Calling Collect: Vintage Motorcycle Collection

A lot of cool old stuff that was just an affordable old car a few years ago has turned into a collectible automobile with prices to match.  Blame Barrett-Jackson, the Fed, Brexit, QE and QE2, or whatever, but amassing a collection is going to take you a few bucks as well as space.  Motorcycles haven't - for the most part followed cars - yet - and storing 16 bikes is a hell of a lot easier than 16 broken down old cars.  Find this Vintage Motorcycle Collection of 16 bikes including this 1973 Bultaco Alpina for sale in San Rafael, CA for $21,500 via craigslist.

Rok On Good People: 1973 Rokon Trail-Breaker Mk 4

Off road, two wheel drive is ok, but four wheel drive is mo betta.  In the world of motorbikes, one wheel drive is all you get, or is it?  In the early 1960's Charles Fehn had other ideas when he applied for a patent "Motorcycle Having Two Driven Wheels".  The result of his patent was the large, wheeled two wheel drive motorcycle, the "Trail-Breaker" that was mo betta if you were truly  going off the beaten trail.  Find this 1973 Rokon Trail-Breaker Mk 4 for sale in Maple Valley, WA for $2,400 via craigslist.
