REAL TREASURE IN NEW
ENGLAND
TBA, J Wood
and Company Auctioneers will be selling Dude
Wheelers Gate City Cycle Center estate. The Gate
City shop was started in 1959, and is a walk back in
time for Triumph owners and collectors!
Inside we
have a ton of Triumph motorcycles, from projects to
show quality, with a handful of Japanese bikes
thrown it as well. Its a great collection, from the
famous 1959 Bonneville, covering the 500/650/750
twins, right up to the later model 750 Tridents. We
even have a 1973 Triumph Hurricane that Dude built
himself, using all NOS parts, and is in new
condition!
In addition to this great motorcycle
collection, there are multiple buildings with rows
and rows of new parts, NOS inventory and used parts.
This hidden away parts inventory is vast and
includes tons of those special, hard to find
original parts needed to complete projects the right
way.
We will also be selling a complete workshop,
including equipment and special tools.
Here is a
chance to get enough Triumph parts and tools to
start your own shop, enhance your current
collection, or just purchase that bike you have
always wanted to own!
All items to be sold at no
reserve to the highest bidder, so you the bidders
control the prices, and everything sells that day!

Jerry has
been working in the motorcycle industry since 1965 |
Jerry and his wife, Dee
started J. Wood & Co Auctioneers in 1980 selling
motorcycle shops, as well as machine shops and
factories. In the 1980’s the vintage motorcycle
market started to take off. You could find a Triumph
Bonneville in one place for $500 and another
advertised for $5,000. In 1988 they came up with the
idea of running a motorcycle consignment auction
during Daytona Bike Week. Their goal was to offer
the bikes in a nationally advertised auction with no
false bidding to determine the true market value for
vintage motorcycles. What they did was to put each
bike on the block, get all of the bids in, and if it
met the owner’s reserve, then it was sold.
In
all cases, they published the high bids for each
bike, establishing fair market value. This system
was met with great approval from the buyer’s and
seller’s alike and the business took right off.
The Daytona
auction was a fixture at Bike Week for 25 years. J.
Wood & Co has conducted many auctions all over the
country including large private collections,
estates, and shops of all sizes. They still run the
auctions the way they would want them run as
customers. Highly experienced motorcyclists with no
false bidding or BS. Fair and square have worked for
38 years. With Jerry’s son Jeff and his wife Jackie
joining the company, they will continue with that
tradition.
