This Japanese Auction House Is Next-Level Motorcycle Heaven, You Have to See It

If you're a very hands-on type of person, chances are excellent that you've either heard or used (or both) the phrase "if you want something done right, do it yourself." Probably more than once, if we're being honest.

That's the story of Japan's BDS Auctions, which is the country's largest motorcycle auction house—but also, calling it just a 'motorcycle auction house' seems like a gross oversimplification. You see, this place doesn't only offer used motorcycles for sale, as both regular-degular bikes and premium offerings. Like you might expect, it also offers individual parts for sale.

But you might not expect that it actively trains and certifies motorcycle mechanics, in order to help fill a gap in the motorcycle industry at large. The more trained motorcycle technicians there are, of course, the more qualified folks there are who can fix all manner of motorcycles when they need it. To sweeten the deal, BDS also offers some nice perks for people who become members of the auction house, including access to what looks like a pretty amazing restaurant on the premises, in addition to bonus services offered on-site that include a spa and massage area, as well as a salon.
