.
856
00:31:27,019 --> 00:31:28,218
Elizabeth: Right.
Danielle: But it's porcelain.
857
00:31:28,287 --> 00:31:30,487
Danielle: I know there's
different versions
of this lion sign.
858
00:31:30,556 --> 00:31:31,621
This one's pretty rare.
859
00:31:31,690 --> 00:31:32,622
Danielle: Is it double-sided?
860
00:31:32,691 --> 00:31:34,824
Elizabeth: I... Don't know.
861
00:31:34,893 --> 00:31:35,959
Danielle: Is this one
you wanna sell?
862
00:31:36,027 --> 00:31:37,227
Elizabeth: Sure.
Joel: I think we can do that.
863
00:31:37,429 --> 00:31:38,695
All: Yeah.
864
00:31:38,897 --> 00:31:39,897
Danielle: I'm thinking
three grand.
865
00:31:40,099 --> 00:31:41,031
Danielle: I'm taking
a little bit of a risk,
866
00:31:41,099 --> 00:31:42,833
Because I can't see
the other side of it.
867
00:31:43,035 --> 00:31:44,033
But I don't see this sign
very often,
868
00:31:44,102 --> 00:31:46,903
So I know for sure
if I've got it in the shop,
869
00:31:46,972 --> 00:31:48,572
Someone's going
to come in and buy it.
870
00:31:48,774 --> 00:31:51,240
Elizabeth: Could we do like, 32?
871
00:31:51,310 --> 00:31:54,043
Danielle: You know what?
Actually, this birdcage
back here...
872
00:31:54,112 --> 00:31:55,579
Elizabeth: Mm-hmm.
Danielle: I've been eyeing this
873
00:31:55,647 --> 00:31:56,446
Since we've been in here.
874
00:31:56,648 --> 00:31:58,448
Look how cool that is.
875
00:31:58,650 --> 00:31:59,716
Elizabeth: That is cool.
876
00:31:59,784 --> 00:32:01,784
Danielle: It says, "these birds
were caught stealing gas
877
00:32:01,853 --> 00:32:05,455
And replaced with lively
ac spark plugs."
878
00:32:05,524 --> 00:32:07,390
So how about if we do...
879
00:32:07,459 --> 00:32:10,060
These two for 34?
880
00:32:10,262 --> 00:32:12,128
Elizabeth: I think that's fair.
Danielle: Yes, alright.
881
00:32:12,197 --> 00:32:14,931
Danielle: I know that this
piece will sell in the shop,
882
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,666
Because we've bought
one before and it sold...
883
00:32:16,735 --> 00:32:17,734
(snaps fingers)
...Like that.
884
00:32:17,803 --> 00:32:18,935
Mike: Let's see what this
looks like inside here.
885
00:32:19,004 --> 00:32:20,537
Mike: There are some
significant bikes here.
886
00:32:20,605 --> 00:32:22,873
Mike: That's clean, man.
887
00:32:23,075 --> 00:32:24,007
Mike: That's what I understand
the most,
888
00:32:24,075 --> 00:32:26,743
And that's what I'm hoping
to leave here with.
889
00:32:26,945 --> 00:32:28,745
Mike: It also depends
on how they run.
890
00:32:28,814 --> 00:32:29,946
Elizabeth: Right.
Mike: You know.
891
00:32:30,015 --> 00:32:32,816
Mike: Every one of these bikes
has value
892
00:32:32,884 --> 00:32:34,751
If it runs right,
it shifts right.
893
00:32:34,820 --> 00:32:36,820
Mike: To rebuild
a 4-cylinder engine
894
00:32:36,889 --> 00:32:40,023
Is a minimum of 25 grand.
Elizabeth: Right.
895
00:32:40,091 --> 00:32:42,092
Mike: I mean, in my head,
my head was just spinning
896
00:32:42,294 --> 00:32:45,294
As far as like, you know,
the what-ifs and everything,
897
00:32:45,364 --> 00:32:47,364
And the incorrect parts,
and trying to straighten
things out.
898
00:32:47,433 --> 00:32:49,899
And it, I mean...
899
00:32:49,969 --> 00:32:52,702
Mike: After looking over
everything, and, um...
900
00:32:52,771 --> 00:32:55,038
Just kind of assessing,
you know,
901
00:32:55,107 --> 00:32:56,773
What the bikes are going
to need to get them running.
902
00:32:56,975 --> 00:32:58,975
I'm looking at the type
of restoration
903
00:32:59,044 --> 00:33:01,578
That's on the bike,
what's incorrect parts-wise,
904
00:33:01,780 --> 00:33:02,913
And what's correct parts-wise.
905
00:33:03,115 --> 00:33:04,848
Even the smallest thing,
like this sidecar frame
906
00:33:04,916 --> 00:33:07,784
Being as broken
and pitted as it is,
907
00:33:07,852 --> 00:33:10,653
I mean, it all affects
the number.
908
00:33:10,722 --> 00:33:11,722
Elizabeth: Right.
Mike: Um...
909
00:33:11,924 --> 00:33:12,522
Mike: After looking
at the bikes
910
00:33:12,724 --> 00:33:14,858
And crawling around them,
911
00:33:14,927 --> 00:33:16,860
And just trying to decide
on which one
912
00:33:16,929 --> 00:33:19,930
I want to walk away with,
it's like...
913
00:33:19,998 --> 00:33:21,798
I don't want to leave
any of them behind.
914
00:33:21,867 --> 00:33:23,266
Mike: I'm thinking
about all the bikes.
915
00:33:23,334 --> 00:33:25,335
(joel whistles)
mike: That's the 4-cylinder
in the house,
916
00:33:25,537 --> 00:33:26,536
That's the '36,
917
00:33:26,738 --> 00:33:29,472
That's the '24, and the '37
918
00:33:29,541 --> 00:33:30,673
And the '34 chiefs.
919
00:33:30,742 --> 00:33:32,675
Mike: There's five bikes here,
920
00:33:32,744 --> 00:33:33,810
Which is five times the issues.
921
00:33:33,879 --> 00:33:36,813
But, also five times
the opportunity.
922
00:33:36,882 --> 00:33:39,983
Mike: I'd pay 135,000
for all of them.
923
00:33:44,556 --> 00:33:47,490
Danielle: $135,000.
924
00:33:47,559 --> 00:33:49,759
When I heard the number,
925
00:33:49,828 --> 00:33:50,994
It stuck right here
in my throat.
926
00:33:54,165 --> 00:33:56,299
Mike: That's where I want
to throw my hat in the ring.
927
00:33:56,502 --> 00:33:58,034
Elizabeth: Okay.
928
00:33:58,103 --> 00:33:59,703
Mike: That's all five bikes
that we've looked at.
929
00:33:59,771 --> 00:34:02,439
Mike: $135,000 for five bikes
930
00:34:02,641 --> 00:34:04,841
Is 27 grand apiece.
931
00:34:04,910 --> 00:34:06,576
Are some worth more?
Man, I hope so.
932
00:34:06,778 --> 00:34:07,844
It depends on how they run.
933
00:34:07,913 --> 00:34:10,847
But that's where I felt
I needed to be,
934
00:34:10,916 --> 00:34:13,450
With the quality
of the restoration,
935
00:34:13,519 --> 00:34:15,251
The incorrect parts,
936
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,386
And just the fact that I have
no idea how all of this stuff
937
00:34:17,456 --> 00:34:20,924
Is going to pan out
when it comes to getting
this stuff running.
938
00:34:20,992 --> 00:34:23,660
Mike: I've got a friend
that ones a museum
939
00:34:23,862 --> 00:34:25,061
In maggie valley,
north carolina.
940
00:34:25,130 --> 00:34:26,863
He's worked on a lot of bikes
for us in the past.
941
00:34:26,932 --> 00:34:28,598
Elizabeth: Mm-hmm.
Mike: And I would love
942
00:34:28,667 --> 00:34:30,600
To get these up there and...
943
00:34:30,802 --> 00:34:32,001
Joel: True.
Elizabeth: Right.
944
00:34:32,071 --> 00:34:33,336
Mike: ...And get his
hands on these. With his help,
945
00:34:33,405 --> 00:34:35,938
I think we can get them
running and put them
back on the road.
946
00:34:36,007 --> 00:34:38,007
Mike: Each one is going to be
a journey,
947
00:34:38,077 --> 00:34:40,610
Whether it's tires,
or cleaning the fuel tank,
948
00:34:40,679 --> 00:34:41,944
Or finding the right part,
949
00:34:42,013 --> 00:34:44,614
Or making the bike shift,
whatever it is.
950
00:34:44,816 --> 00:34:45,948
There's so many different things
951
00:34:46,017 --> 00:34:47,950
That could happen
with one of these bikes.
952
00:34:48,019 --> 00:34:51,955
The lynchpin is how
they are mechanically.
953
00:34:52,157 --> 00:34:56,225
That is the deciding factor
on the real value.
954
00:34:56,294 --> 00:34:58,962
Joel: Think we could
have minute to maybe
discuss it, maybe?
955
00:34:59,030 --> 00:35:01,030
Mike: Absolutely, absolutely.
Joel: Alright.
956
00:35:01,099 --> 00:35:03,366
Elizabeth: My dad's handprints
are all over those.
957
00:35:03,434 --> 00:35:04,901
Joel: Yeah.
958
00:35:05,103 --> 00:35:07,571
Elizabeth: And he spent
a lot of time with them.
959
00:35:07,773 --> 00:35:10,373
And he was very proud of them.
960
00:35:10,442 --> 00:35:13,009
(tense music)
961
00:35:14,913 --> 00:35:16,646
Joel: We can't hold on
to everything.
962
00:35:16,848 --> 00:35:19,182
The opportunity
is here and...
963
00:35:19,384 --> 00:35:19,983
(sighs)
964
00:35:22,921 --> 00:35:25,589
Mike: Over and over again
in my mind,
965
00:35:25,791 --> 00:35:28,592
I have imagined this situation
966
00:35:28,660 --> 00:35:30,860
With my daughter, charlie.
967
00:35:30,929 --> 00:35:32,929
Mike: I think every
collector does.
968
00:35:33,131 --> 00:35:34,931
You know, once you start
acquiring so much stuff
969
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,001
That's even overwhelming
to me, sometimes,
970
00:35:38,203 --> 00:35:39,870
When I think about
all the parts and all the bikes
971
00:35:40,072 --> 00:35:41,804
And all that stuff
that I've worked so hard
972
00:35:41,874 --> 00:35:44,674
To collect over
all of these years,
973
00:35:44,743 --> 00:35:47,810
If something was
to happen to me,
974
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:51,214
How would charlie
navigate that, you know?
975
00:35:51,283 --> 00:35:54,884
So I can empathize with what
elizabeth is going through.
976
00:35:54,953 --> 00:35:57,620
Mike: So have you guys
thought about it at all?
977
00:35:57,689 --> 00:35:58,755
Where are you going
to be on
978
00:35:58,824 --> 00:36:00,823
Them or where you want
to be on them?
979
00:36:00,892 --> 00:36:02,892
Joel: Yeah.
Elizabeth: When I saw mike
980
00:36:02,961 --> 00:36:05,495
Looking at the bikes,
and I seen, you know,
981
00:36:05,697 --> 00:36:07,964
His excitement, of course,
982
00:36:08,033 --> 00:36:10,167
Spouting off a lot of things
that I didn't know.
983
00:36:10,369 --> 00:36:10,967
(laughs)
984
00:36:11,036 --> 00:36:13,036
Elizabeth: That kind of made me
985
00:36:13,104 --> 00:36:15,839
Feel less anxious about
getting rid of those.
986
00:36:15,907 --> 00:36:18,575
Elizabeth: We thought
about it, and...
987
00:36:18,777 --> 00:36:21,044
I think that we could do that.
988
00:36:21,113 --> 00:36:24,981
Because we want someone
to really appreciate these.
989
00:36:25,183 --> 00:36:26,716
Elizabeth: We don't want them
to sit in a garage.
990
00:36:26,918 --> 00:36:27,650
Danielle: For another
20 years, right?
991
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,852
Elizabeth: Right, right.
(laughs)
992
00:36:29,922 --> 00:36:31,854
Elizabeth: We want somebody
to enjoy them
993
00:36:31,924 --> 00:36:33,056
As much as my dad did.
Mike: Appreciate it.
994
00:36:33,124 --> 00:36:35,792
Mike: All of these things
represent something
995
00:36:35,994 --> 00:36:37,327
That none of us can buy,
and that's time.
996
00:36:37,395 --> 00:36:39,395
Danielle: Awesome.
Mike: Well, we're going
to get them running.
997
00:36:39,464 --> 00:36:43,867
Elizabeth: I know that
he's going to do what's right
for them,
998
00:36:43,935 --> 00:36:46,670
And hopefully get them
on the road
999
00:36:46,738 --> 00:36:48,070
And somebody enjoying them.
1000
00:36:48,139 --> 00:36:51,274
Elizabeth: And doing what
they were made to do.
1001
00:36:51,343 --> 00:36:54,143
Mike: Woo!
Danielle: Well, we cleaned
you out today, didn't we?
1002
00:36:54,213 --> 00:36:55,879
Mike: You know what I'll do,
I'll send you guys some video
1003
00:36:55,947 --> 00:36:57,013
Of the bikes running.
Elizabeth: Yes.
1004
00:36:57,215 --> 00:37:00,082
Mike: The reason these things
are still all here
1005
00:37:00,151 --> 00:37:02,485
Is because people love them
the way her father did.
1006
00:37:02,554 --> 00:37:03,620
That's why they're here.
1007
00:37:03,689 --> 00:37:05,622
So you know, hat's off to him
1008
00:37:05,691 --> 00:37:07,557
For the life that he had here.
1009
00:37:07,759 --> 00:37:09,025
(honks horn)
danielle: Bye!
1010
00:37:09,094 --> 00:37:10,994
Mike: It's a beautiful home,
right on the lake.
1011
00:37:18,303 --> 00:37:20,970
Robbie: This is a hell
of a vacation
I took you on, isn't it?
1012
00:37:21,039 --> 00:37:22,772
Diamond dave: You know
those camps you go to
1013
00:37:22,841 --> 00:37:24,907
Where the men bang on drums,
you cry,
1014
00:37:24,976 --> 00:37:27,243
And you realize that
we're all here together?
1015
00:37:27,312 --> 00:37:30,513
That's been this whole
experience with you and I
in this truck.
1016
00:37:30,582 --> 00:37:32,449
But with more crying.
1017
00:37:32,517 --> 00:37:34,985
(robbie laughs)
1018
00:37:40,992 --> 00:37:42,792
Mike: I don't actually
yell at my dog, okay.
1019
00:37:42,994 --> 00:37:44,927
She can't hear very well.
(phone ringing)
1020
00:37:44,996 --> 00:37:46,996
Danielle: Oh, hold on,
hold on, this is bill.
1021
00:37:47,065 --> 00:37:48,531
Hey, bill, how're you doing?
Mike: Hey, what's up?
1022
00:37:48,734 --> 00:37:50,533
Bill hey guys, I'm great.
1023
00:37:50,736 --> 00:37:51,601
Mike, I guess your brother
1024
00:37:51,803 --> 00:37:52,936
Dropped the trailer off
over at the warehouse.
1025
00:37:53,138 --> 00:37:54,804
The warehouse guys
said that it's down there.
1026
00:37:55,006 --> 00:37:56,806
Mike: Robbie's like
a road warrior, man.
1027
00:37:57,008 --> 00:37:58,608
Danielle: I know.
Mike: Have you seen it?
1028
00:37:58,677 --> 00:37:59,809
Bill: No, I haven't seen it.
1029
00:37:59,878 --> 00:38:01,277
Jack and I are still
in the studio
1030
00:38:01,346 --> 00:38:03,146
Working on something
we gotta finish up
on this record.
1031
00:38:03,214 --> 00:38:04,947
But we're going to get down
there as soon as we can.
1032
00:38:05,016 --> 00:38:06,949
Mike: Dude, we're still
picking in michigan.
1033
00:38:07,018 --> 00:38:09,085
How far are we from detroit?
Danielle: Hour 45.
1034
00:38:09,154 --> 00:38:11,954
Mike: Okay, we're an hour 45,
according to boss lady.
1035
00:38:12,024 --> 00:38:13,823
Bill: Okay great,
that'll be perfect timing.
1036
00:38:13,891 --> 00:38:15,024
Maybe we can meet
you down there.
1037
00:38:15,093 --> 00:38:16,092
Mike: Alright man, thanks!
Danielle: Sounds good.
1038
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,028
Bill: Okay, see you soon.
Alright, awesome.
1039
00:38:18,230 --> 00:38:19,996
Mike: Thanks for the heads up.
Danielle: Thanks, bill.
1040
00:38:24,168 --> 00:38:26,036
Mike: You and bill are the ones
that are gonna take
1041
00:38:26,238 --> 00:38:27,704
All the credit on this thing.
Him finding the paperwork
1042
00:38:27,773 --> 00:38:28,905
And then you bird-dogging
the lady.
1043
00:38:28,974 --> 00:38:31,040
And then robbie too,
robbie and diamond dave
1044
00:38:31,109 --> 00:38:33,443
Went to go get it, it's like,
I didn't do anything.
1045
00:38:33,511 --> 00:38:36,379
Danielle: Your team's
supposed to make sure you
don't have to do much.
1046
00:38:36,448 --> 00:38:38,781
Mike: I know. No, no,
I'm just excited they got it,
you kidding me?
1047
00:38:38,850 --> 00:38:39,716
Mike: I can't wait
to see this thing.
1048
00:38:39,785 --> 00:38:41,251
Alright, there they are,
look at 'em.
1049
00:38:41,453 --> 00:38:42,452
(honks horn)
1050
00:38:42,654 --> 00:38:43,853
Danielle: Check it out!
1051
00:38:43,922 --> 00:38:46,589
Mike: Whaddup!
Jack: What's up? We did it.
1052
00:38:46,792 --> 00:38:48,258
(laughs)
mike: We did it, dude!
1053
00:38:48,326 --> 00:38:50,593
Danielle: Look at this.
Jack: I don't know
how you did it.
1054
00:38:50,662 --> 00:38:51,861
Danielle: Oh, it's so cool.
1055
00:38:51,929 --> 00:38:54,063
Jack: To see that van
and the trailer
1056
00:38:54,132 --> 00:38:56,132
Brought back together
and remarried and reconnected.
1057
00:38:56,201 --> 00:38:59,135
I mean, I just can't imagine
anybody could not be turned on
1058
00:38:59,204 --> 00:39:01,738
And smile from that and get
some inspiration from that.
1059
00:39:01,806 --> 00:39:03,072
Mike: Look at this.
Jack: Wow.
1060
00:39:03,141 --> 00:39:04,741
I mean, come on, give me
a break, that's incredible.
1061
00:39:04,943 --> 00:39:07,343
Jack: Reunited and it
feels so good.
1062
00:39:07,412 --> 00:39:10,413
Mike: Jack's passion
for this project
is definitely contagious.
1063
00:39:10,482 --> 00:39:14,084
I mean, when you think
about history of that truck,
the recording.
1064
00:39:14,286 --> 00:39:16,886
Bill: Over here was the lounge,
where everybody would sit.
1065
00:39:17,088 --> 00:39:18,955
This was where the tape
machine was strapped in.
1066
00:39:19,024 --> 00:39:21,024
Mike: Anybody from sid vicious
to bob seger.
1067
00:39:21,226 --> 00:39:24,827
You know, so the ripple effect
of the body of work
1068
00:39:24,896 --> 00:39:27,296
That this vehicle
produced is huge.
1069
00:39:27,365 --> 00:39:30,767
Bill: Looks like they had
a ramp that was on
this hinge, and it--
1070
00:39:30,969 --> 00:39:32,034
Mike: Yeah, it rested here.
Bill: Yep.
1071
00:39:32,104 --> 00:39:34,570
Mike: It rested on here,
so that's what this hinge is.
1072
00:39:34,639 --> 00:39:35,839
Mike: And then look at this.
1073
00:39:36,041 --> 00:39:38,975
You've got the same latches
on this vehicle.
1074
00:39:39,044 --> 00:39:41,177
Jack: So this was the side
tarp for the walkway.
1075
00:39:41,379 --> 00:39:44,046
Mike: The trailer from 20 feet
away looks like the trailer.
1076
00:39:44,116 --> 00:39:45,848
But once you start crawling
around inside of it
1077
00:39:45,917 --> 00:39:48,517
And doing the forensics,
you realize
1078
00:39:48,586 --> 00:39:50,720
That it is "the" trailer.
1079
00:39:50,788 --> 00:39:51,788
Mike: There's no
doubt this is it.
1080
00:39:51,856 --> 00:39:53,790
Jack: Oh, this is it,
absolutely.
1081
00:39:53,858 --> 00:39:55,658
Mike: I mean,
it really is legit.
1082
00:39:55,726 --> 00:39:57,327
Bill: Hey, look at this, guys.
1083
00:39:57,529 --> 00:39:58,394
Mike: What is it?
1084
00:39:58,463 --> 00:39:59,729
Bill: It looks like
the other one of those.
1085
00:39:59,931 --> 00:40:01,464
Mike: Oh, it's the same hook.
Bill: Yeah, but it's
the missing one.
1086
00:40:01,666 --> 00:40:03,065
Mike: Oh! Look at that!
1087
00:40:03,134 --> 00:40:04,867
Bill: And it's been sitting
in that box for 20 years.
1088
00:40:04,936 --> 00:40:06,068
Mike: Oh... Right there.
Jack: Look at that.
1089
00:40:06,138 --> 00:40:08,804
Jack: How cool is that,
that that was in this trailer?
1090
00:40:08,873 --> 00:40:11,007
Bill: Proof positive.
(group laughing)
1091
00:40:11,076 --> 00:40:12,742
Jack: So here's where
that record light goes, man,
1092
00:40:12,811 --> 00:40:13,810
Right there,
on the outside there.
1093
00:40:13,878 --> 00:40:15,879
Look at it.
Danielle: Holy schmokes.
1094
00:40:16,081 --> 00:40:16,880
Jack: How cool is that?
Bill: I had no idea.
1095
00:40:16,948 --> 00:40:18,815
You've done it,
you've cracked the code.
1096
00:40:19,017 --> 00:40:20,617
Jack: That was it.
God put me on earth here
1097
00:40:20,685 --> 00:40:22,018
To just find that one thing.
1098
00:40:22,220 --> 00:40:24,687
(laughs)
danielle: I love how it says,
"record... Ing".
1099
00:40:24,890 --> 00:40:28,024
(laughs)
mike & bill: Record... Ing.
1100
00:40:28,226 --> 00:40:30,760
Mike: It's pretty cool to go
over the small details
1101
00:40:30,829 --> 00:40:32,895
With these guys,
because every time
1102
00:40:32,964 --> 00:40:35,231
We talk about one,
they get more excited.
1103
00:40:35,300 --> 00:40:37,967
And I get that, because this
is a big piece to the puzzle.
1104
00:40:38,035 --> 00:40:39,769
Jack: That's a little bit
come loose on there.
1105
00:40:39,971 --> 00:40:41,237
Jack: Oh there, you can
see the tooth.
1106
00:40:41,306 --> 00:40:43,506
Mike: Is it? Oh yeah,
there you go.
Here, you want this now?
1107
00:40:43,575 --> 00:40:44,373
Danielle: You got it!
1108
00:40:44,443 --> 00:40:45,842
Mike: If they really
wanna do this
1109
00:40:45,911 --> 00:40:47,443
And do it right,
they need this trailer.
1110
00:40:47,512 --> 00:40:48,711
And this is it.
1111
00:40:48,780 --> 00:40:51,014
Danielle: Yeah!
(group cheering)
1112
00:40:52,384 --> 00:40:54,717
Mike: If you would see this
on a lot for, I don't know,
1113
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:56,185
300 bucks,
you'd walk away from it.
1114
00:40:56,254 --> 00:40:59,122
Mike: This is all
gone down here,
this is all rotted out.
1115
00:40:59,324 --> 00:41:02,459
Mike: But it's the history,
it's the connection it's got
1116
00:41:02,661 --> 00:41:03,792
To the recording source.
1117
00:41:03,862 --> 00:41:06,061
And that's what makes
it priceless.
1118
00:41:06,130 --> 00:41:08,063
Mike: Dude, it's so cool.
Danielle: It looks so cool.
1119
00:41:08,132 --> 00:41:10,399
Danielle: It's so neat to see
them next to each other.
1120
00:41:10,469 --> 00:41:12,735
Jack: It's just great to find
these little...
Clues of the proof of it.
1121
00:41:12,938 --> 00:41:14,070
Mike: ...Little gangplank
right here.
1122
00:41:14,272 --> 00:41:15,872
Jack: I can't wait for us
to just bring this back to life
1123
00:41:15,941 --> 00:41:17,806
And have the first band
record through it,
1124
00:41:17,876 --> 00:41:18,941
And see what they're
gonna do with it.
1125
00:41:19,010 --> 00:41:20,677
Jack: The great thing
about it is we don't have
1126
00:41:20,745 --> 00:41:21,878
To do any restoration to this,
1127
00:41:21,947 --> 00:41:24,814
It looks exactly
like it did in the pictures.
1128
00:41:24,882 --> 00:41:25,748
(group laughing)
jack: Perfect shape.
1129
00:41:25,817 --> 00:41:27,216
Mike: At least you
have the bones.
1130
00:41:27,285 --> 00:41:30,019
Jack: Oh yeah.
Mike: You have the bones
to do it right now.
1131
00:41:30,087 --> 00:41:31,220
Jack: They're back together now,
we can start like,
1132
00:41:31,289 --> 00:41:33,956
Figuring out a restoration that,
you know, combines them both.
1133
00:41:34,025 --> 00:41:35,291
Jack: I want to get
to the future by embracing
1134
00:41:35,493 --> 00:41:38,628
The beauty of the past
and marrying it with
what's good right now,
1135
00:41:38,830 --> 00:41:39,829
And see if we can
find a new path.
1136
00:41:40,031 --> 00:41:42,231
This is one of those
ways you can do that.
1137
00:41:42,300 --> 00:41:44,100
Mike: I'm excited for you guys.
Danielle: Every piece of this
1138
00:41:44,302 --> 00:41:46,902
Has come together
just like a puzzle,
just like a story.
1139
00:41:46,971 --> 00:41:48,972
Danielle: It was meant
to be here with you.
1140
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:50,105
Jack: Yeah, it feels
that way, it really does.
1141
00:41:50,174 --> 00:41:54,510
Mike: I kind of just stood
back and watched it unfold.
1142
00:41:54,579 --> 00:41:55,912
And I'm really proud,
1143
00:41:55,981 --> 00:42:00,049
Seriously proud of dani
and robbie and dave.
1144
00:42:00,118 --> 00:42:02,118
Bill: The crazy thing
is that this is the first time
1145
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,854
These things have been together
in detroit in like 45 years.
1146
00:42:04,923 --> 00:42:06,589
Bill: We couldn't have
done it without you.
1147
00:42:06,658 --> 00:42:07,723
Mike: I can't believe we did it.
1148
00:42:07,792 --> 00:42:08,858
Danielle: I know,
I'm so excited.
1149
00:42:08,927 --> 00:42:09,858
(group laughing)
danielle: It's so exciting.
1150
00:42:09,928 --> 00:42:12,528
Mike: All of those guys
pulled together
1151
00:42:12,597 --> 00:42:13,997
And made this happen.
1152
00:42:14,199 --> 00:42:16,065
Danielle: This was awesome.
Jack: It was excellent.
1153
00:42:16,133 --> 00:42:17,400
Jack: When I play live shows,
how cool would it be
1154
00:42:17,469 --> 00:42:20,136
If this thing was up and running
and we could pull over
to milwaukee
1155
00:42:20,338 --> 00:42:23,072
Or to des moines or something
and record a show on the tour,
1156
00:42:23,274 --> 00:42:24,673
And release it on vinyl through
the plant and everything.
1157
00:42:24,742 --> 00:42:25,742
I mean, how cool would that be?
1158
00:42:25,944 --> 00:42:28,210
It's just another way
to inspire us,
1159
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:31,147
To get us thinking about doing
things we wouldn't normally do.
1160
00:42:31,216 --> 00:42:33,950
Jack: That would be amazing
to see that just kind of pull up
1161
00:42:34,019 --> 00:42:35,284
At a venue and then we can
just plug in and record.
1162
00:42:35,353 --> 00:42:36,986
