arn find. It’s one of those dream scenarios a lot of motorcycle enthusiasts think about, especially those into vintage bikes. Most have their special list of desirable — and probably rare and expensive-to-buy — two-wheelers, and the thought of finding one for sale for not a ton of money in someone’s barn or garage is always there. Of course, it never really happens, right? Those are just stories you read about, eh? As the guy who devours every book or magazine on motorcycles he can find, I dreamed the same dreams…and never thought I’d find myself on the lucky end of the classic “barn find” situation. It just doesn’t happen.
