thanks JJ.  I am trying to put some travel plans together.  Never been to Vegas and think it might be a hoot.

If you have never been to Vegas, you will have a BLAST, whether you stay 2 days or 4 days, believe me! 

I will PM you my mobile phone number. :thumb: :cool: :boozing:

Me too, esp. the 750S, as you don't see those in the US.

I'd love to have one of the Bacon Slicers too, if just to look at.

these two are in the other auction





these bikes are $12-15k estimate

I have to wonder, with stock market tanking, if buyer participation will be affected?  It certainly put a dent in my pocket.

My experience is that people with A LOT of disposable income...aka, "RICH PEOPLE"...are rarely affected by any stock market swings...

I see a lot of guideline prices that seem higher than usual, for example the Ducatis from Sweden. Is this optimism  to entice sellers to consign, or does Mecum do serious research?
The Brough Superior might be the top seller? I would be bidding on this one:


'93 Daytona 1000
'95 Sport 1100
'98 Ducati 900 SS Final Edition
2002 Aprilia RSV Mille R
'10 GasGas e250 FE

QUOTEIs this optimism  to entice sellers to consign, or does Mecum do serious research?

In my experience, it's BOTH, and research is based on hammer-prices from previous auctions, etc.  NOTE, however, like the stock market, auctions prices for vintage motorcycles goes UP and DOWN! 

Yes, that SS100 Brough-Superior will be one to watch for sure!! :wink: :cool: :thumb:
