is a he a collector or a hoarder? the only pic that makes me think he's not a hoarder is him using that terminal at the end
it looks like he ambushed a shipment of ducati parts. is he a pirate?

wow, what a fun treasure trove
I'd pay admission to spend time just poking through that stuff.
Museums of clean, perfect stuff can be too sterile. Everything here has a story we could all relate to.
That's why it's fun to visit a junkyard every now and again and see the special stuff that hides among the thickest brush, even if it is no longer salvageable. :)

Gowie sold his business about ten years ago and did indeed move down south where he bought a farm that had some large sheds so he could put a few bits and pieces in them. He used to go to Italy and was well known at the factory as he used to buy NOS parts and I believe he ended up with a shipload of all the old stock, he use to call in at his old shop to see how Mike Soderland (new owner) was going but Mike moved to a new premises so I don't know if he still does that anymore.
He has been seen at the Ducati Owners Club of New South Wales (DOCNSW) Concourse where he sets himself up in a Marquee with a few special parts like Tanks, Barrels, Heads, Coils stuff like that, really nice bloke to talk to, you could say he is the ultimate Ducati enthusiast.
