Dennis Dambrauskas says Mike Wolfe of the History Channel's "American Pickers" show has been wanting to step foot in his Beverly Shores warehouses for decades.At 8 p.m. Wednesday, viewers will see that dream come true, as the show airs a visit that Wolfe and co-host Frank Fritz took to Dambrauskas' property in February. "I've known Mike Wolfe for over 20 years," said Dambrauskas, 68, from inside of his warehouses loaded from floor to roof with car parts, bodies of Porsche roadsters, chasses from Corvettes, motorcycle frames — even the side of an airplane and a 40-foot Navy utility boat that was brought to the area from Pearl Harbor, Hawaii."The difference between Mike Wolfe and myself is that when he walks into a building, he's looking for a certain item. When I walk into a building, I ask how much they want for all of it," he said. As a result, Dambrauskas, who says he has been collecting and "treasure hunting" since he was an 18-year-old kid in Miller, has amassed a vast inventory of mostly car and motorcycle parts, but also some unique items, including beams from a Studebaker factory built in 1861 to build wagons for the Civil War.Dambrauskas spent a lifetime collecting such objects of desire

He was offering $25,000 and we were not in agreement," he said.Even though the "American Pickers" team brought seven trucks to collect items, and 15 staff members, twice the normal amount, to see Dambrauskas' collections, they left with only a few items and he says he's happy with that."

How many people get to be on national television in their lifetime? And I don't do this for the money.

High to low rating Low to high rating I purchased these to replace a set I have on my bike . When I purchased the old ones I was told they would not fade and will last . Well its been a year and they are falling apart and they faded really bad . When I received the Classic Moto Gear bags I was very impressed with the feel of the bags . You can tell right away how much better built they are . Thick and well made . The stitching looks and feels very sturdy. The bags come with a handle to carry bags . I put them on my bike and what a difference , they look great . The built in storm shield will give much more visibility at night and during inclement weather .

VERY IMPRESSED cant wait to order the tail bag to match the saddle bags . GREAT JOB , Juan. didnt think they would work so well, but they fit perfectly on my Honda Silverwing.easy to install, the quick release is perfect, im ordering 2 more sets for friends and have told the entire Honda Silverwing community about them, they look great and don't interfere with the lights or anything but the plus of these bags is that the straps can hold another bag donw on the back seat making them really really versatile to have I put these saddle bags on my Christmas list, but with the inexpensive price tag I wasn't sure what the quality was going to be. After receiving them, I was extremely happy with the quality, the fit, the ease of installation, and the overall size as well. Would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for high quality inexpensive saddle bags! - Chris (Yorktown, VA) I was sorely in need of saddle bags for my bike, and my husband bought these for me as a surprise.

They are perfect for errands around town, but great for travel as well. They have deep capacity with a small profile. I love the reflective material on the back, and that they are removable and portable if needed. I would definitely recommend these bags to others! Nice bags with good capacity, easily to adjust to a wide variety of motorcycles. Like the zipper arrangement, particularly for gloved hands. Mount securely, seem to retain their shape when empty. You can pay more but why would you want to? Just wish they have a larger variety of tail & sissy bar bags. Don't see your shop? Don't see your shop listed?
