As most of you know, Sears offered motorcycles that you could order to get shipped to your door in crates (branded as Allstate, made by Puch), awaiting your assembly. Here’s one of the smaller ones, a 60cc Sears Cheyenne.
1967 Aermacchi 350 Road Racer
6-5 Update: This bike is back up for sale with a much more reasonable BIN of $9,900 here on eBay. Post-Listing Update: This Aermacchi did not get any love at $13,900. The Aermacchi 350 Sprint was part of a joint venture with Harley-Davidson, created when H-D bought 50% of Aermacchi to help them compete in the small bike market. Originally …
1936 Harley-Davidson RLD
Produced between ’32 and ’36, the RL series of Harley-Davidsons were released in the middle of the Great Depression. Here’s one that looks absolutely fantastic (assuming that you’re like and me and that you love patina).

The Indian Scout 741 was used by the US Army, though the 500cc V-Twin was never good enough to beat out Harley’s WLA as the Army’s bike of choice. Instead it was used primarily by couriers and scouts. Here’s one that has shed its’ military background in the process of becoming a flat track racer.

Ivory Comet – 1997 Harley-Davidson Sportster Custom
I was pleasantly surprised to see this bike available for sale, as I saw it at last year’s Venice Vintage Motorcycle Club Rally, where it won best Cafe Racer. This bike has received a tremendous amount of press and won several other awards, including best Cafe Racer at the 2014 Born Free Show.
OCC V-Twin Turbo Sportbike
Here’s something I never thought I’d see – Orange County Choppers building a superbike…sort of. Covered as part of the show American Choppers, a team that normally builds custom choppers came together to build a frankenbike of sorts. It looked like a stretched Yamaha R1, but was powered by a turbocharged V-Twin and was complemented by Brembo brakes, BST wheels, …

Post-Sale Update: After being relisted, the Narrow One was sold for $8,500. This Shovelhead bobber is claimed to be an excellent runner (the seller says he’s taken it between LA and Vegas several times) based on a numbers matching ’74 frame, motor, and transmission.
