Welcome to Brad's Bikes!
When my wife told me to get a hobby in late 1999, little did she know where it would lead!
It started innocently enough, with a 1975 Norton 850 Commando, which I drove home in 30 degree weather - and I'd never had anything larger than a 400cc prior!!!
A Hobby That Grew...
January found a 1974 Triumph Trident in the garage, along with a trailer-that's trouble! The rest is history, now having many more bikes than my age in years! Keep in mind that I'd stopped riding more than 25 years earlier! My, how all that changed!
This website is dedicated to my family, who have given me the time and support to get back into a sport I enjoy — from collecting to riding to racing.
Check out the bikes from around the world under Photo Gallery , and visit the special guests under Family and Friends! Interested in getting your first or next vintage bike? Check out our Current Offerings inventory!
You'll be pleased to know that Vintage Motorcycle prices are holding up VERY WELL, with the recent Bator/Wood Auction in Tennessee being strong proof of that. Being held on a Wednesday/Thursday may have limited attendance by some(like yours truly), but it still didn't stop over 1000 bidders from around the world from showing up in the heat of the Deep South, to bid on almost 400 barn fresh bikes that hadn't run in 25-40 years. Prices were through the roof by all accounts-there's no doubt that hard assets on two wheels are maintaining and increasing in value!
We have a very special Bike of the Month coming onto the website very shortly, a one-of-a-kind bike that is For Sale, please click on Bike of the Month next time for full details!
Looking for a great vintage bike? Take a look at our Current Offerings, a selection of vintage and modern motorcycles for sale from around the country, maybe in your backyard. If you've recently sold a vintage bike, send me a picture and the price, so we can post it on the Price Guide for the world to see!
Don't see anything on Current Offerings that satisfies your taste? Try our newest section, Bikes Wanted! Just send me an email of you're looking for, and I'll post it along with your email address. Make sure you let me know when you get a deal done, I want a picture and price for the Price Guide, good luck!
The popularity of vintage bikes and our website has escalated such that we're now getting alot of pictures from our website visitors regularly. These are posted to our Photo Gallery, so you can research that special bike you had back in the The Day!
