Larry Klein bikes
« on: December 30, 2016, 12:31:08 PM »
Ten of Larry's bikes will be sold at auction by Bonhams on January 26th. Check Bonhams website for more information.
I have no further information on an auction date for of the rest of Larry's bikes or the shop contents etc..

Thanks JJ for posting the web address! I'm working from my google tablet and am still figuring quoting and other stuff too. I am now and apparently ever will be a techonolgy luddite/boob!

I was told in a separate communication from another list that only Lots 130-139 were Larry's bikes. I'll correct that in due course if I'm wrong.

I'll be there with 2 bikes for sale so I'll keep an eye out for these. By the way there are at least 16 Vincents on the block this year! Gotta be some kind of record.

Always wondered what a nice Falcone would sell for. Now I know. Too rich for my blood.

That is correct Leroy. Lots 130-139 are Larry's bikes. I guess I could have done a little better at pointing them out. Thanks for the assist!!

That is a pretty nice 3000 mile LeMans. I would love to own that one.

Not that it really matters but the toolboxes are backwards on the V7 Sport.

Does anyone know why some LM1's have headlights flush with the fairing and others have the trim ring as this one does?
I believe Moto Borgotaro sold this bike last year, looks a lot like it.

That's the European style headlight,  the US got a different sealed lamp version that extruded out from the fairing..
