Default Where to find bike auctions etc??

Hi Guys

Its been awhile since I have last been on here, but hope you are all ok. Some will know me from the AR07.

Anyway here's the question:

I hear time and time again these auctions (NOT ebay!) that somewhere bikes can be had for very little money, generally salvage bikes, insurance write offs, and finance owing bikes. So simply where can I get information on bikes sourcing such a bike?

Any input greatly appreicated, me buddy tells me he got 2 CBR125 for 500 quid a pair! So i'm tempt to look at bikes that need work, and hopefully ride one, as I would like a new bike to fiddle with as a project for little money!

Cheers to all

G

From an old Ride magazine, so I'm not sure if they're up to date:

If you have a friendly PC Plod or Mr Vatman, ask them who they use to get rid of their recovered and confiscated vehicles.

Or if you know any accountants who act as liquidators - they usually have tame acutioneers. I keep an eye on an auctioneer in Salford who I know handles stuff for liquidators.
