An exceptional offering of celebrity motorbikes and rare models from private and corporate collections come to auction at Bonhams & Butterfields’ second annual auction in concert with Legend of the Motorcycle, the eagerly-anticipated international concours d’elegance returning to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Half Moon Bay, CA. The auction takes place on Saturday, May 3, 2008 and features memorabilia and motorbikes from the Michael Corbin Collection.
Highlighting the bikes from the Corbin Collection is the Steve McQueen stripped down ‘bobber’ style 1940 Indian Sport Scout, expected to bring $60,000 to $80,000. Much to the delight of collectors, this bike and several others from the collection is offered without reserve. The bike, offered with a certificate signed by Terry and Chad McQueen, was part of the McQueen Estate auction in Las Vegas in 1984 and became a centerpiece of the Corbin Collection in 2000.
