Per March’s unfortunate news, Iowa’s National Motorcycle Museum’s (NMM’s) motorcycle collections are slotted to be auctioned off at Mecum Auctions in September of this year, with “over 300 collector-grade motorcycles and over 1,000 lots of road art” primed for the stage – an unfortunate series of events, even in the brightest of lights (though we daresay the next owners will be the more jovial for the opportunity).

The fleets of motorcycles mentioned above belong to the John Parham Estate Collection – a beautiful homage to the past, contributing to the vast majority of the NMM’s bikes, including:

  • 1936 Norton International Road Racer
  • 1927 Brough Superior SS100 Pendine
  • 1955 Vincent Black Prince
  • Two Vincent Rapides
  • 1952 Vincent Black Shadow
  • 1937 Harley-Davidson EL Knucklehead

Expect the Parham Collection to hit the chop block from September 6-9, 2023, with a total of 6,000 machines slotted to be offered to the highest bidder.

“All bidders will be required to register in order to place bids, with registration starting at $100,” offers coverage from RideApart.

“Interested parties can register online via the Mecum website, which we’ll link in our Sources. Registration will also be available on-site at the auction, which will take place at the Museum itself in Anamosa.”

“In-person registration will include admission for up to two people to attend the auction for all the days of the event; those unable to attend in person will be able to bid remotely online or via telephone.”

With the auction’s preview booked on September 5th (a Tuesday), we look forward to seeing each and every one of these magnificent machines finds a new home.
