This House Is Filled With Rare Harleys and Indians

Buildings can often be overlooked, just part of the daily background, until you discover the hidden treasures inside. And that’s exactly what happened in Staten Island, New York, when the latest episode of Hagerty’s Barn Find Hunter explored an unassuming house and uncovered a collection of over 40 historic motorcycles.

This remarkable collection belonged to a couple of motorcycle and car enthusiasts who did everything together. In addition to their shared passion, they also collected and stored these bikes throughout their home. Sadly, Walter, one half of the duo, recently passed away, leaving his wife with the bikes. As a tribute to him, his ashes now rest inside an Indian fuel tank, displayed prominently in the living room.

Rob Ida, a friend of the couple, provided insight into their lifelong love for motorcycles and introduced Tom to Kathy, the surviving partner. Kathy gave an extensive overview of the bikes in the collection, including a stunning Vincent Black Shadow displayed in the living room. The collection also includes a 1959 Cadillac, a 1951 LS-swapped Mercury coupe, and countless Harleys and Indians.

Among the noteworthy motorcycles are a 1911 Harley-Davidson LAPD bike with a leather belt drive, a 1926 Harley board tracker, a 1910 Harley, several Indian four-cylinders (including one that was Walter’s personal favorite, never to be sold), an XR1000, two Super Glides, a Silent Grey Fellow, and much more.

While the collection lacks the iconic Harley-Davidson Servi-Car, it does feature a 1940 Indian Dispatch-Tow, a similar concept to the Servi-Car. Another interesting find is the Harley-Davidson Pacer, a two-stroke machine produced from 1962 to 1965 as part of a series from Allied motorcycle manufacturers.

The motorcycles are found throughout the house, from the dining room to the living room, as well as in the garage and basement. This house truly exemplifies the love and passion for motorcycles.
