These YouTubers pulled 12 abandoned motorcycles out of some woods in Florida, but soon rather into some problems.
In what may be the biggest motorbike haul ever, Resurrected Garage drove five hours into the Sunshine State for the opportunity.
It was bound to be a lot of work to get a dozen of them onto a trailer, but we wonder if they knew it’d be this challenging.
But where’s there a will, there’s a way.

Retrieving abandoned motorcycles
Getting the bikes onto the trailer is no picnic, for a start.
A lot of them are covered in branches and obscured from access, requiring the team – Daniel and Brittany Anderson – to start removing them.
Fortunately, they had a lot of winch cables on hand to help them out.
First up, they had a Kawasaki triple.
These bikes were produced between 1968 and 1980, and were a smash hit with customers.
Over the years, they’ve developed a reputation among bikers for their unmatched acceleration – the H2 could travel a quarter mile in 12 seconds – and having an air of danger about them.
Getting the Kawasaki and the other bikes onto the trailer wasn’t easy, and required a lot of elbow grease.
Especially with an attentive dog rushing around with a squeak toy in its mouth.
But it’s so cute, I think we can all forgive it.
We tend to go easy on dogs, even when they’re ‘recklessly driving’ in Walmart parking lots like this pooch.
What went wrong on the drive home?
After a long and tiring day, all the bikes were loaded and ready to be taken home.
But a smooth trip home wasn’t on the cards.
As they were pulling into a gas station, the brake caliper on the passenger side blew out.
They had to improvise in order to get themselves home.
Daniel told his viewers: “I’m going to cap off the line so it’ll hold fluid, so we can get it back home and fix it properly.”
Brittany noted: “No, this is not the correct fix. This is a ‘Get you home’ fix.”
We all like a quick fix that gets the job done, but some are more creative than others – like using rice to fix an EV for example.
But it gets the job done and they managed to complete their homeward bound trip.
