A 1933 Royal Enfield V-twin motorcycle is one of about 400 motorcycles and scooters in a no-reserve auction June 25 in Columbia, Tenn.The motorcycles (and cars and even a crashed airplane) were part of the S&G Custom Cycles collection started before 1919 when seller Sam Goodman's grandfather opened a motorcycle business.
"Sam’s dad passed away recently and Sam had to make a choice between running the family’s 700-acre farm or the bike shop. He has chosen to retire and run the farm and has contracted us to sell this entire collection at no reserve," auctioneer Jerry Wood said.
