WALWORTH, Wis. – April 15, 2021 – Mecum Auctions’ annual vintage and antique motorcycle auction will take place this April 28-May 1 at the Las Vegas Convention Center featuring an estimated 1,750 motorcycles to cross the auction block. Celebrating its 30th anniversary year, the event is recognized as the largest global gathering of consignors, buyers and spectators who share a passion for the history, beauty and camaraderie invoked and inspired by vintage and antique motorcycles.

Among the 13 collections currently consigned to the auction are a total of 386 consignments, of which 325 are offered at no reserve. Private collection highlights include 96 offerings from The Dick Ray Estate Collection—which includes BSAs, Nortons, Triumphs and many others at no reserve—and another 90 no-reserve offerings from The Stephenson Collection, including a historic 1929 Douglas SW5 Speed Model (Lot F142).

The J.C. Burgin Collection is another main attraction assemblage slated to sell in Vegas, and this group of approximately 50 motorcycles stands miraculously as one of the only collections in the world to contain at least one example of all 12 of Harley-Davidson’s famed Knucklehead series. From the 1936 Harley-Davidson EL (Lot S104) and the ultra-rare 1943 Harley-Davidson E Model (Lot S111), all the way up through the 1947 Harley-Davidson FL (Lot S115), all 12 model years of the venerable Knucklehead are present and accounted for, all are in stunning condition and all will be offered at absolute no reserve.

Another Harley-Davidson highlight among the Vegas auction lineup is a 1907 Harley-Davidson Strap Tank (Lot F191) with an original engine bearing No. 1877. Already one of the most desirable Harley-Davidson models in existence, this example is one of the most correct and original of its kind and has a rich personal history that is well documented, including time on display in several museums and a feature in the book “Heroes of Harley-Davidson.”

Included among the six high-quality motorcycles that make up The East Coast Motorcycle Collection is a restored 1911 Pierce Four Cylinder (Lot F148) that is powered by a 4 HP 4-cylinder backed by a 2-speed gearbox and a rebuilt and restored 1940 Crocker Big Twin(Lot F150) with its original motor, No. 40-61-113, that was removed and later sold and rebuilt by the late Dale Walksler of the Wheels Through Time Museum.

An iconic 1950 Vincent Black Lightning (Lot S136) from The Sinless Cycles Collection will also grace the Las Vegas auction stage. Bearing Serial No. F10AB/1C/3641, the bike was originally ordered by Danish sidecar racing champion David Axelson through the Copenhagen Vincent dealer Villy Egen.
