The average high-end motorcycle auction can be a grand day out. Just maintain your sense of humor and don’t stray too far from the beer booth. (http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/features/columns/122_1205_motorcycle_auctions_megaphone/index.html)For years, decades in fact, I had avoided motorcycle auctions. As neither buyer nor seller, but simply yer humble observer/reporter, they seemed little more than a pain in the ass. Then last year, at the suggestion of erstwhile Motorcyclist columnist Ed Milich, who was otherwise occupied, I covered the Bonhams auction at the Quail Lodge in Carmel Valley, California, for Sports Car Market magazine. Since they covered my expenses I figured what the hell, it’s only about an hour up the road, may as well check it out. And if you can’t trust a tattooed poet who races vintage Italian bikes, who can you trust?
