Crazy George Bikes

I've got one- the state of California didn't have paperwork on any of the bikes, so when they sold at auction they were all registered as '78 uncer's (uncertain). I have copies of 2 newspaper articles from '77 -'78 - they sold 18 motorcycles for a total of $19,000. Top sellers were a '51 Shadow, a '50 Moto Guzzi Falcone and a '50 Norton International- all going for $1550 each.

some interesting links on george Disteel that have been broken

Hi Richard.
I have purchased the last shadow 1953 sold that day to Arlen Ness who had Dick Busby sort it out then sold to Mark Allen {bigbadfarmer on ebay} several years ago.

Its mentioned on page 138 "Vincents in a barn" as the one drilled full of holes and picture on page 140 outside Mark Allens place. Please drop and email to me so i can send you some pictures etc.

The website won't come up for me, Graham-but that is nothing unusual-the computer often doesn't like me!
