Wow, really neat bikes. The 1910 version is in mint condition. Can't believe they built them without brakes...hmmm something missing? But as you said, only sissies needed brakes. I love the history of the Harley bikes, so fun to follow the evolution over the years. The Indian, Harley's are so collectible. Looks like you had a great weekend at the show!
It was just incredible. There is/was a long term Harley Dealer in Phoenix named Buddy Stubbs. He's died in the last few years and at least part of his personal collection showed up at this auction. I always loved going to his dealership because at least 10-15 of the classic bikes would be available for viewing. Next edition has an example of 'the most collectible motorcycle in the world'. It isn't an Indian or a Harley or even an American. There is a back story and I'll get to it, I promise.
