And guys fret about riding on roads with salt on them. Those bikes and cars will never be the same after that. They'll start corroding from the inside, out. Man what a f'nn shame.,,

Man he has some nice stuff. I love that Henderson my grandfather had one. I am betting he will make it through it all and I bet he is the type that loves the challenge.

Ultimately mother nature is no joke.

No way in hell is he going to write those off and let them corrode away.

The cars will be a challenge but the bikes will be fine.

Some great hardware although I didn't see the big knuckle depicted at the top among the damaged merchandise.

Wow lots of damage...I wonder how Billy Joel made out? He lives on the water in the Hamptons on Long Island and has a killer collection of bikes.

Most of his bikes are in his museum in Oyster Bay on the north shore. He was selling his Hamptons home last year, not sure if he owns it any more.

That is just sad. I could not imagine having all of those fine bikes, but losing them would kill me.

Well they sound like they are in some loving hands. I think he will get them all taken care of.
