| Alain deCadenet and Malcolm Barber discuss a '67 Velocette Thruxton, which sold for $25,000, not including buyer's premium. Total sales for the day were $2.5Million. |

 |
| 1975 Ducati 750SS, 'square case'. Lovely machine. |
 |
| A very rare Norton 'Hi-Riser' Commando 850cc. When new, everyone threw out that seat and the handlebars... |
 |
| Groovy original '74 Honda chopper. |
 |
| Equally groovy 1895 Hildebrand and Wolfmuller, which sold for $140k+. |
 |
| The 1911 Marvel was just that - the last motorcycle designed by Glenn Curtiss, who had already moved on to aircraft building. |
 |
| I thought initially this was a desmodromic valve system; both valves are positively opened have a controlled closing by a single push-pull rod from the timing chest. The two-way rocker arm worked both valves. |
 |
| The steel petrol and oil tanks were part of the frame. It sold for $45,000. |
 |
| The new owner of the BMW R51RS, who looks just a bit stunned to have paid $130,200 for his new bike (inclusive of buyer's premium). |
 |
| A Shriner's Honda 305cc Dream, complete with ceremonial sword. |
