Back in a February 2025 BaT auction, BaT member gferg won this 1990 Moto Guzzi Le Mans 1000 Mark V from Jayjaybay H.e recently wrote in to tell us about his first BaT win:
This was my first major long-distance bid-and-win purchase, and it was a very good experience! I originally registered online to get notifications on some key searches, and within a couple of weeks, this Le Mans V showed up in Michigan. I live in Oklahoma, and it was the middle of winter at the time. The communication tools were good for both seller and bidder and after a few questions, I determined the seller was a straight shooter.

Australian BaT user Basil017 last wrote to us in 2022 about his ’66 Impala wagon. He’s back with a new story, this time about the 1991 Harley-Davidson Sturgis that he won from Harley502 in an August 2025 BaT auction.
I was stoked to have won this 2.8-mile H-D Sturgis recently. Even better, we now had an excuse to plan a quick road trip to the West Coast of the United States, and pick it up with another bike we had recently acquired. Unfortunately, our flight from Melbourne, Australia, was delayed by four hours! This meant we had already missed our connection to Seattle, where we’d travel to meet Harley502 at our pre-arranged pick-up spot for the bike! Once we were finally on the plane, an Airbus A380, we were informed that fuel had been loaded into the incorrect tanks, and we’d be delayed another two hours! These setbacks seemed to set a precedent that followed us for the first part of the trip!
