Featured in this sale is the personal collection of Michael Corbin,
founder of the prominent seat manufacturer Corbin. Over the years as his
company grew into one of the world's biggest and most respected
businesses of its kind, Mr. Corbin passionately assembled a select
collection of unique, meticulously restored motorcycles. While the focus
of this 20-bike collection is the legendary American make Indian - with
the headliner surely being Steve McQueen's 1940 Indian Scout - other
makes are also represented. Highlights include:

- 1906 Indian ‘Camelback’ Single
- 1912 Indian 7hp Twin
- 1929 Indian-Crocker 45ci Overhead-Valve Conversion
- 1933 Crocker Speedway Replica
- 1940 Indian Four
- 1942 Indian Scout
- 1948 Indian 74ci Chief

European

In addition to the Corbin Collection, many other motorcycles are
included in this select sale. Some of these include Evel Knievel's 2004
Harley-Davidson Heritage Softail (with a custom red, white and blue
paint job, what else?), a one-owner-from-new 1975 Ducati 750 SS Round
Case, a 1903 Rex Single, and an 1894 Hildebrand & Wolfmuller Replica.
This exceptional auction takes place in conjunction with the renowned
