In Auctions by AbhiLeave a Comment

In Chester, Pennsylvania on August 24th, J. Wood & Company is offering over 100 motorcycles (and some bicycles, vintage tractors, memorabilia, and other goodies) from the estate of Kurt Rappold – all at no reserve.

Among other things, Kurt was the former curator of Willi’s Motorcycle World in Daytona Beach, Florida. The auction house notes that the “sale will have turnkey riders, fully restored collectibles bikes, and project bikes needing work.” Click here for their Terms and Conditions, including registration times and notes of the 10% buyer’s premium.

I don’t envy whoever has to go through all the parts and bikes, but there’s a lot of Japanese machines, a few BMWs, and a surprising amount of Harley toys. As with any good collection, there’s an occasional oddball or two as well. Here’s a Moto Guzzi Robin:
