   If you can’t make it to Vegas January  24-28, it will be live-streamed the entire auction.
 I’ve been to the auction 3 times. It’s a true spectacle!

I was hoping to make it this year but Joe has decided no and it is not that much fun alone. I have to go in 23-25th for treatment/tests so would be late getting there in any case. Maybe I will see if they have a summer event this year?
At least I can watch live to see what goes by… not the same though.

It sold for $55k USD.  That's gotta be a record for a mid number machine.  A 75 went for $22k and it was not proper spec.  A 74 and another 75 went for $27.5k.

I thought the Italian tiddlers are selling at a pretty good price and a few BSA’s went by yesterday making some good money. There were some everyday bikes going by at very reasonable prices and a few BMW as well. Do wish I had gone

Cheez, maybe I'll get the money back on what I spent on my CB.

AHAHAHA!!!   I did a sort on Honda CB750's and there were 5 sold, all around $8k to $10k.  I was surprised.  One was a 1970.

Oh, I did ok on the CB750 when I released it from the herd, but the CB350 was more a resurrection that a restoration, so more bucks went into it than any other bike I've had.

Let my Daytona special go for 6k US$ in 2016 and rg500 for 12k Canadian in 2012. Should have held out...

Seems to have been an ongoing case of flavour of the month/year with steady prices for HD, Triumph (but not T150’s), off road was steady too but few wild prices and some nice modern bikes for good prices. I would have done well with some of my 2 strokes and Norton’s are reliable moneymakers.
The Harley Scat models (animal crap??) were going like hotcakes right around $6k, I had never noticed there were so many versions of the War-Repair DKW copies.

I did good on my 1979 CB 750 but I would rather have it in the garage to look at .
