Abandoned bike graveyard frozen in time was man’s ardour however left to rot

Motorcycle enthusiasts of a nervous disposition look away now, what you are about to see may break your heart.

This is a selection of images taken at Kohl’s Cycle Sales in Lockport, NY, which had been abandoned after its business owner ran into financial issues. Despite selling off a percentage of the stock, many of the bikes turned into rusting ruins in the dilapidated building. Thanks to urban explorer Matthew Christopher of Abandoned America, the Daily Star is able to show you some the neglected collection of vehicles. Matthew said: “I’ve spoken with numerous motorcycle enthusiasts since and they are always heartbroken that these vintage, hard to find relics were left to rot and ultimately were scrapped.

Matthew is an avid trekker to abandoned sites across the world and has a regular podcast where he tells the story of the ruins he visits.
