Description:With over 60 rare and important motorcycles Webb’s Vintage Motorcycles and Industrial Design sale will be the largest public offering of its kind to be held within Australasia. With designs reaching back to the 1910’s through to the early 1970’s the event will celebrate both the iconic and the obscure in combustion technology.
The motorcycles presented each in their own way reflect their custodian’s time and place, their passion and knowledge and the great New Zealand culture of motorcycle riding, collecting and restoration for which our country is renowned. Like every passionate collector, the owners of these machines have chosen each on its individual merits. Some are clearly design classics that reflect an important conjuncture in the continuum of orthodox engineering practice. Others rest on the fact that they were ahead of their time, appreciated retrospectively as a doomed, wild and fool hardly exercise of machismo that today inspire. The ‘classic’ motorcycle can also be defined by the panicle of design excellence in a bygone era or a great thing that ended too soon - kind of like Jim Hendrix. The machines in this catalogue have all enjoyed the care and enthusiasm of their owners, individuals who ultimately could not resist the sheer pleasure of riding through our fair lands. And which ever way you look at it the idea of what is ‘classic’ will always remain internally subliminal.
