Buyer Representation
Finding the right bike, not just an available one.
Quiet, patient, network-driven sourcing for collectors who already know what they want. From single-bike searches to building out an entire collection, with verification, negotiation, and logistics handled end-to-end.
Credentials & experience.
Over many years of owning, buying, selling, and brokering hundreds of motorcycles, I've worked with everything from project basket cases to seven-figure collections. Years inside the auction industry built a working knowledge of values, provenance, and the people who own the bikes that never publicly come up for sale.
Most of the bikes worth owning aren't listed anywhere. They sit in private garages, estates, and long-term collections, and they move quietly between people who know each other. That's the network I spend my time inside, and the one I open up for clients.
What I enjoy and value most about all of this is the stories and histories behind the bikes. Every machine carries the people who built it, raced it, restored it, and looked after it. The ultimate goal is keeping that passion alive for generations to come, by making sure each bike ends up with the right caretaker to carry its story forward.
