I The 2016 LAS VEGAS MOTORCYCLE AUCTIONS f you have not been to Las Vegas for the January Motorcycle Auctions before, you are missing out and definitely need to add this event to your bucket list— especially if you are looking to get yourself a different bike at the auctions. The Las Vegas Motorcycle Auctions were started by Mid-America Auctions, the original group that organized and conducted the first of these auctions. A few years ago Mecum Auctions, known widely for their classic 12 Thunder Roads Magazine® Colorado automobile auctions, decided to enter the motorcycle-side of the classic vehicle auction marketplace, acquiring the event from Mid-America Auctions a few years ago. Then, keeping things interesting, the renowned Bonhams Auction House, founded in Britain in 1793 (still headquartered there) also decided enter the marketplace. Bonhams created a separate event altogether, then strategically timed it to start just prior to the Mecum Auction February 2016 www.thunderroadscolorado.com
