| Once upon a time we visited Billy Joel's 20th Century Cycles |
There's a CHANCE that you've heard of Billy Joel, the "Piano Man" and his many hit tunes, albums, concert tours, etc. If you've read the NMS blog here, you might have caught one or two of our visits to his motorcycle collection in Oyster Bay NY. He had so many motorcycles that he opened a shop in the town there just to house them and have them worked on. It wasn't a business, and you could stop by at 20th Century Cycles and just take a look at all the cool bikes!

Well, time moves on, and Billy closed the shop, and the motorcycles will hit the auction block in NYC this November. Here's one article that describes the story much better than I can:

There will be viewing available in October at Christie's in Rockefeller Center, and then the auction held by Gooding Christie's, the official auction house of Retromobile in New York at the Javits Center in November.
