Nostalgia plays a big part in collecting classic and vintage motorcycles, and there are plenty of bikes to bring back happy memories in the Charterhouse specialist auction of nearly 150 motorcycles being held at the Haynes Motor Museum on Thursday 13th March.
“Many bikes are bought out of nostalgia, what you had when you were younger, what your friends, dad, uncle or aunt had, and of course, what you couldn’t afford!” Commented Richard Bromell. “For me, it is the 1971 Gilera trail bike in the auction which brings back memories as my best friend had one, a hand-me-down from his big brother, of which I was very jealous!”
The 1971 Gilera trail bike £3,500 – £4,000 which brings back teenage memories for Richard in the Charterhouse auction of classic motorcycles on 13th March
