WOO HOO
What a trip!I have never seen so many bikes that I would love to buy in one place.The trip started out with a drive up from the plant on Thursday afternoon. It went very well and was a sub four hour ride. No stops, just press on through.
We checked in at the South Point Hotel and then headed for the auction.
There were acres of bikes, some classics some not so classic but all with their own story to tell.
How about this six cylinder Honda CBX from 1980, 1,000 CCS and six carburetors just to drive you nuts trying to get them all in sync.
I rode one down to Newport Beach with Anne on the back, that thing was a flying machine!
It was owned by my good friend and colleague Harold Kie.
The first night there I put $100 down on the crap table and walked away with $203, I figured that was a good profit for a weekend and quit gambling right there. (Well almost)
Then I hooked up with my buddy Elvis Knievel, big guy wasn't he?
This was the first stay at South Point, a bit out of the way but a nice hotel, if you are going to be in the center of action on The Strip, this is not the place for you. The rooms are spacious and with high ceilings making them feel very roomy. There are lots of facilities such as a cinema, spa, 10 restaurants, a million slot machines, you know the deal.
The view from my side of the hotel was very good too.
More about the auction and the bikes soon.
