January 27-31. It will be live on YouTube Friday and Saturday. Significant collection of important machines. So far I see an ‘84 RGS, and a ‘75 SFC Electronica, but so many bikes I gave up.
 
Not a Laverda, but quite interesting just the same. The prototype 1968 CB750 pre/production bike which was sent to all dealers in the USA to garner interest and dealer orders. Lot S155, which puts it kinda 1/2 way thru Saturday Jan31 Las Vegas time, which I think is Mtn Standard Time.
Can be watched live on YouTube, auction starts Tuesday Jan 27.

The mind boggles at the amount of dealers that creamed their jeans on seeing, the long awaited Honda monster, for the first time.

No computer pictures, no emails just an envelope of brochures to get them interested and then on seeing the real thing ….. cor blimey, wank wank wank!
 
Noice! I'm heading up there tomorrow with my son. It's cheap fun as long as I don't bid on anything. Room at the Luxor is $75, tix to Mecum $30 ea. Should be fun. I checked around and don't have $66K anywhere haha.

Hello Team
Lucky day for me on the SFC Electra today, another bidder was hot to get this bike but it was a deeper pockets situation.
Mecum saw low bids today, Harleys sell for 3-6 K, Honda CB350's $30,000. So I knew this SFC was going to be the most expensive auction of the day and my cap was $65,000. Thanks Jota Dave for offering to ride it home to California for me, Lucky I have my trailer. The bike will get a complete front to rear Before it sees the Track in April at Willow Springs California OMRRA track weekend. Also Santa Anita bike show in March then Quail Conquers show in May. I Have a ton of plans that would make Laverda proud that One of their past racers are representing again.
Tuttobene
