There was a mega motorcycle auction today in San Jose CA. Apparently there was a man who collected hundreds of super rare and desirable motorcycles all his life and has a personal museum that the public was never never privy to. Nobody knew about this collection. The man died and these bikes are being auctioned off. There was an entire room just devoted to Indians. Go to these links and check it out. Simply amazing.

Man, I sure missed that one. Right in my own backyard, too.

Wow. I could never bring myself to go to one of those. My best bid would be an insult to the bikes.

A reminder that we can't take any of this with us when we go!
That 1923 Indian is just something else.

Thanks for sharing!

Lots of good stuff coming to market soon!

Here’s just a couple links to the upcoming Lee Hartung auction out of Chicago. Dale Walksler of “Wheels Through Time” is acting as a consultant and has been posting videos on his YT channel...

Pretty freakin amazing collection of bikes, not to mention the cars and other goodies. Absolutely unreal collection, it should be kept together as a complete collection, sad to see it broken up and sold to the highest bidder, but such is life. Eitherway, this stuff will be preserved forever.
