AUCTIONEER’S NOTE:
I have known this collection for over thirty years. Dick
helped me start our vintage auction business by selling me
some machines over 20 years ago. When David became the
curator for the collection, he added many of the bikes he
enjoyed while growing up in the motorcycle business.
There are some of the very old machines from the forty’s
that Dick put away a long time ago. There is an extensive
Honda collection that starts with one of the first Honda 300
Dreams brought into the US in 1959. We have a bunch of the
early 50cc’s including step-thrus, QA50s, Z50s, MR50s, 70’s,
Trail 90s, and an early 125 SS. There is a good selection of
the 250 and 305 Dreams, CB’s and Scramblers. There are 400
and 750 single cam Super Sports, a perfect ’71 CB 750, some
Goldwings and CBX’s, right up to Dick’s personal VF 1000R.
Bettencourt’s sold BSA’s, and there is a good selection of
those, as well as a few Triumph’s and Norton’s.
The shop has always been heavily involved in racing and we
have both “red tank” and “coffin tank” CZ’s, Bultacos
Elsinors and others. Dave has a nice Harley-Davidson CR Café
and a perfect Laverda SFS, as well as some of the small
Harleys. The collection is diverse and there will be
something for everyone from perfect bikes to projects. We
will have a complete list and photos on our website.
David has helped countless racers and motorcycle events over
the years. To pay him back we need you folks to come out and
buy these bikes to help raise money to help Dave beat
Leukemia. Most of the folks working the auction will be
volunteers. Thank you and we hope to see you there!
