A '96 Z50 just went for $2,200.
Oh but this is not live. The Mecums web site shows all Tuesday bikes sold.

A few years ago I was watching and a guy got the bid for a Green Streak. The announcers were totally oblivious that the new owner was Brad Lackey.
My wife calls you guys the Yahoos.
I am not a car guy at all. I like that it that many of their cars can be afforded by average incomes.
I'm wasting my day watching this auction. Man the Harley motocrossers are fetching big bucks!

A lot of those bikes ^^ are from Moto Armory (aka from the Primm Museum) and are awesome.
Incredible prices on small bikes at Mecum today. 1973 XR75 over 9K, some Z50's in the 5K plus range. Saw some real good deals as well.
Would be fun to see it in person once.

So who can even understand what the hell those auctioneers are even saying? Couldn't they talk slow and accomplish the same thing?

640k for a Crocker 39 was the highest i saw.
Are MC COLLECTIONS selling out?
That place is over the top ,but I think it it is in Sweden ,probably a bit worried about things getting taken.

Many of the bikes Mecum's is selling this year are from a big collection in Sweden. Probably bring much more money over there than over there. Bikes that were never imported to the USA and all.

I saw those old huskys with JAP engines,damn.
The guy had some connection with husqvarna I think,or just Sweden ,but that place is going sideways fast especially with the new government they just installed.
Lackey's 82 works 250 did not come close to the reserve which was announced to be over $40,000.
