BRONX EPISODE #1 WITH RAY ROSA, R.I.P. MR KIM WE LOVED YOU. czcams.com/video/UK2viWxJ6E8/video.html
🙏
Did Mr.Kim die?
@@michellepatrick5175 yes he was very old
How much all together in dollars
Id love to hang out with Ray he seems like a cool cat
How could u not love Ray. Seems like a real great guy. I hope he finds the greener pastures that do exist still in America.
I like what he said about his Cat 🐈⬛. .. lil bastard has a demon lol. … if he gets out have to chase him all over the Bronx 🤣🤣
I love Ray and think hes a great guy and WILL find greener pastures in America providing its not taken over by a corrupt Authoritarian Dictator.
@@gregtenney7279 it cant be. the second amendment exists. and the second amendment is the muscle for the first. we will be a great place till long after we die.
agree
@@aylahughes9185 free to kill ourselves. The US leads the world in deaths due to firearms and the most school shootings. Two people have more money than 40 percent of the population combined. You're poor, will die in debt and leave nothing for your children. Your family will never build lasting wealth. We rank 11th in science education and 30th in math. We don't take care of our homeless or veterans (often one and the same) and you can have heath insurance as long as you're working but if you get too sick to pay the premium you'll have to give up EVERYTHING you've ever earned to qualify for medicaid. But you have your guns. So.... freeeedom! Pew pew
This guy sounds like Joe Pesci. (from home alone movie) and i like it😂
Lol
He sure did but the difference is that thankfully Joe Pesci is NOT a trump supporter. Loves the peoples right to vote and believes and has READ...The Constitution of the United States.
🤣
I think we all know who Joe Pesci is and he was in a lot better moves then Home Alone...LOL
I agree
We often never know what gems are in hiding in the city. No barns, just awkward spaces. Good stuff!
Reminds me of a place me and my buddy came across about 15 years ago. I drove 2 hours to visit him at university where he was studying engineering, and his father called us and said "I came across a news paper post about a guy in the area of the university that has a few old junker cars in the woods that can be stripped of parts", at the time he was looking for a solid roof for a 55 chef 2 door post. We drove about 30 miles into the woods on a little twisty winding road in the middle of nowhere and found this little single story, 1 bedroom home that was atleast 100 years old. A little old man and old lady in their 80s lived there. Out back was a ridiculously big 1 story barn that very clearly had pieces added many times over the years, with a dirt floor. Out back was a bunch of old junk cars, some fixable , some completely toast but we got the parts. Asked him why he never moved them inside years ago to save them when he said he had no room. Took us in this super old barn that was almost falling in around itself to see ATLEAST 75 carsfrom 1915 to 1970, and about 30 bikes from the 30s to 60s and all or them absolutely mint (and covered in dust) but very obviously in his old age they too were starting to get neglected a bit. There were car companies and motorcycles that I have never even heard of in there, it was incredible. It was the most amazing thing I had ever seen, cars everywhere, some that were so far back they hadn't moved in 50+ years. I'd assume the man is no longer around, I'm 35 now, but man it was much like this fellas setup only in much worse shape. You couldn't give the property/home/barn away but to this day it was easily the coolest car/motorcycle find I've I've seen.
@@jonnymac8925 Dig it. Thanks for the visual.
It’s crazy how good of a person he is… you just don’t find people like him… so kind and generous
Sad seeing someone having to leave their lifetime home over this BS, god bless you Ray and you're welcome to anywhere down south here you want, I'm in Dallas area myself.
@jūn not in the dallas area worst thing we had was that freeze storm last year where we had no power for like 3 days
WE LOVE YOU RAY! THANKS FOR PICKING US TO HANDLE YOUR AWESOME COLLECTION. THEY WILL ALL BE RESTORED AND IMORTALIZED IN VIDEO AS WE FIND FOREVER HOMES FOR EVERY ONE. -SR
Thank you for giving my dad this opportunity! He’s always spoken well and highly of you guys. He’s a HUGE fan! It certainly will be something he’ll never forget. God bless
@@sallyliboy7105 Your Dad is really nice,you must be very proud of him.
Brilliant , feel so good seeing that old guy happy handing over his collection ,that wld destroy me I still have all my magazines starting from 1990,s ,lol 😆 good score there kaplan .
This is Awesome. Love it
@@sallyliboy7105 bless him and what a sweet guy 👌🏼
That Yamaha 80 is crazy! I raced against those in the early 70's. What a gem, and that seller is making a good move to get out of that hole of a city.
That'll be the first one to get #wizardtuned
@@KaplanCycles cool.
Back in the late 70,s in Australia where i grew up i bought one of those brand new..my dad put it in the back of his station wagon and drove it and me home from the Yamaha dealer.it cost me $380 dollars if i remember right i cant remember what year but in Australia they called it a GTMX80..it wasnt a real dirt bike it was a road model without all the lights didnt even have real knobbies just square cut trail/trials bought back memories thanks Cheers
@@IgmuTu1 Yeah my step-dad had the USA version in the 80's , Yamaha Gt 80
very slow and stalled out alot with basically zero power or top end lol
Remember the DS80 and JR80s ... no kidding my friends dad would leave us in a field all day with a jerrycan of premix and those 2 bikes to ride and it would handle being redlined and flat shifted from dawn to dusk .. You'd get charged with parental neglect if you did that these days, but to us it was the time of our lives
Man, just think of all the effort that it took him just to get all that stuff in there. I can't imagine the monumental effort it's going to take to get all that stuff out. I don't blame him for wanting to get out of the city. I wish you well. Ray
Factssss
You made his day helping him clear out the whole show.
The saddest thing about this is the fact that someone like Ray feels like he has to leave, or is being pushed out of a city that he has obviously lived his whole life in.....all those memories and a lifetime collection of his are gone. The whole world seems to be going to hell in a handbasket lately and is being forced into a very dark direction.
At least his stuff has gone to a good home. I hope you guys at Kaplan look out for Ray in the future. He's a real character, i bet he got some stories to tell! It would be interesting to see where he ends up moving to.
I think he said he wanted to go to Texas
@@pookiewookie7679, he said he wanted to go where Trump is but he's so politically unaware that he has no freaking idea where he is and thinks that he might be in Texas!?!
@Jeffrey's Broadcast, yeah right, but it's apparently ok with him to sound like a dummy though. Being a lifelong resident of New York city he should be aware that Donald Trump was famous, or actually infamous for stiffing people and not paying them for services that he hired them for. Then of course he doesn't have a problem paying people to keep them quite about anything that he doesn't want known. And of course he's also famous for the Central Park Five case but Ray seems to be oblivious of all of it, even though he must have been living there at the time, and thinks that Trump is great.
Dude, it's a story about a man with a passion for motorcycles. Chill with the political shit so what the man likes TRUMP move on. Maybe buy a 2stroke and be happy. Piece Bro 🙏
@@theenforcer5886 I'm not sure who your comment was aimed at there, my original comment or @Jim Wheelers.
Ray seems like a trip he seems like a really great guy you don't meet people like that everyday
RAY IS A BLESSING TO ALOT OF PEOPLE, DONT TAKE HIM FOR GRANTED SMART MAN & A HARD WORKING MAN 🤙🏼
We need more people in the world like Ray. Such a like able person
What a score! And what an awesome guy Ray is!
Ray is the real deal. Last of a dying breed. Old school hard working honest American
Ray is a legend.
Oh, man! This blows my mind.... The possibilities that lay in there... Just one basement in a huge city.... I can't even imagine how many more incredible things are out there.
He's a proper legend, for real!
What a awsome, awsome guy Ray is.....so wild that he's collected all this for YEARS !!!! He's making the best decision though ✌
That apartment or should I say garage just kept getting bigger and bigger. Definitely one of the coolest homes I’ve seen. The fact he had a place that big in the Bronx and that many bikes and parts packed is insane.
Three cheers for Ray . A keeper ,and a collector of all things motorcycle. The city will be worse without him...
That's fantastic, Ray is a Riot, what a guy, he can pack some stuff away for sure, great Video...
Wow this is the first video I've seen from you guys and I'm instantly hooked , Ray seems like one of those guys you could spend all day listening to
Man! This is what I go to CZcams to watch! Your videos are awesome. Love how you showed the old pick connection at the intro. Thank you! So cool to watch! Great guy also, wish him the best!
This was absolutely awesome and Ray seems like an awesome guy and friend to have! Everything he said is spot on! It's a crime what's happened to the city and don't know that it'll ever be the same again. I grew up just outside the city.
So crazy! Goes to show there’s so much old stuff hidden and tucked away and places no one would ever expect! One hell of a collection
Man what a gold mine👍👍he don't need to go south, he'd fit right in at the museum as the maintenance man or something.. what a character
Ray could be the Building Wizard!
@@savage22bolt32 lmao, right 🤣
I lived on Tiebout ave between 183rd and 184th. I cant believe that guy was not far from me. His place is like a wonderland
He doesn’t want to be a prisoner with all that anymore.. I can totally relate .
Ray Rosa is such a great guy, he should have his own show & Ken Jr is a true gentleman. This episode & the adventure at Mr. Kim's were two of my favorites. Excellent job guys
I always enjoy the pick videos you guys do but this is the best one yet. There is also two very valuable things to take away from this video. The first is just how important it is to build friendships and relationships when doing business and you guys prove that you are good people in your relationships with people you do business with. The second thing is listening to a life long New Yorker who tells you he is fleeing the city he knows and loves. If people like this are packing up and leaving you should really be paying attention and heeding their warning. There is so much to be learned here and Sr should be really proud watching this video. God bless America, it’s gonna need all the help it can get if this continues!!!!!
This guy is such an amazing guy and I wish everyone surrounds them selves with people with hearts like his the world would be a better place you guys just made his year and everything you guys do is so great as well this content made me happy to see. Moto history saved and great people nothing better.
You've heard of barn finds. Great Bronx find! Ray is awesome. Very likeable fellow. We would be instant friends. Thanks for letting him talk. Ray is fun and inspiring to listen to. Some awesome bikes and parts too. Looks like they are going to the right place!
Freakin incredible boys! Crazy to think where people store their stuff!
This is normal in the city. I’ve seen cars stored the same way. It’s crazy how tight big cities are, and how creative people get. Definitely not something you would see in the south. Lol.
You should see my barn or my garage or my former hobby workshop! I you can get something for cheap and you like it, you cant say no!
Ray is a hidden gem guys like him need a CZcams channel
Definitely.. Is one of a kind..
I left New Yorkistan nearly 10 years ago. Born and raised in The Bronx. I miss my city, but don't miss the BS and lefties that ruined it. NYC will forever have a special place in my heart. I completely understand why Mr. Ray wants to GTFO of that place. I wish him all the best and the Kaplan's all the best wishes with their new MC treasures. Godspeed, Mr. Ray!
God bless ray! He seems like a genuinely good human being
The Kaplan boys have the best job on the planet. Not just for the bikes but the interesting people and placesalong the way. What a journey Ken could write a book on this stuff. Maybe he should lol.😁👍
Some cool bikes in there. Ray seemed like a cool guy too.
Ray is the man, “ just take it my friend you have all the bikes “. You need to put him on your channel.
A legend of a Man in my opinion. Wishing you the best of luck Ray.
It's so cool being able to walk around Ray's apartment/shop with you guys and see all the amazing stuff. He has one large collection of everything. So much fun. He is a real nice guy. Another great video. Thanks for sharing
Omg all those speedos and cables will come in handy.
This is an amazing collection of bikes and parts! New York is like a mass exodus, everyone is leaving.
This state is getting worse by the day. I can only look to retirement before I can leave, wish I could now
@@jcmoney4125 Same
Leave your leftists politics behind. Otherwise you"ll end up turning your new location into the same shit hole that your fleeing.
California is the same way. Both are the biggest Democrat controlled, Homelessness and drug filled over populated and expensive. I am getting out of here next year.
Foreigner here (not US) Would you be so kind to explain me what the man intend to say with "NY is done", What's the meaning? Is Covid related? Political? Crime? Taxes?
Ray Rosa is a very nice and funny guy. You can tell that he takes pride in all of those bikes he had. Very interesting tour of that Neverending Basement, downstairs.
Bikes went to the right place and all the parts going out to people who are going to use them to get bikes on the road where they should be,, brilliant video ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️from Northern Ireland
Ray you are a great person a legend with a heart of gold wish you well on your life's endeavours god bless you brother 🤙🇭🇲👍
I thought Joe Pesci was talking the whole time some very nice bikes ready to see the day light again
What an interesting positive guy. We need more like him.
Unreal, what a great guy Ray and the all of those who made it happen. one serious great video!
Wow, what an awesome collection of Moto parts and bikes all in one location. I can totally relate to this man and I'm immediately saddened that I haven't met him and known him in all my years. He seems like a genuinely great man. I hope he finds a great home soon down south. I know NC would love to have him and his family! God bless, thanks for this video.
You are so cool Ray! More power to you and your family. Wish I met you when I was in New York.
Im impressed at how well Ray knows his inventory!
This has got to be the coolest guy ever I wanna meet him and buy some spare parts and engines off him and tools he’s so nice I love mechanic dudes like this so happy to show everyone who’s happy to see his stuff reminds me of me lol
First time I've come across the channel and this video is an instant-sub! What a wild journey seeing what was stored in this place an Ray's a real character! God bless y'all and God bless America.
Same
same
Amen! God bless America
lets go brandon! this guys life was stored in that apt, crazy.
still up @ 5:30 am,
seen this an sat an watched it all the way thru what a treasure chest of toys he had here oh my lord.. i got weak in the knees when yall pulled out the old 80s an that gem of a benelli.
Ray was absolutely stellar!!! I bet that guys got some great stories to tell. Love to sit down and listen to his tales from the Bronx.
Imagine if he lived out on a farm how massive his museum would be!
Holy cow! I could only dream of a collection like that. I hope most of it gets put back to use or passed on to other people.
Well, I agree with Ray 100%
After watching this video a fifth time you guys have to make a video of Ray coming to the museum.
@@jerrygriffin7629 absolutely 💯 agree for sure 😆
My wife and her family are from the Bronx and they are some of the greatest people i know.. I hear this guy talking and it brings me back. He is so humble, good luck on your move..
We need someone like this guy with his enthusiasm to work in our woodworking shop in Charleston sc.
That was the fastest 19:29 ever! Ray is what America is all about and one of the few New Yorkers that could own guns!
I could listen to ray all day man. What a good guy!
Holy Lord this guys place goes on for days... and so does his inventory! Unreal! Had that yellow 80 when I was a kid... never forget that silly Exhaust pipe cover.
Grab the Teeter! I need one!! Awesome pick guys! The bikes are the goal but the people make the story! God bless you all and Ray.
haha Sr texted me the same thing earlier. God bless brother -Jr
Ray you are an absolute tonic! 👍 I'm sorry New York is not the same, I visited a few years ago and I absolutely loved everything about it! Hopefully it will recover soon! 😊 👍
Fabulous episode , I so loved this one ! Thank you !
This dude had me rollin the first 10 seconds he started talking
A True Bronx guy!!! What a trip of a video! This man has a heart of gold! So true what he said about N.Y.C. I’ll keep my political comments out of this but there was a time when the Bronx was beautiful. I’m third generation Bronx native. Makes me sad for the better days…. Glad the bike went to you gentlemen.
Jr you have a super kind and humble personality bro 💙 this is a great episode 👍🏼
If the world had lots more Ray's in it he wouldn't have to leave his home. What a lovely genuine guy
Awesome, Love it ! Thanks Ray !
I had the same XL250 ... I used to ride it to the front of my property to check the mail.
Kicking myself for selling it. That one is in way better condition though. Shame l live in Australia, l'd buy it.
They ship!
But it might take a while.
Ray is a real character! Some kind of crazy collection of bikes & parts he's had stashed away. That's a lot of stuff to paw through...
Another quality video guys. I can't believe that place he has! What a guy Ray is! Best of luck to him.
I love this guy. Wherever Trump is, that's where I'm going
Hell yea Brother MERICA yeep yeeep looks like your going to Florida my guy dios te bendiga
This is amazing. this just shows that there are people who don't let their environment stop them from their passion. who'd ever think that there would be a motorcycle collection in a Bronx apt. building.
This is my favorite KAPLAN AMERICA video yet! I hope that guys starts his own CZcams channel cause he certainly got the personality to have a lot of followers. It's sad thou that he feels the need move out of New York and go down south! At least his all his babies are gonna find nice new homes now!
This is amazing he's an amazing dude
Freakin Awsome, what a great guy and what a great pic.
The smile at 1340 pure epic just that's it right there the turn of the head and the smile to the camera straight love nothing better that was an awesome moment whoever was filming and captured that well done
What a lovable dude! lol He knows a lot and has a lot of amazing stuff. Best quote "New York is Done" - Ray.
Pretty cool NewYorker,he has so much cool stuff but a little disorganized. Fun vlog,he's not the only 1 moving.Come to Florida bro!
Awesome place! Great guy, you guys must’ve had a blast there!
Lil guy huge heart as usual with team Kaplan on a treasure hunt for the good Japanese vintage!
That guy is a guy I want to take a beer with....he have some shop stories.
And he seems like a good guy
Take it all hope you guys started building that minibike for him what an awesome find
I'm on the hunt! -Jr
What a score good on you boys keep em coming👍🇦🇺
Thanks for tuning in Sean. -Jr
Always brother, this channel is awesome the bikes you find just blows my mind haha👍
Oh my god , what a down to earth guy. RAY fkn legend. Such a honest guy not a bad bone in his body. I love to go for a few beers with Ray. Bet he has a few stories. All the best guys from 🏴🏴🏴
What a cool guy. Whatever state gets him is very LUCKY!
Nice score. Ray has good advice.
lots of wisdom for sure
Hey that was a great episode! Nothing like a happy Patriot! I hope Ray finds his happy place out of the rat race! God bless all!
That's awesome I can't believe he fit all that down there, how many times I've walked by there and never knew just the knowledge he has. Everyone's leaving here in NY
you guys are incredible! I can't wait to come to the museum. Love what you guys do, I hope the museum is still expanding, I'm broke and I donated 20 bucks for the first time ever. I hope you guys met the goal you were going for. Good things should happen for good people like you guys.. Thanks again for all the content and effort. I truly appreciate it along with many others. God Bless America.
Thank you we appreciate it! we raised $57,000 of the #130,000 we need o do the roof so far, half way there!
Ray is absolutely amazing. Seems super honest and upfront. Great video as always. SR and Jr love the vids bois
Now this just made my day 😀 ( and I had a really shitty day )
Loved this video, Ray is a true New Yorker, a guy with a heart of gold, it’s a shame he is leaving, but we got thousands of other Rays here and we are gonna make our city great again, we just gotta get the right leadership with the secret weapon, COMMON SENSE ! God bless you, and God bless Ray
Ya good luck with that
Yeah goodluck but its too far gone
I don't know how I came across this but I'm glad i did this gentle men is a true new Yorker and when guys like this leaves he takes a peace of New york with him I miss real old school guys like this guys like him raised me to be a man good video.
