After spending nearly a week shooting vintage bikes for Bonhams, I can honestly say that I know what it’s like to be the kid in the candy store :)

As a kid and long before I had my driver’s license, I used to dream about these bikes. Harleys, Ducatis and Triumphs were my favorites. I remember going to the dealerships to collect catalogs and pin them up on my bedroom wall.

Shooting these beautiful and rare bikes really took me back — I was to young to ride them and by the time I was old enough — most of these models were no longer available. I had many different bikes over the years and seeing some of these that were to be auctioned off, I wish now that I could have kept them all. As they say, hindsight is 20/20.

A little bit about Bonhams:
