🏰 The Garage Kingdom
John doesn't just have a detached garage — he added on to it. That's the kind of energy we're dealing with. It's part showroom, part workshop, part dealership, part chrome-plating facility.
Honda Valkyrie
The flat-six beast. Chrome on chrome on chrome.
Honda Gold Wing
The touring throne. Two wheels, infinite comfort.
Honda Shadow
Classic cruiser. Probably has more chrome now than when Honda built it.
New Bronco
Big. Blue. Beautiful. The classic Bronco era kid finally got his modern beast.
Bright Green Mustang
Yes, bright green. You WILL see this car coming. No subtlety needed.
Lawn Tractors
A couple. Because one tractor is never enough when you have a garage to fill.
💰 The Bronco Fund™
The Legendary Windshield Incident
John once sold a spare motorcycle windshield to a buyer in Europe. It arrived completely smashed. Completely. Not "a little cracked" — we're talking puzzle-piece status. The story became immortal.
Buy. Sell. Chrome. Repeat.
Wheels, windshields, spare parts, chrome accessories — if it bolts onto a motorcycle or Bronco, John has probably bought and sold at least three of them. It's not just a hobby, it's an economic ecosystem powered by Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and sheer determination. This is how the Bronco Fund stays topped up: buy a part, sell a part, use the delta to buy something bigger. Every chrome accessory on those bikes? Funded by a wheel sale. Every Bronco upgrade? Financed by a trailer flip. The man is a one-person commodities exchange for motor vehicles.
Die Cast Empire (1:18 Scale)
John has a serious collection of 1:18 scale die cast model cars — and he doesn't just collect them, he trades them. Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, collectors who know what they're looking for. If you need a specific model in a specific color from a specific year, John probably knows a guy. (He IS the guy.)
🎯 When He's Not in the Garage
Group Rides
Motorcycle rides with his "friends." The quotes are his, not mine — but they seem like real friends.
Card Night
Monthly game night. What happens at card night stays at card night. (Unless someone loses badly, then everyone hears about it.)
Pickleball
The fastest-growing sport in America. John was probably playing it before it was cool.
Foosball
Table football. Where the spins are questionable and the victories are legendary.
⛺ Scout Dad Hall of Fame
Before the Bronco Fund and the motorcycle fleet, there were Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, wrestling tournaments, and one very dedicated dad who showed up for all of it.
Wrestling Tournaments
Weekend warrior dad mode. Drove to every tournament. Probably gave better pep talks than the coach.
Cub Scouts
First adventures. First badges. First time realizing Dad can build literally anything.
Boy Scouts
Camps. Hikes. Fires. Knots that nobody remembers how to tie anymore. Dad knew them all.
Pinewood Derby
The block of wood + 4 wheels + gravity = the most intense Saturday morning of the year. Dad's aerodynamic advice was on point.
"It's not hoarding if it's motorcycles and die cast cars. It's curating."
