Dear Fellow Motorcyclists,
It is time to get ready for the 21st annual
Daytona Antique and Classic Motorcycle Auction and Vintage Bike Meet!
Last year’s auction was our best ever with $1,300,000 in sales at a 96% sale
rate! We are still striving for 100%. It does help that so many of you trust
us and our system of honest, fair representation and continue to consign
valuable motorcycles at no reserve. If you do not know us, or our event and
are nervous about selling your motorcycle with no reserve, we still do
accept consignments with a reserve.
Somewhat surprisingly, the market for good collectible
motorcycles has never been better. With the housing and some other markets
slowing, people seem to be investing in good collectibles. Even classic
automobile auctions have been very strong. The fact is that the supply of
these bikes is dwindling and the demand is building. Don’t forget J. Wood
and Company in your estate planning. We get rave reviews for the job that we
do, just contact us for more information.
Remember that our service doesn’t cost - it pays.
We were very happy to see the swap meet filled to
capacity last year and we have added some more spaces for this year. To
guarantee yourself a good spot, please register early. The same goes for the
motorcycle auction—please register them early for a good spot, and send us a
photo so we can advertise your bike for you. We save the best numbers for
good, pre-registered bikes, consigned at no reserve. Remember we have
thousands of buyers from all over the world that come to this event to buy
bikes. The auction stays strong as we move along at a good pace.
We are taking steps to streamline our office procedures
and to adjust the cost of title services. This process complies with the law
and protects your investment. Lynne Breckon, who has worked in the auction
office for many years, is now our event manager and has already added
activities and included more club participation in the meet.
This brochure is our mailing to ask for consignments,
but we already have a list of great bikes, most at no reserve including a
never ridden Honda 305 Scrambler: Gary Scott’s Triumph Dirt Tracker: a great
48 Indian Chief rider from an estate and many other great bikes. Add yours
as soon as possible, the list is growing each day and can be found on our
website.
As always, we look forward to seeing you at our annual
gathering during Daytona Bike Week.
Jerry Wood
