When Sport Wheels, the motorcycle salvage yard in Jordan, moved its entire inventory a couple miles up 169, they left this Honda 360 Super Sport.

Take a look at these photos and see if you can determine why.

Hint: it’s not a hidden defect.

Nor is the answer a gravity anomaly rendering objects in this spot immovably heavy. That, for purposes of this quiz, would be a hidden defect since only the really good gravitometers work off a lo-res internet photo.

I’ve seen tombstones like that, but never a motorcycle. Seems remarkable that it still has paint and a seat.?. Almost looks like you could liberate it and drive away.

Does look like it had/has a lot of salvageable parts. Tree likes it though and won’t be letting go soon.

Slick! That bike had to be sitting there for a reasonable period of time.
