Early motorcycle collections??

I watch the Pickers on TV and other motorcycle shows and I never see any 60's, 70's or early 80's husqvarna's?
I expect to see the 60' s Husqvarna anyway? These guys have tons of European bikes but no left kicker huskys.

one episode i saw a mid 80s 510 on the show, but it was just something the camera caught.

Might be just as well.....on pawn stars they butchered a 60's/70's husky for the road.

i remember that..they didnt put a chamber on it, which is just as bad as making a chopper out of it to begin with..it just had a straight header...

I don't even watch that show, but managed to see that episode. Crying shame....

I think they also put straight gas in as I recalled they seized it up solid in no time whatsoever

Bobber 390 on pawn stars.

Even Mecon car auction many cars are modified not orginal.

Pickers are pretty much Harley centric so they likely wouldn't know what to do with a dirt bike

But that Husqvarna 390 OR bobber will eat any Harley the pawn boys own.

I laughed about my sons Suzuki 400cc bandit with the 17,000 rpm redline. He'd eat any of those loud bikes.

In one Pickers show, they leaned up against a Toaster Tank BMW while they argued about a $25 widget.

On another Mike climbed up to an elevated rack of bikes that included a rare Norton P11, held on to it to steady himself while he asked about some other worthless trinket!

I was screaming at the TV: OPEN YOUR EYES YOU FOOL!!!

However I do recall Frank buying a seized Yankee for just a few hundred bucks once...but tough to get running much less restore unless you are dialed into the Yankee folks...oh well...

friend had these guys come to his place and pick....all pre staged...pre rehearsed...etc.

And that is what I meant by calling them Harley centric. They do not seem to care about any other motorcycles.
