Mid American Antique Motorcycle Auction

This week finds me hangin’ near Las Vegas again for the annual Mid American Antique Motorcycle Auction at South Point Casino. And once again we started the week shooting Nortons and Triumphs just south and east of Vegas near the little town of Nelson. The place actually goes by the name Eldorado Canyon and more information and photos can be found at: http://eldoradocanyonminetours.com/

Does anyone wonder why I love it here? Old trucks, older buildings, great vistas and very mellow people.

Today’s victims included a Norton Atlas and a very nice black 750 Commando. Nearby is one of my favorite shots from the day’s work – love those old Internationals.

The International is a new acquisition, and made a nice background for this pristine and recently restored 750 Commando.

The place is simply amazing, everyplace you turn there’s another old building or another old truck. Later this week they have a group coming from Discovery Channel to re-enact the 10 most famous shoot outs in US history – think OK Corral. At first I thought it might be fun to be here when they start shooting – until I heard that they plan to use live ammo. Maybe that’s a good day to hang out at the Casino instead.

And if you don’t like old tucks or old buildings, there are some pretty amazing rock formations.
