One thing is clear: HGTV fans are loving the new series Castle Impossible. And while only one episode remains (sob!), there's still a lot to talk about as Daphne Reckert and Ian Figueira join forces to renovate a 500-year-old castle.
During the series, the couple, who inherited the property outside of Paris from Daphne's grandfather, have been on the hunt for treasure. And while the rumored treasure has not been found, the chateau is teeming with incredible finds, from a cast-iron bathtub to an antique music box. But one item in particular got fans of the series talking.
On the episode titled "A Fairytale Mending: The Enchanted Castle Workshop," Daphne and Ian set about renovating a stable into a workshop for all of their projects. They're working with a tight budget but are forced to replace some rotten flooring.

In preparing for the renovation, Ian uncovered a Honda motorcycle. Daphne thought she might have thrown away the key by mistake, and Ian said, "I don't have any words to respond to that." They eventually find the key and Ian takes it for a spin around the property.
Ian explains that he has an olive green Italian motorcycle back in California and says he misses it every day. Daphne suggests that they sell it to help them pay for some of the unexpected expenses in the renovation, and they'll get him a bike later. Daphne said she "really, really appreciates the sacrifice" he made.

Daphne and Ian shared photos from the project on Instagram and they were bombarded with comments about the motorcycle: "I so wanted you to keep the motorcycle. He deserves it," one fan said. Another wrote, "Sooooo sad Ian couldn't keep the motorcycle 🏍️ 🥺 but he looked happy driving it around for a few minutes." Others commented, "It's a pity that Ian had to sell the motorcycle:)❤️❤️❤️" and "I admire what you are doing. Let Ian get a motorcycle!"
But Daphne jumped in the comments section to let everyone know that another motorcycle is in the works. She said, "don't worry, Ian has started searching for a 1940's vintage motorcycle to replace this one 😉"
The season finale of Castle Impossible airs on Tuesday. Catch up on all of the episodes on Max.
