We Have Not Posted Any Motorcycles Lately,

so here are a few,


 and not just any motorcycles, theses are the ones us mere mortals can only dream about, like the one above from Max Hazan, a Hazan supercharged KMT, his bikes are eyewateringly expensive, lets put it like this, if you did not win 1st prize on this weeks lottery, you can not afford one! crazy but it is true, so it is amazing that Bobby Hass has 5 of them in his collection!

 another Hazan, the 1965 Harley Ironhead,

 in the UK back in the 1940s/50s you may have seen one of these, a BSA Bantam used by Royal Mail messengers to deliver telegrams, but this one reworked by Craig Rodsmith called The ‘Corps Leger’ 

 this is the one for me, Hazan’s original ‘Musket’

 a 1930 Harley Davidson model V,

so what else does Bobby own? well he’s extended collection also includes bikes from Craig Rodsmith, Revival Cycles, Bandit 9 and Deus Ex Machina, and he’s just opened the latest and greatest of his public collections, welcome to the new Haas Moto Museum & Sculpture Gallery, the obvious question, just how many bikes does Bobby have? “Our total collection now numbers just shy of 150 cycles,” he says, “That’s across our two facilities. I am basically the ‘new kid on the block’ in this area, since my first acquisition of a cycle for display was in December 2014 by submitting the winning bid on eBay for a 1952 Matchless G3L. Since then, we have been acquiring new bikes at a rather mind-bending pace of almost 50 per year, the cycles have been collected from all around the globe via direct negotiations, from domestic and foreign dealers, via auctions by Bonhams and, in the case of our Custom Collection of 24 handmade cycles, via direct purchase and commissions with renowned builders such as Craig RodsmithMax HazanRevival Cycles, Parker Brothers Concepts, Arch Motorcycle, Alex Earle, RK Concepts, Fuller Moto, LC Fabrications, Bandit 9, Deus Ex Machina, as well as three custom cycles that I personally designed and built with Strokers Dallas.” What a collection, so for anyone out there that wants to see a great collection call in, and no you cannot take one home as a souvenir!
