My Expertise is with German - British and Italien Bikes.

 

I have decided to create a Website since I have so many requests from people who want to see current bikes and are also interested to learn how & what's involved to bring these old treasures over here to the US.

 

I have sold many Bikes til today and most buyers have purchased multiple Bikes from me and we all have become like a small clique - I sold 2 Bikes to one Gentleman from Wisconsin. Meanwhile they have visited me here in Florida, that kind of appreciation and the people I meet through the importation of Motorcycles is a great reward and makes it all worth while.

 

For me this is all about the relationships, and when someone comes back to me and buys again, that means that I have done everything right. I do take a lot of pride in what I am doing and my prices mostly cover my costs. On my last trip I traveld over 5000 mls. through out Europe. A gallon gasoline in Germany is $9,00. I am still Thankfull that I can do it - it's my passion.

 

Most of the time I meet the original owner or the 1st. owners family, many times I'll get original documentation and the History of the Bike during it's past life. All that is actually priceless.

 

One example. I sold a 1939 Victoria Fix 98 cc to a Gentleman from Washington State, yes 3000 mls. from Florida, it had the original Title and in Germany at the time, the title would not only contain your Name / Address - also your profession - This perticular Bike had 3 previous owners, everyone of them was a Priest.

Again History, in those years a priest many times relied on a Motorcycle to serve their congregation. 

 

My goal is always to find you not only a beautiful and unique vintage Bike but also a piece of History.

 

I feel more like an ambassador for classic Bikes from Europe. In the US 

we have our beautiful Harley's and Indian's. Each one a piece of Art in there own right, but there is much more out there, sometimes completely unknown Brands and Makes, many of my buyers pull up with their  

 " new " Bike to a classic event or just meeting with friends.

This is when the conversation begins about the classic Motorcycle.

 

In my picture gallerie you'll find some of the bikes that I have sold and they all are with verry happy owners now, you'll see a few local buyers in the pictures - all smiles picking up their bikes and they happely agreed to post their pictures on my site.

 

The 1952 Torpedo 150 from Germany for example, so rare that in 30 Years this was the first one I found for Sale in Germany in original Condition.

 

I hope you enjoy reading through the page and looking at the pictures.

Please feel free to conatct me with any questions or suggestions.

 

Thank you for taking the time and your interest.

 

Your Vintage Pete.
