This sprawling salvage yard in Alabama, US, is filled with rare and valuable vintage motorcycles.
It spans a massive five acres and is packed with 4,000 bikes.
It was described by the YouTuber exploring it as a ‘piece of heaven’.
With row upon row of classic motorcycles – it’s clear to see why.

The epic salvage yard
Per Motorcycle Rewind, he is overtly ‘NOT AN EXPERT’, rather ‘just a guy in his garage working on old motorcycles’.
However, that doesn’t mean his videos of working on, riding, and discovering vintage motorcycles aren’t fascinating for his 15.6K subscribers.
This video of an ‘epic’ salvage yard was posted back in January 2024.
In similar news, this sprawling salvage yard is filled with desirable cars and could be the largest junkyard left in the United States.
The vintage motorcycles
However, far from a mere sightseeing project the YouTuber plants to come back with a truck and trailer and tow away some potential restoration gems.
“A testament to motorcycle history. Every rusted part and dusty seat tells a story, and we’re here to uncover them,” he explains.
“It’s about preserving the legacy of these two-wheeled wonders and bringing them roaring back to life.”
Notably, amid the overwhelming lot, the content creator discovers several 1984 Honda Elite scooters with flip-up headlights.
Vintage finds include several Honda CB750, and Honda Trail 70, and despite being weathered many are in surprisingly good shape.
He also discovers Kawasaki and Yamaha models as well as tools, bike frames, and parts – including carbs, side covers, and motorcycle tanks – hidden in the yard.
Not every savage yard find is as marketable, like this salvage yard in Arizona which was weirdly trying to sell two-thirds of a C8 Chevrolet Corvette.
However, you can strike lucky like this guy who found a real Lightning McQueen NASCAR in a salvage yard and bought it for a steal.
