JERSEY JON: Rolling, rolling.
MIKE: God dang, Jersey.
We gotta come back out here riding these roads on motorcycles, dude.

JERSEY JON: I’ll bring the Indian 4 out here.
MIKE: I’ve never ridden up here before.
JERSEY JON: I’ve been through here.
MIKE: Have you really?
JERSEY JON: Yeah, yeah.

MIKE: This is it right here.
There’s a barn.
Look at that barn.
That looks like an Iowa barn.

JERSEY JON: Let me get the flyer.
MIKE: Hey, hey!
I’m Mike.
LINDA: Hi, Mike.
MIKE: This is Jersey.

JERSEY JON: How you doing?
LINDA: Hi, Jersey!
MIKE: Hey.
What are you doing, cleaning this spot out for more motorcycles?
LINDA: Yep.

LARRY: I’m Larry.
MIKE: What a great barn.
Good to see you, Larry.
JERSEY JON: I’m Jon.
LINDA: Hi, Jon.
Nice to meet you.

JERSEY JON: This is cool.
LINDA: We have lots of cars and lots of motorcycles that need to go.
MIKE: Nice!
(laughing)

LARRY: Let me come down.
JERSEY JON: Yeah, she’s selling all your stuff, dude!
LARRY: I collect mostly motorcycles.

We race them in vintage races.
Motocross and Trials.

LARRY: I have every Japanese Trials bike made in the ’70s.
MIKE: No kidding.
JERSEY JON: Cool.
MIKE: And you’re racing them?
LARRY: Oh yeah.
MIKE: That’s very cool.
LARRY: About four times a year.

MIKE: God dang, I love that, man.
LARRY: It’s fun.
MIKE: That’s something I’ve never, never done.
But I remember watching it on television when I was a kid.
Wild World of Sports stuff.
Crazy stuff, you know.

LARRY: Now I get to own all the bikes I wanted when I was 16.
MIKE: Oh yeah.
Absolutely.

LINDA: Hey, I think you guys are good.
I think you guys are good.
I’m gonna leave you to it.
Sell something, please!

JERSEY JON: Thank you.
We’ll do our job.

LARRY: Alright, let me take you to the back and check out the—
MIKE: Alright, here it is.
Wow.

So what year is this, uh, this 500?
LARRY: That’s a 400.
It’s ’75.
MIKE: So you’re still riding this?
LARRY: It’s got a mono shock.
MIKE: Yeah?
LARRY: So you can’t run them in vintage.

JERSEY JON: ’75?
MIKE: So ’75 is the cutoff for vintage races you guys are doing?
LARRY: ’74.
MIKE: ’74 is okay.

<i>MIKE: Larry’s motorcycle passion is in the 1970s.</i>
<i>I’m remembering this stuff.</i>
<i>I remember what it sounds like.</i>

(mimics motor revving)

You know, all the two-stroke smoke.
The RMs running up and down the street.
The older kids scaring the crap out of us because they were so big and cool.
Doing donuts on the baseball field.
All that stuff, you know.

Jumping ramps.
We were doing all of that on our bicycles.
We were imagining ourselves being Roger De Coster.
Painting our bikes yellow and black.
Jumping over our friends.
Breaking our frames in half.

MIKE: Hey, I got a question for you.
How much is this?
(knocking)

LARRY: I don’t know.
Throw me an offer.
MIKE: It looks like something that came out of a conversion van or something.
A piece of the paneling.
LARRY: It’s definitely ’70s.

MIKE: Yeah, for sure.
I like the fact that he’s got the girl.
You usually just see him.
LARRY: Right.

MIKE: Wow.
This is the rare version, Jersey.
JERSEY JON: Yeah, with the girl?

<i>MIKE: We’re all on the memory-lane train.</i>
<i>All the motorcycles.</i>
<i>Reminiscing.</i>
<i>And then we look on the wall.</i>
<i>There’s the hieroglyphics from the 1970s.</i>
<i>The “Keep on Truckin’.”</i>

MIKE: 50 bucks.
LARRY: Okay.
MIKE: Alright, we’re doing it.
JERSEY JON: That thing’s killer.

MIKE: Very cool.

LARRY: Alright, this is a building I keep all my good stuff in.
MIKE: Okay, so this is everything that runs?
LARRY: Everything runs in here.

MIKE: God, I bet you never get tired of that view.
JERSEY JON: It’s gorgeous.
MIKE: Whoa.
Dang.

LARRY: This building’s bigger.
JERSEY JON: It’s a lot bigger in here than it looks—
MIKE: How many square feet?
LARRY: About 5,000?
MIKE: Wow.

What bikes are you—
LARRY: Everything with a number plate on, I race.
MIKE: Okay.

<i>JERSEY JON: This room is full of Larry’s pride and joy.</i>
<i>These are really super clean bikes.</i>
<i>They’re all vintage.</i>
<i>But they look brand new.</i>
<i>He’s taken a lot of time.</i>
<i>A lot of effort.</i>
<i>Every nut and bolt is tight.</i>
<i>These things are ready to ride.</i>

MIKE: This is cool.
Look at the condition this is in, Jersey.
LARRY: SL70.
MIKE: Yeah, that’s cool.
I remember these when we were kids, man.

JERSEY JON: What year is this?
LARRY: ’75.

<i>JERSEY JON: The Kawasaki KE series is one bike I’m really interested in.</i>
<i>It’s probably one of the longest runs Kawasaki ever made.</i>

JERSEY JON: Are you racing this still?
LARRY: No.
Not that one.
I have a bike I race.
This one’s too nice.

JERSEY JON: Is this for sale?
LARRY: No.
JERSEY JON: Aw, man.

MIKE: Is that original paint?
LARRY: Yes.
MIKE: Wow.
JERSEY JON: It’s so clean.

<i>MIKE: When you talk about selling something,</i>
<i>it sounds good.</i>
<i>But when someone shows up and says,</i>
<i>“Hey, I want to buy that,”</i>
<i>that’s when it becomes real.</i>
<i>He’s selling a few things.</i>
<i>But a lot of what we love,</i>
<i>he loves too.</i>

MIKE: How about this sign right here?
Whoa.
Porcelain.
LARRY: Is it?
MIKE: Oh yeah.
Double-sided.
LARRY: Double-sided.
MIKE: That’s the good side.

<i>MIKE: Greyhound has been around a very long time.</i>
<i>Before World War I.</i>
<i>Some of the coolest buildings in town</i>
<i>were Greyhound stations.</i>
<i>They had a look.</i>
<i>Like a dealership or service garage.</i>
<i>And some of them are still open today.</i>

MIKE: Would you sell that?
LARRY: If the price is right.
MIKE: 600 bucks.
LARRY: Okay.
I’ll do that.

MIKE: Alright, man.
Yeah, baby.
Appreciate it.

MIKE: Would you sell that?
LARRY: If the price is right.

MIKE: I know someone that’s restoring an old bus station right now.
LARRY: Oh, okay.
MIKE: Um… 600 bucks.
LARRY: Okay.
I’ll do that.
Cool.

MIKE: Alright, man.
Yeah, baby.
Appreciate it.

LARRY: So, this old guy we knew used to go to the Indy 500 every year.
MIKE: Yeah?
LARRY: And he worked for Bear.
MIKE: Oh, wow.

JERSEY JON: Whoa.
That is cool.

LARRY: At Bear, they wore those.
And I have the hard hat that goes with it.
MIKE: No way.
Those are cool.

JERSEY JON: Yeah, that is cool.

LARRY: This is his dealership.
MIKE: Oh, man.
LARRY: Periato & Son.
JERSEY JON: DeSoto.

LARRY: I was introduced to him, Marcel, by a friend of mine we rode motorcycles with.
He and his father would deer hunt up in the mountains.
Marcel owned the property.

JERSEY JON: Whoa.
Racing division.
MIKE: Racing division.

LARRY: As he got older, he was on the safety crew.
MIKE: Oh yeah.
LARRY: I actually got to go to the Indy 500 with him before he died.

MIKE: No way.
You did?
LARRY: Oh yeah.

<i>MIKE: Chain-stitched, automotive-related coveralls.</i>
<i>Shirts.</i>
<i>One’s got a dealership on the back.</i>
<i>This stuff gets me so jacked up.</i>
<i>I can’t wait to try it on.</i>

JERSEY JON: For sure.
MIKE: Look at that.
Jersey who?
JERSEY JON: Looks like crap on you, dude.
MIKE: Uh-huh.
JERSEY JON: It would look better on me.

<i>MIKE: Now we’re seeing a side of Larry we didn’t know existed.</i>
<i>The vintage clothing side.</i>
<i>The guy that cares about this kind of stuff.</i>
<i>It could’ve been thrown away.</i>
<i>But Larry saved it.</i>
<i>He’s got that big heart.</i>
<i>And he was connected to the person who owned it.</i>

MIKE: Grab those Barbour jackets too.
Did you see those, Jersey?
JERSEY JON: No.

<i>MIKE: Barbour and Belstaff are high-end motorcycle gear.</i>
<i>Quality stuff.</i>
<i>But it takes forever to break in.</i>

(growling)

MIKE: Look at that, Jersey.
JERSEY JON: You look pretty cool.
MIKE: Oh yeah.

<i>MIKE: When I’m putting these jackets on, that’s what I’m checking.</i>
<i>You can actually move in them.</i>
<i>New gear feels like armor.</i>
<i>These are already broken in.</i>

MIKE: Is this something you’d consider selling?
LARRY: I’ll sell one of them.
MIKE: And he would’ve worn this stuff at Indy?

LARRY: Every May.
For a month.
Bear would teach him how to use the newest alignment equipment.

MIKE: What year are we talking?
LARRY: He started in the ’30s.
MIKE: Wow.
LARRY: Mid-30s.

<i>MIKE: Bear basically invented alignment equipment.</i>
<i>They were the industry standard.</i>
<i>Every body shop.</i>
<i>Every service garage.</i>

MIKE: He was tall, man.
LARRY: Yeah, he was.

JERSEY JON: Was DeSoto a Plymouth dealer?
LARRY: Yeah.
JERSEY JON: Wow.
Cool.

MIKE: 550 bucks.
LARRY: 600.
I’ll throw in the hat.
MIKE: Try it on, Jersey.
LARRY: It’s been used.
JERSEY JON: It’s full of spiders, man.
You put it on.
(laughing)

MIKE: 600 bucks.
LARRY: Okay.
MIKE: Thanks, man.
I appreciate it.

This is so cool that you knew him for so long.
LARRY: I got to go to Indy with him.
MIKE: Everybody knew him there?
LARRY: Oh yeah.
MIKE: That’s so cool.
What year did you go?
LARRY: ’99?
MIKE: Wow.

<i>MIKE: The reason a collector doesn’t want to sell something</i>
<i>is because they’re emotionally and physically connected to it.</i>
<i>That tells me Larry is a passionate man.</i>

MIKE: Hey, hey.
Oh, you got my bicycle.

<i>MIKE: All of these things, he embraces.</i>
<i>Now he just needs his wife to do the same.</i>

LINDA: All this crap and he won’t sell a car.
He sells a bicycle.
MIKE: I had to buy something with two wheels.
(laughing)

MIKE: This side, Jersey.
JERSEY JON: I got you, bro.

LARRY: Linda was upset I kept the Volkswagen.
There are Cadillacs and Pontiacs back there.
Four-doors.
I’m never going to work on them.
I’ll get rid of them little by little.

JERSEY JON: Thank you so much.
LINDA: Oh, thank you.
JERSEY JON: Nice to see you.
Nice to meet you guys.

MIKE: Thanks for sharing your family’s history with us.
Hey…
it’s a slice of heaven here.
LINDA: I know.
MIKE: You’re very blessed.
LINDA: It’s God’s country.
MIKE: It is God’s country.

(honk, honk)

MIKE: See you down the road!
LINDA: I can’t believe you didn’t sell the car.
(laughs)
LARRY: Why would I sell the car?
I love my car.
