Default looking for old us bikes.

Anybody know of a good auction site or retail sales joint that specializes in old american bikes. I might be in the market for an Indian or a 1927 or so harley.

Old scoots are difficult to come by, big money if you know anything about them.

How old are you looking for? I guess you said what you were looking for.

Check out www.caimag.com. Goto the forum introduce yourself and put the question there.

Do believe though that you will be paying a lot more for a pre-30 bike than the 20K you have set aside

I love the 47 indians. I've seen 1928 aND 1927 harleys in ebay for 10 to 16k. Figured if I spent 20 I might get a little better bike. Maybe have to find some more cash. The big thing is, in this economy, prices can come down on collectable sometimes.

Mecum has a couple mc auctions each year. There's a running 32 on Ebay with no bids and no reserve. Be interested to see what it sells for.
