Lot 107 - 1952 Vincent Series “C” Rapide

Current owner purchased this Vincent Rapide with non-matching numbers in 1972, sold it in 1974, and repurchased it in 1985 after a new bottom end was installed. It is likely that this Vincent Rapide was enhanced with Black Shadow parts before it made the journey from England to the US. Crankcase will require drain-plug helicoil before riding. Front brake balance-beam adjuster is stripped. The front wheel has one Shadow front drum and one Rapide rear drum—a quality new front Shadow drum is included to complete the Rapide-to-Shadow brake conversion. Also included, a set of NOS AM4 brake linings. Probably needs a new wiring harness, but runs with current wiring harness and magneto.Horn will require disassembly and adjustment to be operational. Front tire OK, but ancient rear tire requires replacement. All the hard work has been done. After a few mechanical touches and a new rear tire, this Vincent will be a great ride for its next owner. BTW, this bike’s name is Gladstone.

Lot 116 - 1962 BMW R27

This is a beautiful example of BMW’s final single. Known as a classy, quiet, and extremely civilized motorcycle, only about 900 examples were manufactured during this model year, making it a rare BMW, indeed. On one of their shows, the American Pickers paid $8,000 for an R27 not as nice as this one. Note: This R27 ran great after a fresh top-end job, but then the timing chain got very noisy. The bike should not be started until the included new timing chain and new tensioner are installed.

Lot 118 - 1964 BMW R50/2

The current owner has ridden this motorcycle at least 50 miles every year since 1980. It has been the soul of reliability—it just will not quit. Even though not all its parts are correct, they all work well together, if not the most powerful R50/2 on the block. Thebike starts on first or second kick. The name of this bike is Moose because the Hoske tank and USA bars give him a big-shoulders, wide antlers look.

•500 CC two-cylinder

•7-gallon Hoske gas tank

•2 Karcoma petcocks

•Full toolkit

•Cast alloy oil pan

•USA handlebars

•Speedometer not original but believe 80K mileage is close to accurate

•Good title

Lot 119 - 1964 Harley-Davidson Sprint

The Norton gas tank mounting legs were cut off by previous owner so it would be difficult to again mount it on a Norton. Current owner decorated it with the “Bicentennial Sportster” look. Ran (with a bit of smoke) when parked due to a broken chain adjuster—it needs a small weld in order to properly locate the rear wheel.•

250 CC single-cylinder

•Norton N-15 gas tank and headlight

•Triumph 500 muffler

•Funky handlebar mount

•Good title

Lot 123 - 1965 Velocette Venom

Absolutely solid machine with Norton Atlas fenders since 1972. These fenders have been on too long to change. This bike has not been used since 1981. The 1965 model offers improved oiling. With minor work (clutch adjustment and minor fettling), you will have one mellow Velo.
