Oh dear. It should be subtitled, "How to show your ignorance."
I got 19 minutes in and having cringed so much, I had to stop after they claimed that the US had invented Imperial size ratchet drives.

They did also say the British are very clever people;; or used to be;
Having owned a Mk3 Commando back in the 70's, I'm not really inclined to agree with that either.
What a pair of American cocks
"Bikes and Beards"? Says it all. They paid $17k for it ...

With out a doubt.
If you have a desire for a Commando and have the cash, there's this one... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/18580009...O5H3rpAh1FcGa5Yksc7DTsCQ==|tkp:Bk9SR7z41_raYQ
In the 80's there was a second hand shop in Sunderland that had been a motorcycle dealership in the 60' and 70's , when the owner died the building was in a right state but a number of crated bikes were discovered before it was demolished
Sure they were gt125 ,gt185 and other smaller stuff that obviously went unsold.
Stuff back then was often unsold as the models changed on a yearly basis and so got stuffed in warehouses and forgotten about
Which shop/dealership was that? I'm from Sunderland, so curious. I remember Croziers near the town centre. He was a strange old boy and had a load of old bikes in there.

That's the one ,couldn't rremember the name. I would describe him more of a cantakerous old b#gger and that is being polite.
When I worked there Kawasaki World was still on High Street West, there was a place next to Cinema at Park Lane /Holmside and Graham Little's was on the North side

His shop was piled deep and high. Most of it was left to rot as he didn't want to sell anything. Your description is accurate. I remember going in with my dad who asked about the price of a bike and was effectively told to bugger off. I bet most of what he guarded so zealously ended up as scrap as that terrace was derelict and crumbling by the time he died.
