You must obtain a dealer's license for the state in which you plan to attend auctions as they are not open to the public. To get a license you must have a USA address and prove it. Ray

Contact Manhiem Auctions they have motorcycle auctions at some locations . I know they hold them here in central Indiana but I'm not sure of other locations . You do have to be a licensed dealer in what ever state or country you are located . I understand there are several Canadian dealers that come to central Indy for this auction .I'm sure the auction can give you all the proper information . Cheers

You probably do better e mailing the dealers directly. Tell them you are buying a boat load of Harleys. Auction bikes, like auction cars, are the last resort for worn/problem/lemon vehicles.

If you're looking for rebuilders there are several online auctions that anyone can bid on. Buyer is responsible for the shipping. I also agree Craigslist is a good source.

Good luck on your quest.
