Motorcycle Collectibles

The love of the motorcycle by men and women, whether it is a brief affair, or a lifelong dedication, is accompanied by collecting fever. It is not just the models, some of them going back to the 1920s, but the patches, insignia, and company souvenirs. With motorcycles, the collector usually has his favorite make, to which he remains fiercely loyal. Whether you are a Harley-Davidson fan or an Indian "motocycle" aficionado, everyone has a machine that best suits his temperament and lifestyle. Additional collectibles include company advertising, such as Coca Cola, allowing for a crossover in collecting that can contribute to driving up the prices of the most attractive items.

As well as books, posters and banners, there is a broad market for motorcycle jewelery, clothing, and pins, as well as the customary souvenir shop items such as cigarette lighters and salt and pepper shakers. Even the newest kid on the block, the mini-chopper, becomes a collectible candidate. Where most of the true bikers might not collect anything more difficult to transport than a tattoo, weekend bikers will often augment their recreation with collectibles that display the insignia or the name of their favorite machine. Before entering the field as an investor, the reader is wise to research such books as Motorcycle Collectibles with Values by Leila Dunbar, published by Schiffer. 15hqqx.
