'American Pickers' star Mike Wolfe is auctioning a collection of 70 motorcycles he's purchased over the past 30 years at a Mecum Auctions event in Las Vegas.
"Obviously, a lot of that’s connected to family, but with a collector, a lot of the stuff becomes family, so there are decisions to be made."
"If you look at Glenn Curtis from Hammondsport, New York, he was one of the forefathers of the aviation industry. He started out with bicycles and made motorcycles called Curtis and Marvel and held a lot of land speed records," he said."George Hendee and Oscar Hedstrom from Indian, those guys were both bicycle guys. Albert Pope was a bicycle guy with one of the biggest bicycle companies in the world before he started making motorcycles.
"It's an original paint bike, but the owner customized it to make it very unique, which was something that was a little bit unusual back then," Wolfe said.He gets the motorcycles running when he can, but never restores them. He likes to preserve their history. Not just their own, but what they mean to him personally.
