My stable of motorcycles

rickyboy · 02-16-2011, 02:56 AM

Every once in a while I add a bike to my collection of "folk art motorcycles". Not sure of the scale, but the wheels al roll and the bikes are mad of metal. They aren't in exact proportion but i think they're kind'a cool.

Mine a free roaming all over the house and shop ;)

One day I shall gather them all for a group photo ;)

Your doing something wrong. My wife has one square foot next to the bedroom TV and I have the rest of the house. Oops, here she comes, gotta run.

Loafer · 02-16-2011, 08:36 AM

Yeah right! :)

When she likes riding as much, this was easy ;)

Nice collection of model antique motorcycles.

Those are really neat Rick, where do you find them?

Thanks everyone. I think they're cool.

Steve ......I pick them up at a place, that my wife frequents often, and drags me to every once in a while, called Home Sense. There are a few out here and wouldn't doubt they're scattered across the country.
..........I just did a search and was correct. They are everywhere incl. Newmarket Ontario. Maybe you've been there/seen it.

beware though!! If your spouse is anything like mine,... going there with her might cost you more than what a folk art motorcycle is going to cost. They're cheap. $25.-$30.
Having said that about going with your wife and that mine "drags me there". She bought me the last one yesterday.

**ringadingh** · 02-16-2011, 11:14 AM

We do have a Home Sense store here, less than five minutes away. I rarely if ever go there, but my wife goes there. I'll take a look when I go by oneday.

**Top Cat** · 02-16-2011, 03:54 PM

Nice bikes Rick. I collect 1/18th scale bikes from Ebay and what ever else I find I think is cool. Never heard of the store you mention. Must be a Canadian thing ;)

Rick,

Nice collection. I don't have any like that but I do have a number of small motorcycle figurines. Wife like the Betty Boop Motorcycle series of stuff.

Man there is a load of that kind of thing around! I liken Betty Boop to Harley Davidson. They have their name and bar/shield on everything from hats to T-shirts, and coffee cups. Not to mention trucks. Betty Boop character is on a ton of stuff too.
