UN-BE-LIE-VA-BLE!
I always get a little emotional if treasures like these are being discovered by heartless hunters with dollar signs in their eyes.....please come to the auction, please come to the auction....once in a lifetime....bweeeh!
I'd rather have these collections unrecovered then.
But that is my personal opinion.
Regards,
Sven

Henk, why wait until he 'pops his clogs' ? Can't we just get him in an old people's home and then start plundering ?

I'll give you a free hand on all Lex's BSA stuff if I can have the Norton !

Re: Old cars and bike unearthed in the USA

See, I'm not even dead yet, and there's fighting already!

Rik, did you get my email??

Cheers,

Try to get 120 years old and you can have all the bikes you want because the young ones only will have verry old bikes like the first Honda 4 and XS650 yamaha Gr Theo

Re: Old cars and bike unearthed in the USA

If you put as much energy you can in getting the young people enthusiastic you can never blame yourself Theo!

Well, that's the American way. Turn it into a carnival, "La-deees an' gentlemen, step right up!"

Keep your hand on your wallet.

Well there's a whole load of nice machines that shouldn't have been started up without proper strip down & inspection.

Just what I said at the time! It's not good for the engines, and the black soot always sinks to the bottom, so they think the oil is clean, very amateurish! But it sells I guess, overall takings at the sale were just short of 4 million dollar!

Re: Old cars and bike unearthed in the USA

I told my son, he would have fun selling my collection when I'm gone. He said "can't you just sell it now Dad, and leave me the cash" Ron.

Re: Old cars and bike unearthed in the USA

Ron, it can be worse, was told a while ago, by a collector friend, who was talking to his son in law, what he would do with all the stuff? "scrap the lot" the son in law said!

Well some people just don't see any value in old stuff.

On another occasion, same son in law was watching a transaction going on between the collector and another person buying some bikes, and the buyer said, "well OK, I'll have it, but I pay 20 now, and 20 by check" so afterwards the s.i.l. asked " well dad why couldn't that man pay the 40 quid in cash??"

It was ofcourse 40 grand!

Anyway, I sent the films to my mom, and she agreed, that my backyard wasn't so bad after all

Lex
