June Las Vegas Mecum Auction

The big January Las Vegas auctions usually have a few dirt bikes mixed in. Not so the June auction coming up.
I've never seen so many vintage Huskys, CZ's, Greeves, Puchs, Zundapps and more up for auction.
Including quite a few "celebrity" bikes...where the prospective buyer better make sure the documentation passes muster!

Even if not in the market (I'm not...) fun to look through what is offered.

Wow, nice stuff. The Zimmerman bros. have quite the husky collection. Sweet KTM that was never ridden too.

One of the Vincent's holds a speed record to this day I think it's a black shadow?

My thoughts on a replica bike or car how come they bring so much as a orginal one? It's a fake right?

Check this out a collection of very old motorbikes, motorcycles and old cars going to auction. If I was born in the late 1800,s this would be my collection. I was born 70 years too late.

I just seen the video on the medium auction wow the prices. I wonder what the Husqvarnas will go for.

Now I wonder how many big collectors are there across the country of American made machines.

Dale Walksler has a great museum of vintage American bikes down in beautiful Maggie Valley NC.
When I lived in GA, it was a frequent visit...well worth if you are ever in the area.
He bills it as a "museum that runs".
On one visit, a rare and expensive Crocker was parked on the paddock outside the entrance. Dale fired it up, and blasted up and down the gravel access road, stone chips on his $300k (or more) Crocker be damned. He skidded to a stop with a big grin. "These bikes are meant to be ridden!" he proclaimed...

If it wasn't for the misses I'd have old bikes in the house. One in the living room for sure.

Every bike they start up smokes they soak the cylinders with oil first.

a mate is into the bicycle/ m/cycle of the 1920's..he has a swift 500cc. makes about 3 hp and is a direct drive..no shit.. to stop you either stall it or pop it up on the peg like the speedway guys do..fab at the traffic lights

Bigbill, It's because of the misses that we have old bikes in the house!

a freaking vincent doesnt hold a speed record to this day does it?

where are you seeing replica things bringing as much as the real deal?

We'll have to wait and see what that Charles Bronson replica husky 400 cross brings in. If it's like the replica muscle cars there bringing in high prices too. I don't want a clone or a replica.

The Vincent black shadow holds a record for its day, sorry. It's the first super bike(black lightening) I believe it was 150mph in the '50's.

the charles bronson bike is an original bike. its a replica of bengt abergs...its not a replica husky as you are thinking

Wow, I like the 1914 Indian 8 Valve Racer!

Have I shown you guys a bicycle I built?

nice!

Thanks, it's still not finished!

I built one for my grandson out of a standard cruiser but I have been wanting to do one like yours in the board tracker look. Yours is really cool.

Nice looking bike. Good thing your across the pond or I'd borrow it. And return it.

Chayzed Pilot, thanks mate!

Bill, bad luck you live so far away.
